PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 



[Another Hardy Garden Book, by Helena Ruth- 

 erford Ely; the Macmillan Co., New York.] 



Prompted no doubt by the success 

 which attended her first venture into the 

 fast developing field of gardening lit- 

 erature, Mrs. Ely has written "An- 

 other Hardy Garden Book" for the 

 Macmillans. The title is something of a 

 misnomer, as many of the things 

 touched upon would have no place in a 

 hardy garden, but both the author and 

 the publisher may be pardoned for the 

 desire to reap the advantage of a previ- 

 ous success. And then, the present work 

 is supplementary of the first, taking up 

 subjects there neglected. 



In her preface Mrs. Ely says that 

 she gives only the result of her own ex- 



periences in raising vegetables, fruits 

 and flowers, and concludes by saying 

 that "if it gives any help to those who 

 are already cultivating their own gar- 

 dens, or causes others to make a begin- 

 ning in the fascinating art, its object 

 will have been accomplished. ' ' If the 

 book does either of these things, it is 

 worthy of a good word by every one 

 who is interested in a business way in 

 extending the ancient art of gardening. 

 In the introduction the author calls 

 attention to a discovery her own: 

 ' ' Most men who care for gardening de- 

 vote themselves rather to the utilitarian 

 side of the craft. They are deeply in- 

 terested and generally successful in pro- 

 ducing the finest vegetables and fruits, 

 while flowers come as a .secondary con- 

 sideration. A woman 'a heart in gar- 

 dening is with her flowers and the rais- 

 ing of vegetables is often a propitia- 

 tory offering to the other members of 

 the family. ' ' Possibly it is as a pro- 

 pitiatory offering to the other sex that 

 Mrs. Ely devotes the first chapter of her 

 present volume to the vegetable gar- 

 den. 



Other chapters deal with fruits, trees, 

 perennials and other flowers, a garden 

 of lilies and irises, autumn work in the 

 flower garden and the flower garden in 

 spring. There are half a hundred half- 

 tone illustrations and something of in- 

 terest on every page of the book. 



Detroit, Mich. — George W. Davis, 

 who left home about a year ago while 

 hard pressed by creditors, has returned. 

 ^Irs. Davis has run the business during 

 his absence and it did not lose anything 

 by the change.
