of this manual, published some time 
ago, was soon exhausted, and the value 
of the peony as a plant for nurserymen, 
florists and the general public having 
so steadily grown, prompted a second 
edition, which, by the way, has been 
practically rewritten. It is a compen- ' 
dium of up-to-date information con- 
cerning this rival queen in the floral 
world, and contains a fund of instruc- 
tion on propagation, cultivation, care, 
and the many details of management a 
plant of such striking, and yet so easily 
controlled peculiarities, requires. The 
peony is a coming all-around plant, 
scarcely excelled in stately beauty by 
any other ; combining fragrance, variety 
of color and form, and a hardiness arid 
vitality which makes it of permanent 
value. Not the least interesting portion 
of the manual is the descriptive list of 
the best sorts, with certain historical 
facts connected with them. The peony 
is an old flower, as most of us know, 
but it has been vastly improved, and as 
its natme and habits have become better 
known, its possibilities for a still high- 
er development are in abundant evi- 
dence. 
Howard Evarts Weed, landscape 
architect of Chicago, has made a re- 
port on the improvement of Willard 
Park, Battle Creek, Mich., which is 
published in book form and illustrated 
with plans and photographs. It pre- 
sents complete recommendations for the 
improvement of this sixteen-acre tract 
and was made for the city council of 
Battle Creek. The report will be sent 
free' on application to Howard Evarts 
Weed, Railway Exchange, Chicago.
