Abstract
THE German Arboricultural Society came into existence in the year 1892, and now has a membership of 1800, of whom 120 attended its annual meeting in August, 1908, in Alsace Lorraine; Strassburg and Colmar being its headquarters. The president is Count Schwerin, who is ably helped by the secretary, L. Beissner, the conifer expert. The report just issued gives a detailed account of the meeting. The first three days were devoted to the reading of papers now published. Then followed visits to private parks, where many fine exotic and native trees, some of which are illustrated in the report, were seen. Each member, who was himself listed and conspicuously numbered, received a numbered list of the trees worthy of note in each centre visited. The list gave the name, girth, height, and age of each tree, with further remarks in some cases.
