 rose, wliich has l)een variously tailed Balduin, Helen Gould, Red Kaiserin, etc., has

Perfume plants {Queensland Ayr. Jour., 9 {1901), No. 5, pp. 492-494). — Extract 

 from a paper by J. Chapelle, read at the Sixth International Agricultural Congress, 

 held at Paris in July, 1900. Methods of hot and cold extraction of the i^erfume and 

 essential oils of plants are noted, as well as the present condition of the cultivation of 

 scent plants and of the manufacture of essential oils. 



FORESTRY. 



Forest work in the States {Forestry and Irriy., 8 {1902), No. 4, pp. 149, 150). — 

 A brief review is given of the forestry work being conducted in the different States 

 of the Union. Thus far the subject of forestry has received legislative recognition in 

 18 States, and at present forestry is being actively pursued in 15 States, as follows: 

 Connecticut, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New 

 Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, West 

 Virginia, and Wisconsin. 



Forests, Arbor Days, and manuring- forest trees, F. E. H. W. Krichauff 

 {Jour. Roy. ILnt. Soc. [Lomlori], 26 {1902), No. 4, pp. 790-794).— A. discussion is 

 given of the forest area and production of the principal countries of Eurojje and 

 America, and the practice of Arbor Day planting is commended. Compiled notes 

 are also given upon the value of the use of various fertilizers in forest plantings. 

 The use of fertilizers is particularly commended in nurseries. Where fertilizers are 

 applied to single trees, it is said they should not ])e used in large quantities or with- 

 out being well mixed with the soil. 



Teaching forestry at Berea College, S. C. Mason {Forestry and Irriy., S {190S) , 

 No. 4, pp. 168-171, fiys. 4) . — A brief outline is given of the course of instruction 

 offered at Berea College, in central Kentucky, and the management of the college 

 forest reserve is described. 



The disabilities attaching to the planting of woods, G. Cadell ( Trans. High- 

 land and Ayr. Sac. Scotland, 5. ser., 14 {1902), pp. <S-i5).— Attention is called to a 

 number of the factors which tend to make the planting of forests in Great Britain 

 unprofitable. Among the factors mentioned are the increased cost of planting, taxa- 

 tion, the low quality of home-grown timber, scarcity of trained woodsmen, cost of 

 transportation, etc. 



Forest trees for calcareous soils, P. Mouillefert {Jour. Ayr. Prat., n. ser., 3 

 {1902), No. 19, pp. 601, 602).— Attention is called to the value of a number of trees 

 and shrubs for planting in calcareous soils. The rate of growth of a number of these 

 species is given, as well as descriptions of the trees and suggestions for their utiliza- 

 tion. Among those mentioned are larches, spruces, yew, Virginia junij^er, l)eecli, 

 dogwood, cherries, hazel nuts, hornbeam, etc. 



Exotic conifers, their timber and value as an investment, D. F. Mackenzie 

 ( Trans. Iliyland and Ayr. Soc. Scotland, 5. ser., 14 {1902), pp. 48-63) .-After review- 

 ing the forest conditions of Great Britain and commenting upon the rate of growth 

 and yield of a number of exotic conifers, the author describes in considerable detail 

 about 2 dozen species of trees, comparing them with the Scotch fir taken as a stand- 

 ard. The values given are the results of the measurements made of a large number 

 of trees, and, as far as possible, show the true average rate of growth aiid comparative 

 value. In general, the timber of tlie exotic trees is considered equal if not superior
