BOOK REVIEWS 



French Forests and Forestry, by Theodore 

 S. Woolsey, Jr. John Wiley & Sons, 

 Inc., New York City. Price, $2.50. 



This work embodies the results of a 

 study of the more important phases of 

 forest practice in Corsica, Algeria and 

 Tunisia. The author has not attempted to 

 present a complete investigation of forestry 

 in all its ramifications, but has rather aimed 

 to set forth the essentials of French 

 methods which might be applied directly in 

 the United States, or would otherwise prove 

 of value to English speaking toresters. His 

 wide experience and studies abroad in- 

 clude not only Continental Europe and the 

 French Dependencies described in the book, 

 but also forest management in British India 

 as well. Mr. Woolsey makes, in French 

 Forests and Forestry, a most valuable con- 

 tribution to the forest literature of the day. 



1000 Hints on Flowers and Birds, by Mae 

 Savell Croy. G. P. Putnam's Sons, New 

 York City. Price, $1.50. 



A very serviceable book, written for those 

 who are interested in flower culture and in 

 the establishment of wild life about the 

 home, and so handled that it is of equal 

 value to those who must live in cities and 

 are limited in their efforts to a small back 

 yard or a porch garden, and those more 

 fortunate ones living in the country or 

 I he suburbs, who may spread themselves in 

 planning and beautifying their gardens and 

 grounds. The instructions for flower cul- 

 ture in Mrs. Croy's book are briefly and 

 clearly given, and the information, classified 

 under appropriate headings and exhaustive- 

 ly indexed, will prove invaluable to the 

 i^ower lover and gardener. 



The Bird Study Book, by T. Gilbert Pear- 

 son. Doubleday, Page & Company, Gar- 

 den City, N. Y. Price, $1.25. 



To those who are interested in bird life 

 and who desire to acquire a greater fa- 

 miliarity with the habits and activities of 

 wild birds, this little book, charmingly illus- 

 trated, will prove a mine of pleasure and 

 information. It is not intended so much 

 ''or the advanced student of ornithology as 

 for the beginner, taking up briefly the 

 classification of birds, their form, color, 

 distribution, migration, songs and foods, 

 and it answers many questions which natu- 

 rally occur to the student of bird lore. 

 To know birds is to love them, and to be 

 introduced to them through the medium 

 of Mr. Pearson's book is to insure that 

 love born of intimate knowledge.
