1945/02/26: C. E. Godshalk to L. C. Gottschalk (3.109456)
Date: February 26 1945Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from C. E. Godshalk to L. C. Gottschalk stating they have used silt collected from their lake for top dressing lawns and vegetable gardens as well as grading around the Arboretum. They have not made any comparative studies, but they had to add sand to the vegetable gardens as the silt made the ground too sticky and difficult to work. After the sand was added, they had good results. Godshalk has asked their propagator, Mr. Nordine, to run some tests with plants in the greenhouse and take measurements to see what results he can get using lake sediment. He will share the results with Gottschalk when they are available.
