MORE EXPLICIT INFORMATION 



NEEDED. 

 Editor HORTICULTURE: 



In a late issue of HORTICULTURE 

 I note Mr. Hatfield's article on the 

 Dosoris evergreens which I have read 

 with great delight and benefit. To one 

 living in a cold and uncertain climate 

 that article conveys an immense 

 amount of practical information, such 

 information indeed as I find most diffi- 

 cult to get "from the books." It is 

 exceedingly discouraging to a lover 

 of shrubs and trees to find that a 

 variety whose beauty, symmetry, habit 

 of growth and other features have 

 aroused his admiration and for which 

 he has paid good money, and given 

 good time and attention in its plant- 

 ing and care, at the close of its first 

 winter is no more, all — all is gone; 

 that it was not hardy and could not 

 withstand tho severities of the climate. 

 Too little attention to this feature is 

 given by dealers, nurserymen and 

 scribes. Too many written articles, 

 otherwise pleasing and instructive, are 

 signally deficient on this point; yes, 

 even more than that, are almost blam- 

 able for not plainly stating, "not re- 

 liably hardy" or words to that effect. 



HORTICULTURE has been particu- 

 larly fortunate in securing such an 

 article as Mr. Hatfield's to follow the 

 exceedingly instructive and entertain- 

 ing papers of Mr. Hans. I trust that 

 many more are yet to come.

PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 



Wm. H. Moon Co., Morrisville, Pa.— 

 Horticultural Art Book. Tells of 

 Moon's trees. Well filled with lovely 

 half-tone views and text matter such 

 as the tree enthusiast delights in pe- 

 rusing. 



Report of Jens Jensen, landscape 

 architect and general superintendent; 

 report of committee of the whole, re- 

 garding the donation of a site in Gar- 

 field Park and the appropriation of 

 $100,000 for the erection of a museum 

 to house the Gunther collection of war 

 relics; report of special meeting of 

 West Chicago Park Commissioners. 



The illustrated catalogue of P. W. 

 Kelsey, recently to hand, is something 

 more than a catalogue; it is in fact a 

 reliable hand book for ready reference 

 wherever trustworthy information on 

 trees and shrub topics is desired. 

 Both botanical and common names are 

 given in the descriptions, and the al- 

 phabetical index is a great conveni- 

 ence; the height each variety attains 

 at maturity is also a valuable feature. 

 Another useful department is the se- 

 lection of trained fruit trees and grape- 

 vines for vineries.
