AMERICAN FORESTRY 



as tree surgery and insect pests. The 

 present volume is a welcome addition to 

 the brief list and should have a wide sale. 

 It is sane, careful, concise, and complete. 

 The opening chapter discusses trees in the 

 life of a city and is followed by chapters 

 on selection of trees for street use; species 

 for street planting; the planting of street 

 trees; the care of street trees; injuries to 

 shade trees and how to protect them; in- 

 jurious insects, fungous and other diseases; 

 insecticides, fungicides, and spraying; the 

 repair and replacing of trees; who shall 

 plant and care for street trees; a depart- 

 ment of municipal arboriculture; and leg- 

 islation. 



iMr. Solotaroff joins Dr. Fernow in a pro- 

 test against the use of the term "city 

 forester," preferring that of "tree warden." 

 The present reviewer made the same pro- 

 test years ago against the use of this mis- 

 nomer. It is something more than a mere 

 ouestion of name. It gives a wrong idea 

 and should be avoided. 



The illustrations in this book have been 

 carefully made and selected. They are 

 admirable and tell a great deal of the story 

 well. For the rest it may be said that 

 there seems to be nothing omitted that is 

 really essential, and nothing included that 

 is unnecessary. It is a good thing to be 

 able to say this in these days of many 

 books. If this manual, or Dr. Fernow's, 

 or better both of them are thoroughly 

 studied by those who have in charge the 

 shade trees of our towns and cities, a great 

 improvement in conditions should be at- 

 tained in a few years. Not those in actual 

 charge of the trees only, but all of those 

 citizens who wish to know the standards 

 to be worked for and the conditions of 

 attaining them, can stud}' such books with 

 profit.
