 ing articles on Water Gardens, The 

 Red Sunflower, Angraecum sesquipe- 

 dale and other timely topics. 



The Report of the Commissioners of 

 Rockford Park District, Rockford, III., 

 for 1912. has been received. The 

 book is handsomely illustrated with 

 half-tone views, etc., and shows that 

 Rockford has a park system of which 

 her citizens have a right to feel proud. 



American Carnation Society — Pro- 

 ceedings of the Twenty-second An- 

 nual Meeting, held in New York, N. 

 Y.. April S-10, 1913. Contains the 

 usual interesting reports, list of mem- 

 bers, etc., and, as a frontispiece a very 

 fine portrait of President Phil. Breit- 

 meyer. 



New York State College of Agricul- 

 ture, Ithaca, N. Y. The "Announcer" 

 for July contains some interesting in- 

 formation concerning the Department 

 of Floriculture, its equipment and work. 

 The "Announcer" is published for 

 the purpose of acquainting the people 

 of the state with the kinds of work 

 that are in progress at the State Col- 

 lege of Agriculture. It announces the 

 investigations, extension enterprises 

 on farms and with the people, forth- 

 coming bulletins, reading-courses, lo- 

 cal schools, and other events and pro- 

 grams of which the public should have 

 knowledge and which are not an- 

 nounced in the usual publications of 

 the college. Any resident of the state 

 may be placed on the mailing-list to 

 receive the "Announcer," on request, 

 so far as the size of the editions will 

 allow. 



Word that the annual recreation pe- 

 riod is on and the lighter things of 

 life particularly appeal, some pleasant 

 reading for the leisure hours in the 

 country or at the seaside is very ac- 

 ceptable. L. C. Page & Co., the Bos- 

 ton publishers, have turned out some 

 excellent summer fiction in which all 

 ages are provided for and. as in all 

 the publications emanating from this 

 house a healthy tone and clean senti- 

 ment as well as literary excellence 

 characterizes each book. 



The Blossom Shop, a story of the 

 South, by Isla May Mullins, is a most 

 delicious story — one that when you 

 start to read it you want to keep on 

 to the close. Price $1.00. 



Peggy RajTnond's Vacation, by Har- 

 riett Lummus Smith, is another en- 

 grossing' story that the young ladies 

 will especially enjoy. A party of girls 

 spending summer in a country house 

 and their experiences, amusing or 

 thrilling, furnish the theme and intro- 

 duce the reader once more to The 



Girls of Friendly Terrace. Price $1.50. 



The boys are not forgotten either 

 and The Pioneer Boys of the Missis- 

 sippi, by Harrison Adams may be re- 

 lied on to hold down the liveliest of 

 them. It is teeming with hair-breadth 

 escapes and thrilling adventure with 

 wild animals and crafty Indians and 

 has the merit further of accuracy of 

 conditions, environment and historical 

 reference. 345 pages, price $1.50 net. 



Our Little Austrian Cousin, by Flor- 

 ence E. Mendel, and Our Little Bul- 

 garian Cousin, by Clara Vostrovsky 

 Winlow, while well adapted to the 

 young reader will also be found in- 

 teresting and instructive by those who 

 are older, in their portrayal of cus- 

 toms and conditions as found in those 

 far off countries. These books are 

 60 cents each, handsomely bound and 

 illustrated. 



For the little ones there are Jenny's 

 Bird House, by Lillie Fuller Merriam 

 and Little Rhymes, by Nell Thornton, 

 both well adapted to engross and 

 amuse the six and eight-year-olds. The 

 latter has quaint dedication verses by 

 Glenn McClaughry and type and illus- 

 trations in two colors. Price 50c. 



All of the foregoing just out may be 

 procured from L. C. Page & Co., 53 

 Beacon street, Boston.
