fear of contradiction tliat no work 

 hitherto published has contained so 

 much, so enlightening and so interest- 

 ing information on the gi-eat economic, 

 social and humanitarian topics in- 

 separably connected with and depend- 

 ent upon the mighty industry which 

 we call American agriculture. The 

 previous volumes have covered the 

 quesiions one must consider in the 

 choice, layout and organization of a 

 farm, practical reviews of the crop 

 products of the farm and a discussion 

 of the animal products. All these are 

 of the highest value lo the agricul- 

 turist and in their usefulness are prac- 

 tically inseparable but the volume now 

 issued is really perfect in itself and is 

 full of information of much interest and 

 value to many to whom the previous 

 volumes would not appeal directly. It 

 will be no mistake, therefore, for such 

 to purchase Volume IV. as an inde- 

 pendent work, complete in itself. The 

 book can be supplied from the office of 

 HOUTICULTURE at publisher's price, 

 $5.00 net. 



The annual Report of the U. S. De- 

 partment of Agriculture for year end- 

 ing June 30, 1908, has been issued. It 

 is a volume of SG2 pages filled with 

 information on all topics relating to 

 agriculture and so diversified that th-? 

 reader, whoever he may be, and where- 

 ever his interest may lie, is sure to 

 find something in it directly appli- 

 cable to his own needs. The different 

 bureaus and divisions are all repre- 

 sented by their special reports. It is 

 interesting to learn from the report oi 

 the Chief of the Bureau of Plant In- 

 dustry that the work of establishing 

 the Easter lily bulb industry in south- 

 western California has made rapid 

 and encouraging progress during 

 the past year. One firm has three 

 acres in cultivation and expect to 

 have from fifteen to twenty acres 

 during the coming season. It has been 

 found that a marketable bulb can be 

 raised in California in one year from

 The report, of Dr. Britton, Director-in- 

 Chief, shows that noteworthy progress

 development of all departments of the 

 Garden. The collections of living 

 plants, herbarium specimens and boolcs 

 have been much increased. A part of 

 the second series of public conserva- 

 tories has been completed. The work 

 of collecting plants in Tropical Amer-

 tific meetings, etc., has been carried 

 on with gratifying results.
