tion given in very concise and effec- 

 tive style. Tlie seventy-five chapters 

 of this useful booli give complete and 

 reliable directions for the best cultiva- 

 tion of vegetables, fruit and flowers, 

 the management of poultry and pets, 

 the proper care of the lawn, vines and 

 shade trees, and discuss everything 

 pertaining to the out-doors of the 

 suburban, village or country home. 

 This would be an excellent book to 

 present as a premium at a local flower 

 show or fair. In appreciative hands 

 it would make business for florist, 

 nurseryman or seedsman. The au- 

 thor, who is a practical gardener and 

 an authority on the subject, was for 

 several years a member of the faculty 

 of two state agricultural colleges and 

 possesses the ability to write in a 

 clear and entertaining style. His book 

 will be treasured by every person for- 

 tunate enough to possess a garden 

 spot.

 and sure to be popular with such.

 Book." Like the Glad Book, this new 

 comer is destined to popularity from 

 the start. "Miss Billy" is a character 

 full of the "go" which makes heroines 

 fascinating and very real. There is 

 not one dull or weak page in tlie 

 book. The Page Company, Boston.

The Rhode Island Experiment Sta- 

 tion Extension Department has issued

 cal and will be appreciated by growers.

"Tree Talk" for February, 1914, is 

 a very interesting and useful num- 

 ber. This periodical, published by The 

 Frost & Bartlett Co., Stamford, Conn., 



Bulletin No. 11, of the American As- 

 sociation of Park Superintendents, is 

 a very useful issue, treating on In- 

 sects Injurious to Shade and Orna- 

 mental Trees. Two full-page color 

 plates of the Gypsy and Brown Tail 

 Moths, published by, the New York 

 State Department of Agriculture, are 



Botany, by E. Brucker. A useful ad- 

 dition to the "Threshold of Science" 

 series, published by Doubleday, Page 

 & Co., Garden City, N. Y. 



Someone has said that "if we were 

 occasional visitors to the earth, we 

 would never come without a guide- 

 book to the wonders and beauties ol 

 tree, and flower, and shrub." This 

 book would meet such a demand, for 

 its forty-two chapters unfold the fas- 

 cinating story of plant life. There 

 are 202 pages, 235 illustrations, a clas- 

 sified table, and an index. It is simply 

 and non-technically written for the 

 person who says: "I wish I knew."
