Wisconsin Farm Institute Bulletin No. 6 haieome to hand from W. H. Morrison, 

 the Superintendent. It is really a most creditable book. We know of no other State or 

 Province where such a work is issued. In Wisconsin they hold from seventy-fire to one 

 hundred two-day institutes each winter, and at the close all the workers come together for 

 a three days' conference, and a competent stenographer gives a verbatim report of thia 

 meeting. Bulletin No. 6, a volume of 256 pages, bound in cloth and carefully indexed is 

 the result of this meeting. It contains a large number of interesting papers and dis- 

 cussions thereon on agricultural topics. 



CATALOGUES. 



Ellwangee & Barry's Illustrated General Catalogue of fruit, ornamental 

 trees and roses, etc., is a creditable one of considerable value as a book of reference. The 

 Mount Hope Nurseries, Rochester, are now in their fifty-third year, and have a world- 

 wide reputation. The catalogue is highly illustrated, and the descriptions are trust- 

 worthy. A supplementary catalogue is added, calling attention to some special varieties 

 of roses and other ornamentals offered for sale.
