Circulars have been published by the management of the Arnold Arboretum, asking for subscriptions to the now insufficient endowment fund. They state the aim of the Arboretum and tell of the work already accomplished in spreading the knowledge of the silva of our country. The Arboretum plant is valued at about $3,000,000, and yet its yearly income is barely $7,000.
