 Association of Gardeners, was present and addressed the meeting 

 on the aims and principles of the organization, and referred to 

 the coming Boston convention, September 12 to IS. He asked the 

 co-operation of the Xorth Shore gardeners to make the convention 

 a great success.

 some length on what the X. A. G. stood for and asked those who 

 were not members to join. George F. Stewart of Waltham. the 

 third speaker, added his voice in support of the national associa-

these two little devices, each for identifying sixty specimens, 

 are nicely contrived and easily manipulated in a way that should 

 prove to be quite fascinating to children ; but they miglit be 

 serviceable to an older tyro also in entering fields in which no 

 one ought to be a stranger. 



In either set each of the four working cards contains upon 

 its margins broad classifications into one of which the specimen in 

 question can be placed witliout difliculty. After this first card has 

 been properly turned and laid upon the foumLitioii card with all 

 of the sixly names it shows, through tiny windows, a limited 

 number of names one of which must be correct. The super- 

 imposing upon this of a second classificatory card still further re- 

 duces the number of possibilities. The correct name is shown alone 

 when the last of the four cards has been ;ipi)lied.
