ARBORETUMS
Sir,-These are the highest, forms of tree work or use, as they endeavour to supply data for all science and concerning trees. Progress has been rapid and at Arnold,, between Boston and Harvard, it is already seen that one locality cannot provide the variety in soil, temperature, and rainfall required by the great variety in tree species. The Arnold, with its huge library of forestry, will be the centre co-ordinating the work of sub-arbore-tums at the most favourable places such ascertain of the experiment stations. The Dominion, with its great variety in soil, rainfall and temperature, and with an official co-ordinating centre at Wellington, seems admirably suited for the long-range view above given, A. Rehder, the United States forester, says: “A country from which the forests have been destroyed becomes almost uninhabitable and worthless to mankind.”—Yours etc JAS. R. WILKINSON. Rangiora, January 14, 1947.
