1959/05/22: Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk (3.105057)
Date: May 22 1959Creator: Morton, Sterling
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk. He will try to read the reports from Mr. Keith and Mr. Longenecker during the week. He is busy with packing and moving from Lake Forest. The locusts in front of the Morton Salt Building have survived the winter in planters and they should establish well for the future. The mice ate the Euonymus vegetus in Lake Forest, but it shows signs of coming back. When Lester comes on June 1 to pick up landscape equipment, Morton will also send the 1917 motion picture projector and scenes from China that he took. He has learned a lot about photography since then, but they show scenes and costumes that have long ago disappeared. He will teach someone how to operate the projector.

Description:Letter from C. E. Godshalk to Sterling Morton stating the plans are about done for the Arbordale plantings. The plans will be reviewed by Professor Keith (Head of the Landscape Department, University of Illinois) and Professor Longenecker (Head of the Landscape Department, University of Wisconsin). Mr. Ward sent out drawings for the planned changes to the terrace. Godshalk is doubtful of the plan; Mrs. Zurcher will come out to the Arboretum to see it when she returns from Colorado. Work on Route 53 should begin in April. Godshalk has started staking out the shrub plantings around Arbor Lake. He is meeting with Mr. Kress to see how much planting the Arboretum will be allowed to do along the toll road.

1959/05/20: C. E. Godshalk to Sterling Morton (3.86065)
Date: May 20 1959Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from C. E. Godshalk to Sterling Morton clarifying that in the recent reports from Messers Keith and Longenecker that many of the ideas for the materials used in Arbordale were from Lowell's bulletins and plant material lectures rather than Lowell taking those ideas from Arbordale. Tony did a lot of the research and study on the plant groupings. Generally the reports made good points. Arboretum staff looked at the locusts in front of the Morton Salt Building; they will need to be cut back severely. They will also replace the Euonymus vegetus on the terrace at the same time.
