The Mvalile House. Its (iarden. by 

 Kuth I>enn. I^ndsrape Art-liilect. This 

 Is Volume 1' o; tho LIvnbli' Mouse se- 

 ries edited liy Aymar Kmbiiry, II and 

 published liy .Moffat , Yard *i ('ompnn> 

 New York. In liitrodurln^ this nev, 

 book on the old yet ever new, art of 

 garden niakiui;, the editor writes as 

 follows: 



"In conslderlnR the selection of the 

 landscape arrhltect to write this vol- 

 ume of the Livable Mouse Series, Miss 

 Dean was chosen because of her very 

 wide famllinrity with the problem of 

 plantin.i; with regard to its ultimate 

 effect and her great success In work 

 around small houses, as well as In 

 larger work. She has achieved es- 

 pecial success In the treatmeni of the 

 house garden, both In informal and 

 In formal ways, and the admirable 

 manner in which she lias used native 

 shrubs in combination has tended to 

 give her work a more quiet and less 

 exotic character than that of many of 

 the other members of her profession. 

 .•\dded to this is the fact that her train- 

 ing has been under men who repre- 

 sented rather extreme differences of 

 opinion in regard to landscape work, 

 so that she has been led to perceive 

 the valuable qualities of the several 

 types of landscape arcbiterture and 

 is able to apply to any particular prob- 

 lem the solution which liest fits it. As 

 training of this kind leads an artist to 

 a nu}< generous appreciation of the 

 •vhole field of his or her work, a book 

 written by such hands will deal in a 

 more broadminded and generous way 

 with all schools of design." 



A perusal of the volume fully bears 

 out the foregoing and the student in 

 landscape art— a study from which one 

 never is graduated — will find plenty 

 of inspiration, well-founded principle 

 and ideals presented in a way distinct- 

 ly different from the usual. The 

 grounds as a Whole. General Planting. 

 The Flower Garden. Times and Sea- 

 sons and Garden Architecture are the 

 five divisions covered by the text. 

 The book might almost be called an 

 all)um as there are 107 full rage lec- 

 tures of elaborate garden views. The 

 price is $2.50 net. 



We have perused with much inter- 

 est and pleasure the Sixteen! h .Annual 

 Report of the State Entomologist of 

 Minnesota for ISUS and 191<>. this be- 

 ing the tenth report of the present in- 

 cumbent, F. F. Washburn. It is a 200- 

 page publication, on heavy paper and 

 profusely illustrated with splendid 

 cuts. The contents are comprehensive 

 and Instructive and the people of Min- 

 nesota, and the nursery interests in 

 particular, have reason to congratu- 

 late themselves on the (luality of the 

 material served to them by this de- 

 partment of the experiment station at 

 St. Anthony Park.
