1949/12/30: [John Wister] to Jean Morton Cudahy (3.85930)
Date: December 30 1949Creator: Wister, Dr. John C.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from [John Wister] to Jean Morton Cudahy asking her, and the Morton Arboretum, to help preserve a beautiful strip of the New Jersey coast line from development, a conservation project being undertaken by Dr. George H. Shull of Princeton and Dr. Richard Pough of the Natural History Museum of New York. It is in a general way a coastal version of the pine barrens. John Fogg of the University of Pennsylvania botany department is also interested in the project. Dr. Robbia [Robbins] and Dr. Avery of the New York and Brooklyn Botanical Gardens have officially agreed to help in any way they could. Wister believes Mrs. Cudahy's support will help in showing the national significance of the place, so he is giving her name to Dr. Shull and hopes she will consider the matter favorably.

Type: Document
Description:Letter from Clarence E. Godshalk to Jean M. Cudahy. Cool and rainy days have helped new plantings to get established. E. L. Kammerer noticed many visitors and cars on Sunday. Traffic is now one-way with new uniform signage. They need to limit the enrollment in Mrs. Watts classes. Her exhibit of Butterflies, Snakes and Birds in Thornhill is an attraction. Mr. Nordine went to Omaha and stopped to see Mr. DenBoer in Des Moines. Since the American Association of Botanical Gardens and Arboretums separated from the American Institute of Park Executives there's been little activity. He suggests three other organizations that they consider joining. Carl Fenninger of Tyler Arboretum and John Wister are in favor of joining the American Horticultural Council. He visited Mark Morton.
