trailing arbutus — the "mayflower'' of 

 the Pilgrims? There is a great deal 

 to be said for the arbutus as a State 

 emblem; but alas! that also has a re- 

 cumbent habit. It spends its lite flat on 

 the ground. If sturdiness and an up- 

 standing Lablt are required in a State 

 emblem, the arbutus will not do any 

 better than the pond lily. 



The fact is that the State flower 

 business never makes any progress to- 

 ward that general popular agreement, 

 that habitual and historical prefer- 

 ence, which is about the only thing 

 that can make an emblem. There is 

 no shamrock-passion among the people. 

 We have no such heart-hunger toward 

 any flowor or vegetable as the Scotch 

 seem to have toward the thistle. 



It Is probable that the State flower, 

 the chosen and loved emblem of the 

 people of Massachusetts, will have to 

 wait in the vestibule of legislation un- 

 til we find out by other means than 

 Inquiries of legislative committees and 

 casual suggestions in the newspapers 

 what it is. When we are ready to die 

 for some plant, as the Irishman will 

 die for the shamrock, we shall need 

 absolutely no legislation to constitute 

 it our emblem. — Boston Transcript.

PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED 



Maryland State College of Agricul- 

 ture, College Park, Md. — Thirtieth An- 

 nual Report of the Agricultural Experi- 

 ment Station, 1916-1917. A very com- 

 plete and instructive record of the 

 field and garden progress in the State 

 of Maryland, comprising over four 

 hundred pages of useful information 

 on crops and cultural operations and 

 research. 



Official Code of Standardized Plant 

 Names, 1917. — This reprint from Bail- 

 ey's Standard Cyclopedia of Horticul- 

 ture is a most important work, show- 

 ing evidence of much laborious effort 

 and careful study. It is intended for 

 general use in ordering, labeling and 

 catalogue compilation, and is the work 

 of the American Joint Committee on 

 Horticultural Nomenclature of which 

 J. Horace McParland of Harrisburg, 

 Pa., is chairman and Harlan P. Kelsey 

 of Salem, Mass., secretary. This joint 

 committee represents the American 

 Association of Nurserymen, Ornamen- 

 tal Growers' Association, American 

 Society of Landscape Architects, Amer- 

 ican Pharmaceutical Association and 

 American Association of Park Super- 

 intendents. Its particular function is 

 only to consider plant names for the 

 purpose of facilitating commerce or 

 "making buying easy," and the list in- 

 cludes a careful assembling of tae 

 scientific or botanical names deemed 

 most generally applicable to plants in 

 American commerce at the beginning 

 of the year 1917. At the price charged, 

 25 cents, every florist or plantsman in 

 the country should have one or sev- 

 eral copies of this much needed list.
