Sterling Morton's life, he decided he would like to have a tree planted in Crapo Park on Arbor Day in Morton's memory. He also asked the park custodian to supply some trees to the Arboretum to be planted in Morton's memory. After talking to Mr. Kammerer, Crapo Park can furnish two trees the Arboretum doesn't own, the native pecan and the giant island hickory nut. He also asked that the Morton Arboretum send Crapo Park some trees to be planted there on J. Sterling Morton's birthday in memory of his many visits to the park. He would be able to generate considerable publicity for the exchange. He plans to speak to Godshalk the next day who he believes will probably object to the plan.
