".Money in Grasses." Joseph Theodore 

 Barenbrug, Barenbrug Burgers & Co., 

 Publishers, Arnhem, Holland. — This is 

 a book of sterling value to anyone in- 

 terested in the grass seed indu-try 

 an.d th every gardener who has to do 

 with lawns and pleasure grounds. The 

 introduction to this American edition 

 is written by George ('. Watson, who is 

 tin- representative in this country of 

 Messrs. Barenbrug, Burgers & Co., and 

 we agree with Mr. Watson when he 

 remarks therein that "Joseph Theodore 

 Barenbiug has certainly put the ag- 

 gricultural interests and the world gen- 

 i rallj under a debl of gratitude for a 

 good work well done." The book eon- 

 tains over one hundred pages bound in 

 flexible cloth and there are appended 

 fifteen plates of the leading varii 

 of natural grasses printed in g I 

 One chapter is dei oti d to Arnhem and 

 it - connection with the grass-seed ex- 

 port trade and is illustrated with many 

 beautiful pictures of that quaint old 

 town whirh is the n'ntre of the gra-s- 

 seed industry of Europe. The use and 

 value of the natural grasses, how to 

 use the same in mixtures, how to lay 

 down permanent pastures, the use of 

 clovers and other leguminous plants 

 in connection with them are the sub- 

 jects of th'e general chapters, which 

 contain minute descriptions of all the 

 varieties with their characteristics 

 and many tables of mixtures for spe- 

 cial purposes together with valuable 

 infornrat.ion on the important subje t 

 of adulterations. The price of the 

 book is $1.00 postpaid, from the office 

 of HORTICULTURE.
