R. G. FRASER & SON, Wholesale Seed Growers, i^x'^sS PASADENA, CALIF. 



This shop has moved a large quantity 

 of short-stemmed mums. 



General decoration work has shown a 

 big increase of late for McCoy's, roses 

 being used freely for these events. The 

 greenhouses are sending in some good 

 bouvardia of late. 



The Pinehurst Floral Shop handled an 

 elaborate home decoration last week, 

 using yellow Turner mums, pink blos- 

 soms and greens, with Columbia roses 

 and violets worked into the favors. A 

 special window decoration was arranged 

 for the Washington-Stanford football 

 game, using baskets of yellow mums 

 with purple ribbons for the University 

 of Washington and white mums with 

 cardinal ribbons for Stanford Univer- 

 sity. Individual blooms, with the school 

 letters worked in colored tape, were also 

 featured. H. M. 



PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 



["New Creations in Plant I-ifc: An Aullior- 

 itativp Account of tlie Life and Work of Luther 

 Burbiink," by W. S. Harwood. New and revised 

 edition. Contains 4.H0 pages of text, besides 

 forty-six full-pape lialf-tone Illustrations, in- 

 cludiuK a portrait of Mr. Burbank. Hound in 

 (treen clotli. I'liblislied by the Xlacmillnn Co., 

 New York city.) 



"New Creations in Plant Life" — 

 such is the title, the entire title, as it 

 appears on the cover of the book. The 

 subtitle, "An Authoritative Account of 

 the Life and Work of Luther Bur- 

 bank," is not discovered until after the 

 book has been opened. Yet, from some 

 points of view, the subtitle is more ex- 

 plicit and more vitally important than 

 the title itself. The "fact of chief sig- 

 nificance to many minds is that the book 

 is an "authoritative" biography of 

 Luther Burbank, the "plant wizard." 

 It is authoritative especially in the 

 sense that it has the complete sanction 

 of Mr. Burbank. "The statements in 

 this volume," says the author, "both 

 those which have a scientific and those 

 which have a practical bearing, stand 

 unreservedly vouched for by Mr. Bur- 

 bank." 



Some biographers are not perfectly in
