PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 



The French Garden, by C. D. McKay, 

 F. R. H. S.— This litle book of sixty- 

 two pages, neatly bound in cloth and 

 with nine full-page interesting half- 

 tone illustrations, seeks to enlighten 

 English market gardeners on the 

 methods pursued by their fellow culti- 

 vators across the channel. For long 

 there has been a demand in England 

 for French "Primeurs" because they 

 appeared in the markets at seasons 

 when young vegetables of home pro- 

 duction did not exist. The aim of the 

 writer is to show how by the use of 

 hot beds and bell glasses or "cloches" 

 a supply of young vegetables and fresh 

 salads may be grown in England the 

 year round, and the vast sums annually 

 sent to France in payment of such 

 delicacies secured hereafter to the Eng- 

 lish producer. Mr. McKay's book is far 

 from being a complete manual of the 

 French garden, yet it says enough 

 to stimulate farther inquiry, and we 

 believe its mishion in arousing in- 

 terest in the cultural methods of the 

 French will be successful.

McHutchison & Co., New York, are

THE UBIQUITOUS BROWN TAIL. 



We learn from the columns of a con- 

 temporary that a host of white moths 

 has visited New York during the past 

 week, and that "in the hope of destroy- 

 ing them before they lay their eggs 

 the park department has resorted to 

 vigorous spraying of the trees where 

 they most abound.'' We trust the park 

 department of the Metropolis knows 

 better than to spray trees, expecting 

 this to have any effect on flying moths. 



Concerning the invasion of brown- 

 tail moths in Halifax, N. S., recently- 

 noted in this paper, Halifax papers 

 say that although the moths are great- 

 er in numbers rhan any arrival of pests 

 for some time, the agricultural authori- 

 they have little fear of any dangerous 

 infestation, because of the remarkable 

 feature that practically all of the 

 moths are males, an examination of 

 S00 disclosing not a single female.
