PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 



The Florists' Scrap Book is a sou- 

 venir publication issued by the John C. 

 Moninger Co., Chicago, to signalize its 

 fortieth year in business. The Scrap 

 Book contains 256 neatly printed pages. 

 Its contents consists of clippings from 

 the Eeview and other publications, close- 

 ly indexed so that the reader can qjiickly 

 find the paragraphs relating to any sub- 

 ject of special interest at the moment. 

 In the preface it is said: "For a long 

 time previous to the publication of this 

 book florists everywhere have clipped and 

 saved interesting bits of information 

 from papers here and there, but except 

 in a few cases they have not had time 

 to put them in shape for easy reference. 

 Much of the value of these clippings has 

 been lost, owing to the lack of time for 

 recording them in book form, and hence 

 the publication of this modest little 

 book." The Moninger Co. asserts th^ 

 book contains over 2,500 useful hints and 

 pointers, and about 700 remedies foB va- 

 rious diseases of greenhoyse stock. 



The Moninger Co. designed the book 

 for free distribution to florists, and it 

 is understood it will be so sent to any- 

 one who sends a business card or writes 

 on a printed letter-head. , . ' . • ' 



CHOOSING THE SHRUBS. 



Shrubs are planted around the borders 

 of the lawn, or used to screen the foun- 

 dation of the house, or to fill in comers. 



The shrubbery frame for the yard or 

 garden should be formed on the same 

 principle as a picture frame, the border 

 of a rug, etc. It should harmonize with 

 the picture it encloses, and each shrub in 

 the border should harmonize with its com- 

 panions. Too often no attention is paid 

 to this kind of harmony, and the shrub- 

 bery border becomes a thing of shreds 

 and patches, made up of showy bushes, 

 perhaps beautiful plants in themselves, 

 but arranged without regard to the effect 

 of the shape, color and general appear- 

 ance of one upon the whole. 



In choosing shrubs to grow side by 

 side, consider the foliage and flowers as 

 carefully as you consider the size and 

 shape of the bush. Do not put large 

 masses of light green foliage next to 

 masses of dark, or you will have a patchy 

 effect. By care in selection as regards 

 flowering season, you may be sure of hav- 

 ing one or more plants in the border in 

 blossom at all times during the summer. 

 Two shrubs that blossom the same time 

 should not be placed together if the col- 

 ors clash.

 rator, will add a flower business, having 

 leased a store at 336 West Fourth street.
