A Comprehensive Plan for the Im- 
provement of San Diego, by John Nolen, 
Landscape architect, of Cambridge, 
Mass., is all its name implies, and is 
noticed on another page. Reports of 
similar scope have recently been pre-i 
pared by Charles Mulford Robinson 
for Ridgewood, N. J., and Cedar Rap- 
ids, la. We expect to give more 
extended space to these reports in a 
later issue. 
The Worcester County Horticultur- 
al Society, of Worcester, Mass., holds 
an interesting series of twelve meet- 
ings during the winter for discussion 
of a wide variety of topics connected 
with horticulture. The Society owns 
a four-story building with a well 
equipped library, assembly hall, ban- 
quet rooms, and other conveniences 
for members. George C. Rice is 
president of the society and Adin A. 
Hixon secretary. 
The Massachusetts Agricultural Ex- 
periment Station, Amherst, Mass., has 
issued in Bulletin No. 125 a valuable 
manual on shade trees that will be of 
much use to any one interested in 
the care of trees. It includes illus- 
trated discussions on every problem 
concerned with shade trees, by such 
experts as Prof. George E. Stone, E. 
A. Start and H. T. Fernald. 
“The Peony” is the title of Bulletin 
259 of the Cornell Agricultural Ex- 
perimental Station, Ithaca, N. Y. It is 
a complete illustrated manual by J. 
Eliot Coit, formerly of this college, 
but now Professor of Horticulture 
at the Agricultural Experiment Sta- 
tion at Tucson, Ariz., who has been in 
charge of the peony studies conducted 
for the American Peony Society. 
The annual report of the Massachu- 
setts Civic League contains reports of 
the officers and of committees on Bill- 
boards, Drunkenness, Plousing, Play- 
grounds, Probation, Town Room and 
Village Improvement. Edward T. 
Hartman, 3 Joy St., Boston, is secre- 
tary. 
Elmhurst, the new modern ceme- 
tery of Joliet, 111., has issued a de- 
A N Y kind of a 
drive or walkcan 
be freed from 
weeds for 2 years 
and its conditions 
otherwise improved 
by one application of 
the weed extermin- 
ator. 
“HERBICIDE” 
It will not injure steel, iron 
marble or stone. Needs 
only a watering cart to 
apply. One 48 gallon cask, 
costing $35.00, will clear 
34 -mile of roadway, 18 feet 
wide. Just mix with water 
and apply. Its results are 
absolutely certain and 
lasting. Quicker, surer, 
cheaper and more lasting 
than any imitation. Its 
record proves > its value. 
Witness this letter: 
‘‘We tried the ke^ of “HERBICIDE’ 
seiit us and are so vjell pleased with 
it that we zvill now use it in good 
earnest. Please send two barrels 
as soon as possibled^

therefore cheaper.
