vesting money in plants and trees un- 
suitable to the localities designed for 
them, and hence involving great loss. 
The author speaks particularly for 
Nebraska, in his practical suggestions 
and in recording his experiences, but 
the principles he lays down lie cer- 
tainly at the root of planting in the 
Western States generally. 
The differences in climate between 
the Eastern States, in which the nur- 
sery business so prominently flour- 
ishes, and those of the West, are so 
great that not only must trees and 
plants be chosen to fit the exacting 
conditions of the West, but times and 
seasons for planting must be studied 
in order to reap success. For in- 
stance, fall planting in certain parts 
of Nebraska means death to many 
species, or at the best, a check of 
possibly years in their development. 
Nebraska nurserymen deserve great 
credit for their constant missionary 
efforts in the direction pointed out 
by Mr. Harrison, as well as for their 
work in developing new specimens of 
old and standard favorites perfectly 
adapted, by culture and care, to the 
harsh requirements of the Western 
climate. 
We have no doubt this new contri- 
bution to the Western literature of 
horticulture will contain records of 
much value and interest, as well as 
point out the way for successful 
planting work by Western planters, 
a matter which, if all we hear be true, 
is certainly worthy of consideration.
