 commended for the diversity and gen-

 devotes a fair share of the space to 

 papers on the beautifying of home 

 grounds, shade trees, annual flowers, 

 etc., lists ot trees and shrubs that are 

 reliable in Wisconsin, spring flower-

 dies for the control of plant diseases

 ot which goes to make up a book, a 

 copy of which should be in every

 several pages of illustrations and it is 

 nicely gotten up throughout.
