PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 



Report of the Park Commissioners 

 of the city of Haverhill, Mass. Haver- 

 hill is to be congratulated in its 250 

 acres of heautiful park reservations, 

 its intelligent management by a pro- 

 gressive Board, and last but not least, 

 the genial superintendent, Henry Frost, 

 who has held the position from the es- 

 tablishment of the Department, and 

 whose portrait adorns the front page 

 of this report. 



The twenty-fourth annual report of 

 the Board of Park Commissioners of 

 Minneapolis, Minn., is received. This 

 is the first report of Theodore Wirth 

 as superintendent and, as is every- 

 thing that gentleman undertakes, is 

 thorough, practical and very interest- 

 ing. It is illustrated with a number 

 of views in the various reservations 

 and there are three large maps show- 

 ing contemplated improvements and 

 additions. 



Farmers' Bulletin 284 of the U. S. 

 Department of Agriculture, issued May 

 10, treats of Insects and F^ingous 

 Enemies of the Grape east of the Rocky 

 Mountains. It is an illustrated pam- 

 phlet of 48 pages, prepared by A. L. 

 Quaintance and Dr. C. L. Shear. It 

 states the nature of the insect enemies 

 and the means of controlling them, 

 then discusses the fungous parasites, 

 including treatment, and in conclusion 

 gives an account of spraying appara- 

 tus, with directions for applying spray 

 mixtures. 



"The Terrapin Scale" is the subject 

 of Circular No. 88. issued May 14, by 

 the Bureau of Entomology, U. S. Dept. 

 of Agriculture. From every State east 

 of the Mississippi River and several 

 States west, also from Canada this, 

 the mo^t generally injurious of all the 

 scales has been reported. It feeds on 

 a wide range of plants, including both 

 wild and cultivated trees and is a dan- 

 gerous pest which may be controlled 

 but never eradicated. The lime-sul- 

 phur wash, so effective against the San 

 •lose scale is said to be worthless for 

 treating the ten-apin scale, and the 

 kerosene emulsion has proved to be 

 the most effective remedy thus far.
