 (3) their soil preferences, (4) the different races of each species, (5) the characters and proper- 

 ties of their woods, (6) their various products, (7) their cultural uses, and (8) their diseases

2231. House, Homer D, Wild flowers of New York. New York State Mus. Mem. 15. 

 362 p., 264 quadricolor photo pi., 35 fig. 1918 [1920].— The author has presented a treatment 

 of the wild flowers of New York similar in purpose and scope to Fuertes' "Birds of New York," 

 but while the colored plates of the latter were reproduced from original paintings by Fuertes, 

 in the present memoir all illustrations are from photographs, 35 species being shown in black 

 and white half tone and 364 species in natural colors by the quadricolor process. In this pro- 

 cess, from black and white photographs taken in the field, "four plates were made to print 

 respectively yellow, red, blue, and black, the latter to give shade and depth to picture. With 

 a Imniere photograph as guide (this having been taken in the field at same time as black and 

 white photos) the other 3 plates were etched down to print each its respective color in the cor- 

 rect proportion and position. These plates set up in press and printed in sequence, yellow, 

 blue, red, black, in perfect register give the quadricolor process picture." Of the 402 species 

 illustrated, nearly all are herbaceous, there being only a few shrubs (Ericaceae notably) and 

 no trees. Numerous foreign species now run wild in this terrritory are included. Eighty-
