Landscape Gardening, by O. C. Simonds 



(Macmillan). Price $6.00. 



The purpose of this book, the author 

 says, is to help make our country more 

 beautiful. It deals with the handling and 

 shaping of land, plant materials, ar- 

 rangement of planting, methods of planting 

 and utilization of water in the landscape 

 picture. Plans for home grounds, farms, 

 public thoroughfares, railway stations, 

 parks, forest preserves, golf grounds, 

 schools, etc., are considered. 



The author has had long experience as a 

 practising landscape artist, and the book 

 is the result of his mature judgment. He 

 writes with a keen and delightful appre- 

 ciation of nature. 



Handbook of Yosemite National Park, 

 Compiled and edited by Ansel F. Hall 

 (Putnam). 



Much has been written of "The Valley 

 Incomparable" and the 1100 square miles of 

 scenic High Sierra which have been set 

 aside as a playground for the people and 

 this book, compiled by an official of the 

 National Park Service, adds substantially 

 to the Park literature. But there still 

 remains the task of satisfying the thou- 

 sands who seek definite information con- 

 cerning Yosemite its history, ethnology, 

 botany, geology, camp and trail-craft, nat- 

 ural history and related subjects. As no 

 one man can be master of all these 

 blanches of knowledge, the editor presents 

 this collection of articles, each by an emi- 

 nent authority. Because of the consistent- 

 ly rapid growth of travel in our National 

 Parks, the desire to "See America First" 

 which seems to pervade the land, the 

 popularity of this book is confidently pre- 

 dicted. 



Trees of Indiana, by C. C. Deam (Indiana 



State). 



Issued in April, 1921, by the Department 

 of Conservation of the State of Indiana, 

 this new and revised edition is full of in- 

 terest. First published in 1911, the edition 

 of 10,000 lasted about three years. The 

 great demand for it justified a second edi- 

 tion in March 1919, which was exhausted 

 five days after publication, leaving thou- 

 sands of requests for it unfilled. These 

 came from all classes of people, says 

 Richard Lieber, Director of the Depart- 

 ment of Conservation, but the greatest 

 demand was from the school teachers of 

 thd State. 



"Since forestry is an integral part of 

 agriculture which is now taught in our 

 public schools, and since a book on the 

 trees of the State is in demand," he con- 

 tinues, "the Conservation Commission has
