The planting and care of shade trees

The first two of this series of papers, with one on Fungi of Native and Shade Trees, by Dr. Byron D. Halsted, were originally published in the report of the Forest Park Reservation Commission of New Jersey for 1908. Appreciative demands having exhausted the edition, Mr. Charles Lathrop Pack, a member of the Forest Commission, and a well known pioneer in Forest Conservation, generously offered to defray the cost of a new issue. This offer was accepted and the Forest Commission has caused two of the papers to be thoroughly revised and a new one dealing with tree diseases to be prepared by the recently appointed State Plant Pathologist. The State is committed to the policy of protecting, improving and increasing the number of its shade trees. This bulletin is published under the direction of the Forest Park Reservation Commission with the co-operation of the Trustees of the State Agricultural Experiment Station. Each paper is by an acknowledged authority in his line
