of the rule against honoring merely
grand persons, totally unacquanted with
natural history" for Washington was
both lover of and a distinguished pro-
moter of the natural sciences.
The law governing the case reads:
Publication of species consists only (1) in
the distribution of a species, named, or (2) in
the publishing OF a binomiai with reference to
previously published species type.
DR.. Winslow's action is legaiized by the
last clause above.
A wise regulation universally followed
by working botanlsts is, Readily adopt
names found in travellers notes, unless
they are more or less defective"
Dr. Winslow was more than a mere
traveller. lie correctly described the big
trees. Moreover, he did that which alone
would settle the question, he referred to
Llndley's earlier description and to his
name, both parts of which afterward were
found to be untsnabie; he proposed an
otner name, Wasnlngtonianum, which
was legltmately derived, correctly Latin.

published year earlier than Seeman's
name OF Welllngtonia in journal of good
standing and wide circulation, and which
has been quoted in botanical descriptions
of the tree ever since. Sentiment aside,
for 1t has nothing TO do with science, Well
ingtonia and Gigantea are down. Sequoia
and Washingtonianum stand. L here is
but one legitimate procedure before us.
Taking Winslow's choice and changing o
the final anum to ana, which is rulabe,
to make it agree with Sequoia, the
amended name Washingtoniana must bs

full botanical name OF the most magnti-
cent tree on the face of the earth, there to
remain as long as science IS fostered by
enlightened nations, incidentally but

WOMEN OF SAN FRANCISCO

City women learning something of the
value of the country and its refining
qualities.
Why are all the people in France so
susceptible to art; in Germany to music?
One reason must surely be that they live
near to nature, and as art but portrays her
it is familiar face they find depicted
upon the walls of salon or academy.
From the time our race began to emerge
from savagery the greatest art-loving peo-
pies have been the greatest nature-lovers.
And nature-loyers must live out of doors.
In this matter of going out do not be-
gin to think of the things that will pre-
vent you from going. Do not stand on
precedent and think that because you
never did read in the park you cannot now
begin. Just take each good day as it
comes and with no fuss or prior planning
go out
Plant vines. There are dozen vine
screens you can have with the very small
est amount of labor. Then if you care to
buy mating, rugs, hammock or two,
some wicker chairs, a lot of the straw
woven mats that are half pillow, or the
grass-stuffed pillows, new this year, you
can create q perfect outdoor bower OF
your porch with the outlay of but very lit
tie money.

under the rules, Is now declared untea-
able.
The laws of nomenclature enacted by
with the international one at Paris in 1867,
have very much modified the giving OF
names to promote clearness and prevent
confusion. Now it is decreed that priority
of publication-provide certain particu-
lars are observed-shall govern.
During the months Of August and Sep
tenn ber 1854, DR.. c. f. Winslow, distin-
guIshed naturalist of San Francisco, con-
tributed series of six long letters descrip-
tive of the big trees, their matchless
dimensions, the minun8 of their fruit,
foliage, ETC., In one of which occurred the
following impulsive protest:
The name that has been applied to this tree
by Professor Lindley, an English botanist is
NeIllngtonia derived from) an English hero,
q step indicating S much personal arrogance
or weakness as of scientific indelicacy, for it
must have been in his mind that American
naturalists would regard with surprise and
reluctance the application of British name.
however honored, when name so worthy as
that OF Washington would strike the mind of
the world at large far more suited to the
most remarkable tree indigenous 10 a country
where his name is the most distinguished.
If the big tree be a taxodium let it be called
Taxodium Washingtonia. If il be properly
ranked as new genus let it be called to the
end OF time Washingtoni8 California;.
No name can be more appropriate. and if it
be in accordance with the views OF American
botanists l move to discard Lindley's name
and affix that of the immortal man whose
memory we all love and teach the youth to
venerate.
As affairs have turned out, Dr. Wins

by the proposal OF certain binomials, part
of one of which-Washingto ngtonianum-be

There are, of course. the fortunate thou

City ard fit away to the country each

is little to urge; they make it business
TO be out boating, riding, driving, tennis,
swimming, or their wheels lure them out
under the skies. There are lawn parties
and inviting nooks for them under trees
or on wide verandas. If women thus
wooed to health, to fresh, clean and out
door air to the very essence OF summer
pleasure are blind enough TO stay indoors,
nothing We can say will move them-their
ca Sc is hopeless and We will pass them by.

is perceptible. 1t is the thousands of City
women that seed of am bi ion must be

Follow i'll their lead and by fall you will
find that instead of wasting the summer
you have spent it more profitably than

IL appears from recent publications by
TWO treIess delivers among old books and
other documents at Cambridge ard Wash
lngton that the descriptive botanical name
ol Sequola gi -antea 80 long borne by our
Sierra big trees is untenable in part, and
TINS faulty portion (the second name)
must give way to one earlier conferred.
The contention of certain botanists is
that the other name must be Yelling
tonia. Others declare that it must Oe
Washingtonia, according to adherence or
non adherence TO certain lately enacted
laws of nomenclature.
If the latter name is the one that must
be restored 10 our big tree, incidentally the
ghost of Wellington, which for the third
time has stalked forth to plague US, is laid
forever, and our most worthy American
father will be grandIy mOnumented in
natural history, which he loved so well.
So interesting to tree-Iovers everywhere
is this matchless tree-ior it is we'll known
and extensively cultivated abroad-and so
satisfactory must this new name prove to
Americans, that brief description of the
nomenclature of this tree cannot fail of
interest, though it will involve the use OF
a few technical terms.
1t Will be necessary 10 begin with the
earlier discovered species, the coast red
wood. Discovered at an unknown early
date. the coast redwood was first de-
scribed and published by Lambert OF
London in 1893, under the name of Taxo-
dunn sempervirens-he thinking the
trees formed anoi her species of the we'll
known taxodium or bold cypress of the
Eastern States.
In 1847 Eadlicher, a German botanist,
believing that it was a distinct genus.
