PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 



The Page Company, Boston, has just 

 issued the fourtli volume in the de- 

 servedly popular Hadley Hall Series, 

 by Ixjuise M. Breitenbach. author of 

 the three preceding volumes. We take 

 especial pleasure, at all times, in say- 

 ing a word of commendation for fiction 

 books of the class which the Page 

 people invariably send out. This story 

 is one that any girl who reads it will 

 pronounce delightful. Flowers are ac- 

 corded their proper place and atten- 

 tion in the chapters, wliich constitutes 

 another claim upon our esteem. For 

 a birthday gift to a young lady, for a 

 vacation reading, it is all right. .320 

 pages. Illustrations by John Goss.

Studies of Trees. By J. J. Levison. 

 Forester to the Department of Parks, 

 Brooklyn, N. Y., and Lecturer on Orna- 

 mental and Shade Trees at the Yale 

 University Forest School. It may be 

 true that there is nothing new under 

 the sun and it is also true that a good 

 many books have been written on tree 

 subjects in recent years but a newer 

 and better light may ever be thrown 

 upon even a much more overworked 

 subject than that to which this book 

 is devoted and that is just what Mr. 

 Levison has here done. Ix)ng years of 

 training and practical observation 

 have equipped him well for such a 

 work and his efforts will be appreci- 

 ated not only by the public who are 

 ready for any authentic information on 

 the care of trees but by the profes- 



sional student and planter who will 

 find in its pages much to interest and 

 help them. The several chapters giv- 

 ing characters and facts useful in the 

 ready identification of trees at any 

 season of the year strike us as espe- 

 cially valuable. In addition to the dis- 

 tinguishing characteristics of the vari- 

 ous trees listed, the soil best suited to 

 its needs, its enemies, its value com- 

 mercially or decorative, etc., are fully 

 recorded. The structures and require- 

 ments of trees, trees for street, lawn, 

 woodland and screening, tree diseases, 

 insects, pruning, etc.. forestry, uses of 

 the various woods, and other pertinent 

 topics are fully treated in the other 

 chapters. There are 155 fine plates 

 illustrative of the text and a very com- 

 plete reference index to the contents.
