disappointing. AT Fulham palace most of
the early American specimens are dead or
dying. AT oxford there is a good bald
cypress, and few other specimens, and
at Paris the old locust tree planted by
Robin in 1896 seems to have taken a new
lease of life. All of us who care for our
beautiful vegetation should unite in every
way possible to broaden interest into ac-
tivity, remembering Nansens words when
the Fran was passing the Norwegian
coast. and he exclaimed: How glorious
to have a beautiful country, even If IL is
a poor one!" We should remember that
our country, though rich, is also beautl-
full, and the preservation of its beauty
should be very dear to us.
