Letter from Roy Nordine to Jean Cudahy documenting his trip to New York, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. He toured the parks in Rochester, New York, also seeing their greenhouses, herbarium, label department, and pinetum. He was hosted by Mr. Pitkin and Mr. Horsey. In Boston, Dr. Merrill and Dr. Wyman hosted him. Nordine used their records and maps to chart his collecting trip. He collected 103 varieties of plant material. He attended the dinner commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the New England Botanical Club. He next visited the New York Botanical Garden but was unable to visit the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. He moved on to Philadelphia to meet with Mr. Jenkins of the Hemlock Arboretum. He visited the Arthur Hoyt Scott Horticultural Foundation, the arboretum on Swarthmore College's grounds. Gardener Harry Woods showed him around. He collected fine specimens there. He visited Jenkins' private estate to see his collection of hemlocks. The Signers Walk is a walk on Jenkins' estate made with stones from the former homes of all but four of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence. He visited the Morris Arboretum which is affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania where Mr. Skinner showed him around. In the near future the Arboretum will be able to exchange plant material with them. Aside from the plant material collected, he made notes about plants the Arboretum should have, and he believes the personal connections he made on his trip will prove invaluable in future plant trades. He and Mrs. Nordine thanked Mrs. Cudahy for the tray they received as a Christmas present from her.
