set, by Irwin L. Gordon.— A remark- 

 able story, written with power and 

 intensity and fllled with the thrill of 

 adventure in the midst of fanatical 

 Moselenis. It is a tale of love and in- 

 trigue told in masterful language.

Pollyanna, the "Glad Book" Calen- 

 dar for 1918, will make a most beauti- 

 ful and appropriate holiday gift. 

 There is a trite quotation for each 

 week in the year, each one in a lovely 

 landscape setting in colors. The Pol- 

 lyanna Calendar is a daily reminder 

 of the cheery side of life. Here Is a 

 bit of PoUyanna's philosophy: 



"I like red pinks better than pink 

 ones; but then it'll fade, anyhow, be- 

 fore night, so what's the difference!" 



"But I should think you'd be glad 

 they did fade," laughed Polyanna, 

 " 'cause then you can have the fun of 

 getting some more." 



Just so; "another good Idea," as 

 Henry Penn would say.

The Annual Report of the Parks 

 Department of the City of Calgary. 

 Alberta, for 1916 comes to us bound 

 in niulligraphed tyi)ewritten form and 

 is exceedingly interesting and in- 

 structive as to conditions and pro;^ 

 ress in that faraway country. Super 

 intendent Wni. R. Reader, who has 

 had charge of the Calgary Parks for 

 the past four years, states that the 

 citizens are apparently acquiring the 

 "park habit" in a marked degree, 

 whole families durins the hot weather 

 seeming almost to reside in them. 

 The lists of material planted and im- 

 provements inaugurated during the 

 past year speak well for the effi- 

 ciency with which the department is 

 conducted. 



A very interesting "Leaflet" on For- 

 est Problems of the Ashokan Water- 

 shed has just been published by the 

 Brooklyn Botanic Garden in honor of 

 the Catskills Aqueduct Celebration, 

 with Norman Taylor as author. Par- 

 ticularly interesting as a feature of 

 this bulletin is a list of the plants of 

 the Catskill aqueduct region which 

 make the higher points in this sec- 

 tion their most southerly limits. 



In our notes on new publications in 

 the issue of November 3, we took oc- 

 casion to mention in terms of high 

 praise the program and handbook of 

 the Sewickley (Pa.) Horticultural So- 

 ciety, published in connection with the 

 recent exhibition of that Society. We 

 gave credit to Secretary Carman for 

 same, but have since ascertained that 

 this admirable publication was not the 

 work of the worthy Secretary but of 

 a schedule committee consisting of A. 

 Etherington, J. Barnet and M. Curran. 

 The book has received much favorable 

 comment. 



Bulletin of Peony News, No. 5, to- 

 gether with the Proceedings of the

 Society. A. P. Saunders. Clinton, N. Y.
