of lime to nine pounds of sulphur, and 

 in addition to these two ingredients I 

 use about one-half the quantity of salt, 

 not so much because of the eflficacy of 

 salt as a destroyer, but because it adds 

 to the adhesive properties of the whole. 

 In the application of anything destruc- 

 tive t)f San Jose scale, it is important 

 that what is applied shall cover the bark 

 completely, or the pest will find means 

 of escape in sufficient numbers to mul- 

 tiply. D. M.

Seattle, Wash. — Sam Graff, who 

 came here a year or two ago from Colum- 

 bus, O., and opened a store in Pike place, 

 is preparing to open a second one, which 

 will be one of the finest in the west. 



Los Gatos, Cal. — George Guy Payne, 

 a voluntary petitioner, has been declared 

 a bankrupt by Judge De Haven, of the 

 United States District Court for the 

 Northern District of California. The 

 matter, now pending, has been referred

PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 



[Gardening In California — Landscape and 

 flower, by John McLaren, superintendent of 

 Golden Gate park, San Francisco; A. M. Robin- 

 eon, San Francisco, publisher; price, $3.75 net.] 



This is a notable volume of 400 pages, 

 with 154 illustrations. The author opens 

 with a chapter on location of a site for 

 house and garden and follows with in- 

 structions on planning the grounds. Then 

 appear nine planting plans, covering va- 

 rious sized plots from a lot 25x120 feet 

 up to a ten-acre tract. The chapter on 

 construction of roads and walks, prepar- 

 ing the ground and planting and trans- 

 planting is especially valuable, giving 

 the results of many years of experience 

 in dealing with adverse conditions in 

 Golden Gate park. His notes on the va- 

 rious trees, shrubs and plants are ar- 

 ranged alphabetically under the various 

 headings, and in each case cover the 

 special uses of the subject, in what situ- 

 ation it does best, with what others it 

 most satisfactorily combines and in con- 

 clusion it gives a brief description of 

 the method of propagation. 



In the chapter on the water garden 

 there is some practical instruction on the 

 forming of ponds and lakes. Under the 

 heading "Sand Reclamation" is a valu- 

 able record of the author's experience in 

 turning a thousand acres of drifting 

 sea sand into the present beautiful park. 

 Being exposed to the full sweep of the 

 winds from the Pacific ocean, the sand 

 drifted like snow during heavy gales. 

 To bind the sand was the first problem. 

 After several grasses and shrubs had 

 been tried, success was achieved through 

 the use of the sea bent grass, Amo- 

 phylla arenaria, the seeds of which were 

 imported from France. He tells of the 

 remarkable superiority of this grass as 

 a sea sand-binder and how it even grew

luxuriantly in sand that had been scraped 

 from below high water mark to raise a 

 road level. It seems almost impossible 

 for drifting sand to bury this grass so 

 deeply that the crowns cannot push 

 through to the surface, and the masses of 

 strong, fleshy roots anchor the grass so 

 firmly that the fiercest gales have but 

 little effect on its growth. The method 

 of propagating and using this grass in 

 sand reclamation is given in detail.

 different trees were tried as windbreaks,
