PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 



The Transactions of the Massachu- 

 setts Horticultural Society for the 

 year 1913, Part II, is a record of the 

 meetings of the Board of Trustees, re- 

 ports of judges and awards at the 

 various exhibitions of the year, also of 

 the various officers and regular com- 

 mittees for 1913. There is a full page 

 portrait of Hydrangea Sargentiana, 

 one of E. H. Wilson's Chinese collec- 

 tions. 



Report of the Board of Park Com- 

 missioners of Seattle, Washington — 

 This is the 10th annual report of the 

 Seattle Park System. Its date and 

 statistics are good evidence that Seat- 

 tle is alive to the importance of public 

 reservations, when a city is young. 

 An expenditure account of $364,060 for 

 improvements and maintenance indi- 

 cates a liberality most commendable 

 and the details of this report shows 

 that the money has been wisely ex- 

 pended. J. W. Thompson is superin- 

 tendent of the Seattle Park system. 



The Piddling Girl: The Story of 

 Virginia Hammond. By Daisy Rhodes 

 Campbell, and illustrated by John 

 Goss. This is a charming story, pub- 

 lished by The Page Company, Boston, 

 and, like all the literature sent out by 

 this house, draws its interest and 

 fascination for the reader from the 

 clean sentiment and sunshiny human 

 characters it portrays. It is dedicated 

 by the author "To the Memory of My 

 Best Friend. My Mother." It will be a 

 most acceptable "Mother's Day" gift 

 and cannot fail to engross and delight 

 the lady who is so fortunate as to be 

 thus remembered by a friend. 



Botany, by E. Brucker. Another ad- 

 dition to the useful "Threshold of 

 Science" series published by Double- 

 Day, Page & Co., to meet the need for 

 a better popular knowledge of the ele- 

 mentary laws of science, not only by 

 the child who lives in a wonderland of 

 discovery, but of people of more ma- 

 ture years, is the aim of this series of 

 monographs on the various branches 

 of science. "Botany" is a book of 186 

 pages profusely illustrated with wood- 

 cuts and admirably adapted to its pur- 

 pose and the best in its class we have 

 seen. There are 42 chapters illustrated 

 v/ith 235 cuts. 



The 60th Annual Report of the 

 Massachusetts State Board of Agricul- 

 ture and 25th Annual Report of the 

 Massachusetts State Experiment Sta- 

 tion has come to hand rather late, but 

 is a volume well worth the waiting 

 for. It is a book of 660 pages well 

 filled with useful matter presented in 

 practical form. Particularly so are the 

 chapters on poultry and egg produc- 

 tion, smaH fruits and berries, market 

 gardening, report of state ornitholo- 

 gist, report of state forester, the in- 

 fluence of light on plant development 

 and shade tree troubles. There are 

 many fine full page plates illustrative 

 of the text matter and, as a whole, the 

 document impresses us as an advance 

 over its predecessors in many re- 

 spects.

 of Motor Rambles in France. Germany 

 and Britain, by Thomas D. Murphy.

combined effort of author and pub- 

 lisher. There are 40 duograv\ires from 

 photographs and 16 reproductions in 

 colors from original paintings by 

 eminent artists, also maps showing the 

 routes of the author, the latter par- 

 ticularly valuable to the reader in fol- 

 lowing the text. To particularize the 

 interesting features of this volume 

 would be practically to repeat it en- 

 tire, for every one of its 400 pages is 

 alive with interest, and the author's 

 style of narrative is most felicitous. 

 The greater bulk of the volume deals 

 with historic and picturesque England, 

 Wales and Scotland and the record of 

 the pilgrimage from Land's End to 

 John O'Groat's fills the reader with a 

 wistful longing to go and do likewise. 



Zurich, Switzerland — Doctor Kleiber, 

 a chemist in the service of the Swiss 

 government, analyzed during a recent 

 visit to Pompeii and Herculaneum the 

 Vesuvian ashes and debris, and found 

 that they contain large percentages of 

 potash, suitable for the manufacture of 

 fertilizer. The potash syndicate, es- 

 tablished by the German government, 

 has almost a monopoly of potash. The 

 Italian government, learning of Doctor 

 Kleiber's discoveries, has communi- 

 cated with him upon the possibility 

 of developing iMtash mines in the 

 vicinity of Vesuvius. He is looking 

 into the matter The largest market 

 outside Germany for potash fertilizer 

 is the United States.
