E. H. Wilson of Arnold Arboretum to Speak on "Forests in China."

Mr. E. H. Wilson of the Arnold Arboretum will give an illustrated lecture on "Forests in China" before the Forestry Club in Pierce 110 this evening at 8 o'clock. Mr. Wilson's life work has been devoted to enriching the tree and shrub-life of the country. He has made several expeditions to China, exploring the unknown forests of the interior in quest of new specimens, and he has succeeded in obtaining many valuable species which are likely to prove of commercial benefit to New England. Recently Mr. Wilson was presented with the Victorian Medal by the Royal Horticultural Society of Great Britain for distinguished services in horticulture and arboriculture.
