PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 



Pronunciation of Plant Names. Pub- 

 lished by The Gardeners' Chronicle, 

 Ltd., London, England. This little 

 volume is reprinted from the list o£ 

 generic names prepared originally by 

 the Rev. C. Butler, M. A., and pub- 

 lished in the Gardeners' Chronicle in 

 1908. Perusing it we find that it does 

 not follow the Nicholson pronuncia- 

 tions as given in the Dictionary of 

 Gardening and indeed, where Nichol- 

 son has attempted to introduce pro- 

 nunciations radically different from 

 common usage the list now before us 

 adheres to the popular pronunciation 

 in a majority of cases. The volume is 

 one which every gardener and florist 

 should have at all times conveniently 

 at hand. The Gai-deners' Chronicle 

 has put the craft under obligation to 

 it for providing this useful informa- 

 tion in so compact and convenient a 

 form. The booli; is neatly bound in 

 cloth and can be supplied from the 



office of Horticulture, post paid, 



at 50 cents per copy. 



cators of world-wide repute, and a 

 further list of 181 is given of those 

 who have assisted in reading proof 

 and in other ways. The agricultural 

 wealth of North America, The histori- 

 cal evolution of North American agri- 

 culture, Phases of the agricultural 

 shift. The natural resources of agri- 

 culture. Law and labor. Business or- 

 ganizations in agriculture, Social and 

 service association. Education by 

 means of agriculture. Governmental 



and legal aid and control are the broad 

 divisions under which the topics are 

 classed. Eighty pages are devoted to 

 biographical slietches of men eminent 

 in the history and development of 

 agriculture and rural life in America. 

 Many portraits are here given and 

 there are 25 full page half-tones as 

 well as numerous figures interspersed 

 throughout the book, which contains 

 650 pages, octavo. 

 We think it can be stated without 



Cyclopedia of American Agriculture, 

 by L. H. Bailey. Volume IV., Farm 

 and Community. Published by the Mac- 

 Alillan Company, New York. This is 

 the last volume of the series. Like its 

 predecessors it is colossal in its scope 

 and to give any adequate idea of the 

 contents or even an outline of the 

 broad topics treated in the brief space 

 of a newspaper notice is an impossi- 

 bility. Dr. Bailey has drawn upon a 

 wide list of helpers in the work, no 

 less than 137 contributors to this 

 volume alone being listed, many of 

 them writers, investigators and edu-
