The Arboretum, at the Agricultural Grounds at Washington, just now is very interesting, the many hun-Ireds of trees and shrubs being in nearly full foliage. Farmers who wish to identify or find a name for any new or curious tree or shrub, which they happen to find on their farms, can do so by a walk in the Arboretum.
