Recently there npepared a very In
teresting article covering tho Inter
national PlDtogeographlc excursion
in America written by Professor A.
G. 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

however, dominate the forests as it
dons in tho Rockies or in the north
