PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 



American Gladiolus Society; Bul- 

 letin Number 7, just issued, contains 

 some very Interesting original com- 

 munications and other matter of value 

 to the gladiolus growers. A com- 

 mendable innovation is the designation 

 by a letter before each name in the list 

 of members of the society, whether it 

 represents a professional grower or an 

 amateur. 



Iowa Horticultural Society; Trans- 

 actions for 1912. Wesley Greene of 

 Davenport, who has been a long time 

 secretary of the Iowa State Society, 

 knows how to get out a good report 

 and this is one. It is very compre- 

 hensive, profusely illustrated with 

 handsome full-page plates, and all de- 

 partments of horticulture are well cov- 

 ered in its 4S2 pages.

 nual Convention of the American As- 

 sociation of Park Superintendents. —

 lent papers and instructive discus- 

 sions it includes obituary notes on the

 Perry, also portraits of past and pres- 

 ent officials of the Association. 



The German Kail Works have just 

 issued a neat little illustrated pamph- 

 let entitled "Fertilizing Peaches." 

 This is a useful and instructive pro- 

 duction for tHe culturist. The peach 

 industry is one of great importance 

 and exact knowledge as to its plant 

 food requirements such as this little 

 book imparts is of great value. Soils, 

 potash in its relation to peach grow- 

 ing, nitrogen, phosphoric acid, the ap- 

 plication of fertilizers and results of 

 their proper use are topics all fully 

 covered. 



The Carnation Year Book, 1913, —

 cial organ of the society which under 

 the enthusiastic guidance of J. S. 

 Brunton, W. B. Wallace. T. A. Weston, 

 the late Hayward Mathias and others, 

 has done so much for the popularity of 

 the carnation in Great Britain. The 

 book contains much matter of inter- 

 est even to American carnationists be- 

 tween whose society and the British 

 Society there exists a strong bond of 

 fraternal feeling.
