what is practicable and what is imprac-
ticable may be gained.
Every effort 's 20 be put forth TO &C
complsh not only this end, but to make
the arboretum useful az an object lesson
to all who may visit the beautiful park.
Everything that will serve TO stimulate
interest and add to the knowledge Of the
public regarding forestry and trees is to
be supplied 1t is proposed 10 prepare
circulars describing in untechnical Ian
guage the experiments I'm forestry being
carried on for distribution 10 visitors
and 70 others TO whom they would be Of
value. Labels and placards will be en-
ployed to identify the different varieties.
Winding forest paths win guide the
visitor from one point to another, pro-
viding opportunity for the examination
Of the various groups Of trees. These
groups win represent the valuable COM
mercial varieties found in the South in
the far West, in Europe and on the other
continents which will grow in the soil
and the climate found on the banks Of
the Genesee River.
The park, therefore, viii iii a double
role, that of a museum of living trees
and that Of a laboratory in which ex-
lieriments may be made in arboricuI-
turc. 1t is especially well adapted for
use as an arboretum owing TO the di-
versity of It's natural characteristics and
its location. Its canyons, its slopes it's
open meadows and its range Of elevation
Present an unusual variety Of exposures
and climatic cOnditions. Owing 10 the

The idea Of adding TO the forests In tna
park was In the mind of Mr.. Letchworth
before he died, and he indicated on q
map of the park the areas which he
thought might be devoted to trees
These will be followed in the planting az
closely as possible. He had, IN fac~
established an arboretum on a small
scale. planting trees himself and inviting
distinguished visitors TO erect memorials
OF themselves on the place in the same
manner These trees are carefully
labelled and catalogued. IN addition
there is some primeval forest which owes
its escape from the ravaging hand OF the
lumberer through the difficulty OF ac-
cess to it.
Thus is 1t proposed TO preserve and 10
