 137 p. Williams & Wilkins Co.: Baltimore, 1921. — A glossary of botanical terms and plant 

 names in 2 alphabets, French-English and German-English. The German list is much more 

 complete than the French, which covers only 10 pages as compared with 121 pages of the Ger- 

 man. The latter includes common names of plants, followed by both the English common 

 name and the scientific name. The French list includes no plant names. — The preface states 

 that the editors have not attempted a complete compilation of French and German terms, 

 but have aimed to produce a practical handbook with blank pages interleaved for inserting 

 additions. It should be of service to users of foreign botanical literature, as it contains defini- 

 tions of terms not found in the usual French and German dictionaries. — E. R. Oherly.

 [Illustrated address delivered before the Botanical Society of Washington, D. C] — The author 

 pleads for the perpetuation of the native flora by avoiding thoughtless destruction or commer- 

 cial exploitation. He suggests that this be accomplished by enlisting the cooperation of 

 the public through the agency of schools, churches, etc., rather than through legislation. 

 Wild-life gardens and house gardens are also suggested. — C. J. Lyon.
