Excerpt from The Planting and Care of Shade Trees The reader is reminded that none of the papers pretends to be exhaustive of its subject; each deals in the briefest possible way with the things that concern the trees of the State, and aims to tell what to avoid as well as what must be done. The bulletin will serve as a manual to those who are accustomed to working with trees, and will guide those who seek to travel an unknown, though it may be an attractive, path. More detailed information will be found in the books listed on page 123, though for any important work tree owners are advised to seek the assistance of a reputable tree planter, tree doctor, arborist or forester. The Agricultural Experiment Station and the Forest Com mission have lists of such and will furnish them upon request. Finance Both offices are prepared to give advice bv md' mail on any matter relating to trees, and, when necessary, either will have a competent man make an ex amination and report. Any municipal body, as a shade tree commission, or the managers of a public institution, will be aided without charge; individuals will ordinarily be re quired to pay the consultant's expenses, but not his salary.
