THE NEW SYMBOL. 

 By Jeanne Judson. 

 "Hope springs eternal in the liuman 

 breast" 

 The holly holds its green throughout 

 the year, 

 And through the world's great travail, 

 East and West 

 Still hope, and hoping, conquer fear. 



These are old Christmas symbols, 

 hallowed, blest. 

 Shining through years gone by with 

 brilliance white 

 Now a new symbol greets the Holy 

 Guest, 

 The small Red Cross of Christmas 

 sheds its light. 



On battlefields, in cities desolate — 



Villages, sad with their new crucified. 

 The victims of the Barb'rous hymn of 

 hate — 

 It shines, and cries again "They have 

 not died." 



Wee childish hands have held the cross 

 on high, 

 Symbol of that new day for which 

 we wait, 

 It's red shines with the dawn light in 

 the sky, 

 It's white the love divine that con- 

 quers hate. 



PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 



The following review of Professor 

 Trelease's new volume appeared in 

 last week's issue of Horticultpre but 

 unfortunately in such a mixed up con- 

 dition owing to a disarrangement of 

 the type lines that we take opportun- 

 ity to repeat it here in proper shape: 



Winter Botany, by William Tre- 

 lease. Professor of Botany in the Uni- 

 versity of Illinois. — Professor Tre- 

 lease has given us a new and a very 

 useful book, which will be widely wel- 

 comed by the many people who are in- 

 terested in trees and shrubs and will 

 be delighted to possess a sure means 

 through which the woody plants may 

 be recognized in winter, sometimes 



more certainly than wlien in flower. 

 The undertaking has been put through 

 with Professor Trelease's well-known 

 thoroughness and attention to detail 

 and nothing of its completeness In its 

 field has been published before. It Is 

 a companion volume to the author's 

 Plant Materials for Decorative Gar- 

 dening, previously published, of con- 

 venient size for carrying in the pock- 

 et and is on a corresponding plan as to 

 keys and descriptions. The purpose of 

 the volume, naming our common trees 

 and shrubs when without foliage In- 

 volves a close accounting for small dif- 

 ferences between small parts, and so 

 each genera Is illustrated by detail 

 drawings showing twig, bud scar, pith, 

 etc., enlarged uniformly to three di- 

 ameters. The key to the genera which 

 forms the first chapter will be found 

 simple, direct and conclusive and by 

 the further use of the keys to species, 

 systematically arranged under each 

 genus, natives and introduced species, 

 as well as genera may be readily 

 named in nearly every case. 



Although conifers are excluded, the 

 first volume being sufficiently service- 

 able for their identification at any sea- 

 son of the year, the present volume 

 deals with 326 genera belonging to 

 93 families and although species and 

 varieties are not differentiated to the 

 same extent as in the earlier volume, 

 the keys lead to the names of about 

 nOO such forms. 



Horticulture can supply copies of 

 this book at the publisher's orice of 

 $2.50 post paid.
