Tansley, university lecturer In Ilotany, Cambridge university, Eng land. This article -appeared In Tho Now Phytologlst, Vol. XIII. a botan ical Journal having a wide circula tion over tho entire botanical -world. Tho part of the article referring to Medford and Crater Lake will be of pnrtlculnr intorcst to the people of Itogue river valley. It reads as fol fel fol eows: Mod ford nnd Cm let; IaIco "During tho afternoon, evening and night of Septombcr 2nd, 1913, wo traveled southwards from Tacoma to Medford on tho Shasta Limited o fteh Southern Pacific, one of the crack trains of this line, tho excess fares for which had been paid by our kind hosts of the Commercial club nt Medford. Oregon, our next stopping place. Thus the hospitality of our Medford friends began beforo wo ever arrived at their city. It was impressed upon us that during the three days on which wo wero the guests of tho club not a single mem ber of tho party was to spend a cent, and Indeed It was almost imposslblo to do so. It Is as difficult as It would bo invidious to slnglo out the kind ness and hospitality shown us at any particular centre for special apprecln ton, but our treatment nt Medford and during the trip to Crater Lake would certainly bo hard to forgot. "After a rest and breakfast at tho Medford hotel, one of those luxurious and at tho same time slmplo estab lishments for which tho Far West Is Justly famed, wo started in seven automobiles most generously plac ed at our disposal and nearly all diivon by their owners on tho 83 mllo trip to Crater Lake. Medford is situated' in the centre of tho Rogue river valley, a district which has rec ently experienced rapid development and astounding prosperity, mainly from Its extensive pear orchards. From (ihicinl StroxniM "Much or tho uncultivated parts of tho valley are covored with a very stony soil supporting a growth of grasses such as Hordeum nnd ristida, and locally known as desert. Tlieso stony areas aro probably tho outwash from old glacial streams. Hero and there are lsloated trees of Quercus Garryana, a deciduous but rather a leathery leaved oak. Near tho be ginning of the fotthllls, an open scrub of 'chaparral' begins, with Ceanothus cordulatus dominant, Arctostaphylos glauca abundant and occasional treos of Quercus Garryana. As the foot hills are entored single treos of the yellow pine, Plnus ponderosa, appear among the chaparral, and these in crease In numbor but do not form anything like a closed woodland. The scrub thickens and other shrubs ap pear, such as tho beautiful Arbutus Mcnzlesll and various' herbs, such as tho aromatic Ereinocarpus setlgera nnd spoclos of Salvia. A marked feature of this open woodland is tho groat development of masses of lich en (Ubnea and others) and mosses which appear on the tree trunks and brunchos. These uro doubtless due to thp wet and comparatively mild winters of tho district, and soon increases in abundance, "At a uomewhat higher altitude (about 2500 feet) tho Douglas Fir (Psoudotsugu mucronata) appears DoxcrllH's Hegioiui Ilotany chapnrruj at the same tlmo disap pearing, Tho Douglas Fir does not, however, dominate the forests as it dons in tho Rockies or in the north ern Cascades.
