Directors of the Botanical Gardens on the list are very likely potential subscribers. 3) He is in favor of placing "Garden Glories" on the free list; it should bring in benefits in exchange. 4) Responding to a suggestion that the topics in the Bulletin be geared more to home gardeners, he asks her to send out a brief survey asking subscribers what topics are of interest to them. He sees his potential audience to include amateur gardeners, foresters, landscape architects, nurserymen, conifer enthusiasts, etc. 4) Some objections to the inclusion of annual growth reports on forestry plots and synopses of various plant groups. In deference to Mr. Morton's aims for the Arboretum, these will continue to be included. He got a commendation from a nurseryman on the two recent issues on Viburnums. 5) He and Clarence Godshalk will be making some changes to future issues, including having photographs. 6) They are all getting settled in the new building. He will be available on Sunday to give her a tour.

Description:Letter from Clarence Godshalk to Lowell Kammerer stating that spring has come, birds are here; spring work will start much earlier this year. After indecision about privet hedge in Hedge Garden, have now decided to cut the entire hedge to the ground to start over. If growth too small by summer's end, we will replace it with another hedge.. Mr. Nordine and I have made a surplus list for many lilacs, and will keep one of each kind of lilac to be sure those planted are well-established.
Our attendance has been good on Sundays but we will probably not open until the first of April. In announcing our classes, we have specified an enrollment of twenty-five members, otherwise no class. Because of talk of only two gallons with A coupons, classes may be poorly attended. He also goes into other personal details.

Description:Letter from Clarence E. Godshalk to E. Lowell Kammerer. April has been snowy and rainy so spring planting is delayed. They were able to get raking done and fertilizing the roots of the hedges. Thornhill Building was opened after the floors were waxed yesterday. Carroll Construction Company took up and reset some stones. Mrs. Watts will have 2 full gardening classes after O.P.A. has allowed extra gas for Chicago teachers to drive out if there are 5 people per car. She has fixed up some interactive displays of birds in the bird cases that came with the stuffed bird collection last fall. They have set up a new display of the Kodachrome slides, originally to display the slides from the photography competition, but now of use for Arboretum slides. There were fewer visitors to the Administration Building, partly because of bad weather, but also because "the A coupons have been cut in value." Along the walk leading to Thornhill they put in lines of 4 inch drain tiles hopefully to prevent a repeat of last years loss of Rhododendrons and Azaleas.
