costs and a summary of conclusions ar- 
rived at based on a consideration of the 
details of many experiments. The com- 
parative values of the various methods 
and their suitability for local conditions 
as brought out in these conclusions are 
invaluable to officials charged with the 
selection of the material to be used in 
any locality, and enable them to profit 
hy the experience of others and thus 
save much of the cost of experimenting 
for themselves. Many examples of 
failures, with reasons, are cited.

Send for this Green- 
house Book. It is the 
latest information on 
up-to-date, scientific 
greenhouse building. 
An interesting feature of the book is 
the enumeration of preparations for 
road treatment on the market, no less 
than sixteen oil emulsions and various 
oils and coal-tar preparations being de- 
scribed. The experiments cited are se- 
lected from all parts of the United 
States and some foreign countries, rep- 
resenting many different conditions of 
climate and road construction, and also 
considering such features of localities as 
convenience to sources of supplies and 
freight rates. The book is easily read- 
able for non-t'echnical men ; it is clearly 
printed, well bound and contains 'a com- 
prehensive index. It will be sent post- 
paid by Park and Cemetery for $1.60, 
Mr. Charles Mulford Robinson, of 
Rochester, N. Y., has long been recog- 
nized as one of the leading authorities 
in this country on city improvement and 
his books, “Modern Civic Art” and “The 
Improvement of Towns and Cities,” 
have become the standard works on the 
subjects of which they treat, Mr. Rob- 
inson has just written a new book, “The 
Call of the City,” in which he departs 
from the more technical phase of his 
subject, and in a dozen short graceful 
essays, pictures the city’s charm. In- 
cidentally there is a revelation of its 
own hold upon people — a hold which 
many feel. Much is heard in these 
days of the “call of nature,” but the 
phenomenal growth of urban population 
is proof sufficient that also insistent and 
persuasive is the call of the city. This, 
Mr. Robinson ably and entertainingly
