DISPOSITION OF UNCLAIMED NUR- 

 SERY STOCK IMPORTATIONS. 



A circular letter has been sent to col- 

 lectore and officials of the Customs by 

 Assistant Secretary Peters instructing 

 them that unclaimed nursery stock 

 may be sold without the certificate of 

 an officer of the Department of Agri- 

 culture, where the collector shall find 

 that a permit has been issued by the 

 Department of Agriculture for the nur- 

 sery stock, that foreign certificates of 

 inspection are attached to the cont'in 

 ers. and that the latter are plainly 

 marked to show the general nature and 

 .quantity of the contents, the address of 

 the exporter aud of the consignee and 

 •the locality where the stock was 

 grown. The present procedure witli 

 respect to unclaimed stock not com- 

 plying with the above, that of burning 

 under government supervision, will be 

 continued. 



PUBUCATIONS RECEIVED. 



Wind and Weatlier. By L. H. 

 "Bailey. It is many years since we 

 learned to look up to Dr. Bailey with 

 wonder and admiration for his master- 

 ly literary ability and his tireless 

 •energy. "Wind and Weather," as we 

 peruse its garnered contents brings 

 home a still clearer perception of Dr. 

 Bailey's rare genius. It is a selection 

 ■ of fragmentary verses and sweet songs 

 full of melody and overflowing love 

 •of nature in all her moods, now- 

 brought together and published for the 

 first time, culled from the accumula- 

 tion of a quarter of a century. There 

 are one hundred and twenty-seven of 

 these exquisite gems. The book is 

 published by Charles Scribner's Sons, 

 New York, at $1.00 the copy.

Tewksbury, Mass. — During a severe 

 thunder storm on Sunday, July 2, 

 much damage was done to trees and 

 to wires of street railway and tele- 

 plione companies and to many houses 

 in Tyngsboro, Dracut and Tewkes- 

 bury, Mass. Three greenhouses of A. 

 C. Tingley, florist, were badly shat- 

 tered and his water tower, capacity 

 6000 gallons was carried 100 yards 

 away from its site. Frank H. Farmer 

 sustained a considerable damage to 

 his greenhouses. Hailstones broke 

 considerable glass for the vegetable 

 growers in and about North and West 

 Westford.
