Holiday time is fast approaching 

 and tlie question of suitable gifts for 

 one's family and friends ■will soon de- 

 mand attention. As a broadly general 

 statement, it may be said tbat a well- 

 selected book is always an acceptable 

 gift, at once entertaining and instruc- 

 . tive. Our readere will want something 

 besides strictly horticultural books for 

 this purpose and so we take the liberty 

 of introducing them to a set just pub- 

 lished by the well-known Boston 

 house of L. C. Page & Co., which in 

 diversity of character will furnish a 

 selection for a variety of ages and 

 tastes and are all beautiful products 

 of the printers', engravers' and boo';- 

 binders' art.

The Romantic Story of the Puritan 

 Fathers, by Albert Christophr Addi- 

 son. In his address at Provincetown, 

 Mass., in 1909, Ex-President Roosevelt 

 said: "The Puritans' task was to con- 

 quer a continent; not merely to over- 

 run it, but to settle it. to till it, to 

 build upon it a high industrial and 

 social life; and, while engaged in the 

 rough work of taming the shaggy wil- 

 derness, at that very time also to lay 

 deep the immovable foundations of our 

 American system of civil, political and 

 religious liberty achieved through the 

 orderly process of law." How the 

 Puritans went about it, the quaint and 

 humorous as well as the serious phases 

 of their career and its influence unon 

 New England history and upon New 

 England character are, in this book, 

 graphically recounted. We have no- 

 ticed, invariably, among the many 

 floricultural visitors to Boston how 

 deeply all are interested in the ancient 

 landmarks of the town and the stirring 

 records of its early days, preserved in 

 legend and poeti-y. From this fact we 

 conclude that the book in question will 

 find a warm welcome among the read- 

 ers of HORTICULTURE. There are 

 some seventy illustrations of scenes in 

 Old Boston, England; Boston. Mass., 

 and vicinity; portraits, etc. The price 

 of this book is $2.50 net.
