The actuating element of the Standard Recording Thermom- 

 eter is of lamina metal which, besides being extremely sensitive 

 to temperature changes, is practically Indestructible. Record 

 charts are furnished either daily or weekly, and the whole 

 mechanism is contained in an attractive metal case fitted with 

 lock and key, which insures the record from being tampered 

 with. 



The clock movement is of extremely high grade; everything 

 about the Instrument is up to the highest possible standard 

 of manufacture.

tlon. The society is on the right track 

 and is fortunate in having found a 

 friend so good and useful as Mr. Mc- 

 Farland to give his time and experi- 

 ence to the preparation of this vol- 

 ume. Mr. McFarland's relation to 

 the enterprise has been of a distinct- 

 ly philanthropic character, inasmuch 

 as the labor of getting together, edit- 

 ing and publishing has been done with- 

 out compensation and the commercial 

 organization with which he is con- 

 nected has agreed to split the loss on 

 this first issue with the American Rose 

 Society. 



As mentioned in our previous notice, 

 the contents of this publication cover 

 a wide field of practical information, 

 from the pens of a number of writers 

 fully competent and influential. One 

 'Of the most notable features is the sec- 

 tion devoted to the insects and dis- 

 eases of the rose. The information 

 therein given is equally desirable for 

 the commercial cut-flower man and 

 the amateur. There are 180 pages, 

 with two colored plates and a number 

 of handsome halftones. Copies of the 

 book are supplied free to members 

 of the American Rose Society. Others 

 may obtain the Annual by remitting 

 Jl.OO for Associate Membership to the 

 secretary, Benjamin Hammond, Bea- 

 con, N. Y.
