BOOKS, REPORTS. ETC. 
“Forest Trees of Massachusetts ; 
How You May Know Them,” is a 
handy and valuable pocket manual by 
D. A. Clarke, published under the di- 
rection of State Forester F. W. Rane, 
State House, Boston. It is freely illus- 
trated, and will be very serviceable in 
identifying Massachusetts trees. Mr. 
Rane also sends a reprint of his excel- 
lent address on “Forestry from a Com- 
mercial Standpoint.” 
The Forest Service at Washington is- 
sues a “Report of the Secretary of Ag- 
riculture on the Southern Appalachian 
and White Mountain Wated Sheds” that 
is now a timely subject. “Forestry in 
the Public Schools,” Circular 130 of the 
Forest Service, is also of interest to our 
readers. 
“Landscape Gardening for Amateurs” 
is the title of a very useful book that 
is just published by the Wagner Park 
Conservativatpries of Sidney, O. It is 
8x10 in., contains sixty-four pages of 
beautiful illustrations and the necessary 
information for laying out home grounds 
in an attractive and artistic way. It also 
treats on the laying out and planting 
of school and college grounds, factory, 
sanitarium and hotel grounds. This 
book will be found an excellent guide 
and book of reference to those inter- 
ested in beautiful surroundings. It is 
mailed to any address upon receipt of 
$ 1 . 00 . 
The growing value of cemetery litera- 
ture, and especially reports of the As- 
sociation of American Cemetery Super- 
intendents, is not ’ so seriously appre- 
ciated as it should be, and as it ought 
to be, to benefit the cause to the fullest 
extent. Those reports have found their 
way into the Chicago and doubtless 
many other public libraries, and the cem- 
etery corporations throughout the coun- 
try should be far more liberal both in 
using and distributing them, as a means 
of raising the standards of thought and 
practice in cemetery work among those 
interested. It is a reflection on every 
cemetery of the country not to have a 
file of the annual reports of the national 
association ; it is a library of theory and 
practice of the highest character, and we 
feel it a duty to urge upon cemetery 
associations the wisdom of securing 
copies of these reports and of making 
liberal use of them. They may be ob- 
tained from Mr. Frank Enrich, Sec- 
Treas., Detroit, Mich. 
“The Landscape Beautiful;” an at- 
tractive illustrated book from H. R. 
Cotta, Landscape Architect, Rockford, 
ill, showing views of work done by 
him, and some good advice on land- 
scape improvement. 
Descriptive illustrated book from 
Riverside Cemetery, Hastings, Mich. 
Twenty-sixth annual report of the 
Fairmoiint Park Art Association, Phil-

“Making the Yard Beautiful;” illus- 
trated booklet of Wm. Frowe, Land- 
scape Gardener, Lawrence, Kan. 
Purdue University Agricultural Ex- 
periment Station, Lafayette, Ind., an- 
nual report.
