1954/02/02: Clarence E. Godshalk to Sterling Morton (3.101910)
Date: February 2 1954Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Clarence E. Godshalk to Sterling Morton. He further explains the plans for Research Projects and the numbering framework they established to index the projects. It was purposely very broad to accommodate future ideas and plans. He cites examples, hinting at the possible future need for a plant pathologist on staff. They are experimenting with various rates of root cutting and girdling on ash, red oaks, and white oaks, also factoring in a variety of sizes of new holes for transplanting. He looks forward to hearing from Mr. Drury about California tree research. He details their plans for a small Field Day Project to encompass the Chicago area. Winter classes are being taught by Mrs. Watts, Nordine, Kammerer, Tyznik and Godshalk, with 175 attendees on Monday. Using Arboretum men, they planted 11 pine trees at his Lake Forest property, with more planned for Spring. Ted Smith asked for $3.50 for the planting work. A temporary workroom for Crowley and Tyznik was created at South Farm. Godshalk would like to purchase for his Wisconsin cabin, the 1929 Ford, and a small water heater and the heatilator that were salvaged from the old cottage in the bird sanctuary.

1954/02/17: C. E. Godshalk to Sterling Morton (3.84470)
Date: February 17 1954Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from C. E. Godshalk to Sterling Morton saying he will take a look at the James King Home for men, then write to Mr. McClave. Due to the mild weather they have been getting, they may be able to do some planting in sod areas. Tyznik, Crowley and Godshalk have started a research project at the old Duel Farm to show people how they can handle woodland properties—keeping one naturalistic, the other one semi-natural. He describes the land around his vacation home in Wisconsin. He looks forward to getting away from people for a while and relax there. He believes Morton covered the subject very well for the proposed booklet. Mrs. Cudahy and the Simonds children believe that the general plan of the Arboretum was worked out by Mr. Simonds. However, Godshalk says not much of the present Arboretum layout is related to Simonds’ original plan. He is enclosing a plan with the things Simonds planned marked in red. Godshalk recalls the spring of 1922 when Simonds shipped 138, 000 plants to the Arboretum without a single planting plan to work with. Simonds plans were for a beautiful park, not an Arboretum. Teuscher, Kammerer and Godshalk all had more to do with the present day Arboretum layout than did Simonds. Godshalk has kept an accurate diary of the Arboretum’s development. Simonds was ultimately fired by Joy Morton.
