ANNALS OF HORTICULTURE FOR 1891. Bright, new, clean and fresh may be 

 said of this series, by L. H. BAILEY. Each year's experience makes the 

 succeeding volume a better one. The list of introductions for each year is 

 unique. It puts on record every novelty of fruit, flower, vegetable and tree of 

 the year. All the tools of the year are described and illustrated, whether for 

 use in orchard, garden or greenhouse. Every advance in American horticul- 

 ture is chronicled. The volumes are a storehouse of information to every one 

 who grows flowers, fruits, vegetables or trees. It describes the new insects 

 and fungous depredations. The obituaries of the year are included. The vol- 

 ume for 1891 contains a censtis of native cultivated plants, being a carefully 

 annotated and dated list of all the plants in cultivation of American origin, in- 

 cluding hundreds of entries. This is one of the boldest pieces of work yet at- 

 tempted in American horticulture. The volume for 1891 also contains a history 

 and statistical record of the Farmers' 1 Institute movement in the United States 

 and Canada. The work of the Experiment Stations is exhaustively discussed 

 and indexed.
