ARNOLD ARBORETUM. Lots of new Crataegus everywhere and I am badly demoralized a bout them. Among other things I am going
to show you our new Texas Gleditschia and a supposed new Hickory, and we are bound to find a lot of other things we do not

indeed while you were so far away. John Muir, Esq. Martinez, Cal. 02603
