Letter from C. E. Godshalk to Joy Morton saying most of the snow from the blizzard and light snowfalls is gone, moistening the soil--too moist for planting. They fixed up the Modern Garden exhibit for Mrs. Morton's garden club at the Merchandise Mart. It was awarded a 1st prize ribbon. Godshalk believes that the Arboretum should have an exhibit there next year to familiarize the public with their work. He details Van Gemert's work in the propagating house. He declined Mr. Bixby's offer of more nut trees; he told him they would prefer scions. Kerth is not writing as there is nothing new to report. Godshalk goes on to give a brief update on the farms. Everyone at the Arboretum has taken a great interest in the new ducks and geese on the property. When Morton visits Kew Gardens, Godshalk asks that he request scions and cuttings of their newest trees and shrubs be sent to the Arboretum. He believes Morton will be pleased with the appearance of the place when he returns. He thanks Mrs. Morton for the cards she sent to the family and himself.
