FORESTRY AND IRRIGATION 



June 



ular volume, "Our Native Trees." It de- 

 scribes the shrubs which are native to the 

 region extending from the Atlantic Ocean to 

 the Mississippi River and from Canada to the 

 northern boundaries of our Southern States. 

 In addition, many foreign shrubs that have 

 been grown here for years are noted. 



The arrangement of shrubs is by families, 

 each member being given both a popular and 

 a scientific description. Amateur botanists and 

 nature-lovers will find it a handy guide for the 

 identification of our many shrubs, and through 

 it will be able to learn accurately their habits 

 and characteristics. 



The arrangement of the text in this volume 

 is exceptional!}- good. There is at the begin- 

 ning a division by genera and species of all the 

 shrubs described. Following is a detailed de- 

 scription of each species, in most cases accom- 

 panied by an appropriate illustration. At the 

 end of the volume a glossary of botanical 

 terms and an index of Latin names add much 

 to its value. 



In " Our Northern Shrubs " Miss Keeler has 

 written a book that will likely do much to 

 popularize the study of shrubs, just as in her 

 earlier volume, "Our Native Trees," she 

 aroused increased interest in the trees of the 

 United States. 



Recent issues of the general magazines con 

 tain articles of interest on forestry and kin- 

 dred subjects. The charm of out-of-doors is 

 more and more finding a place in the civiliza- 

 tion of the present day, and the current litera- 

 ture gives abundant expression of that charm. 

 Scribner's for June has an entertaining article, 

 illustrated by wonderful photographs, entitled 

 "A New Playground in the New World." 

 This describes the beauties of the Selkirks or 

 Canadian Rockies, in the region around Banff 

 and Mt. Stephen. Another keenly appreciative 

 article in the same magazine is " The Lover of 

 Trees in Italy." The World's Work's June 

 issue is, paradoxically, devoted to ' ' the world 

 at play," and practically the entire table of 

 contents is given up to vacations, fishing, 

 camping, hunting, boating, mountaineering, 

 etc. Outing takes one out of doors, and 

 Country Life, in its June issue, by means of 

 almost perfect illustrations, gives enchanting 

 pictures of rural life. 



PUBLISHER'S NOTES. 



The advertisement of Camp Algonquin, a 

 summer camp for boys, will be found on an- 

 other page of FORESTRY AND IRRIGATION. 

 This camp is under the able direction of Mr. 

 Edwin De Merritte, who has made a special 

 study of the needs of boys during a summer 

 outing, and who.'e experience dates back to 

 1886, with the founding of the present camp 

 on Asquam Lake, Holderness, N. H. Here 

 there is opportunity for all sorts of sports 

 under careful supervision, and every provision 

 is made for healty fun and recreation. Al- 

 though the wild surroundings of the camp 

 have been in no way sacrificed, the buildings 

 are commodious and comfortable, so that 



" roughing " has all of its charms and none of 

 its inconveniences. Mr. De Merritte, as prin- 

 cipal of the De Merritte School of Boston, has 

 had much success in the training of boys, and 

 if it is desirable, arrangements can be made 

 for tuition during the summer, although it is 

 tmderstood that the object of the eamp is
