Type: Document
Description:Letter from C. E. Godshalk to Jean Morton Cudahy telling her that the evening classes are underway. They had a number of cancellations due to driving conditions, but easily filled the slots from the waiting list. Barrington (Mr. Steyermark and the Darlings) and Gary are the farthest towns people travel from. There are 50 landscaping projects. Mr. Nordine has 22 in his class, and Mrs. Watts has about 40 in each of her classes. Mrs. Watts is working on the outdoor glossary nature trail; it will be ready by spring. Godshalk is taking photos of Mrs. Watts' habitat groups. They will attempt to get pictures of the classes in action. Mrs. Meyers told him Mrs. Cudahy was interested in pricing for the plastic Mrs. Meyers gave her in the form of a placemat, so he enclosed the pricing figures. Mr. Jacques L. Legendre of the Gulf Stream Nursery in Wachapreague, Virginia, visited the Arboretum. He had met Lowell at the symposium in Williamsburg last spring, and he was eager to know more about the Arboretum. He seems much impressed with the Arboretum, and he has the same impression of the National Arboretum as does Godshalk. Miss Rasch received the $50 for Mrs. Cudahy's bulletin subscriptions. The January weather has been exceptionally mild, and the snow is rapidly disappearing. They moved quite a few pines in December and are waiting for colder weather to move others that have been dug. Due to the mild weather, he expects the men will be working in the woods most of the time.
