manipulation required in the production 
of all kinds of garden furniture. Pot- 
tering in concrete, if we may be al- 
lowed the use of such a term, has be- 
come such an attractive method of side 
line effort, but has unfortunately got 
into the hands of so many practically 
unfitted for it, that the material is fast 
earning a certain disrepute, and that 
solely from a lack of knowledge of how 
to properly ■ work in and with it. Mr. 
Davison's book with its 140 detail and 
general illustrations, will be an excel- 
lent foundation for better knowledge, 
The book has just been published by 
Munn & Co. Price $ 1 . 50 . Copies may 
be ordered from Park and Cemetery. 
Fourteenth Annual Report, 1909 , of 
the American Scenic and Historic 
Preservation Society to the legislature 
of the state of New York. This society 
founded by Andrew H. Green and in- 
corporated by the New York Legisla- 
ture in 1895 , has done a large amount 
of work, confined largely to the state of 
New York. The society is worthy of 
large accessions to its membership 
lists, and with more funds at its dis- 
posal more work would undoubtedly be 
done in the marking of historical build- 
ings and locations and the preservation 
of beauty spots. The report covers 
310 pages, and is interesting reading. 
PUBLISHER’S NOTES 
Mr. E. F. A. Reinisch, Engineer and 
Superintendent of Parks, Topeka, 
Kan., was appointed by the Governor of 
that state as a delegate to the Farm 
Land Congress in Chicago last month. 
report of his address before the 
Congress is given elsewhere. Mr. Rein- 
isch is hopeful of greater activity in 
the development of the parks of To- 
peka when the new city government by a 
commission goes into effect next spring. 
The city owns 150 acres of park land. 
From the Caldwell Lawn Mower Co., 
Newburgh, N. Y., comes a handsome 
quarto pamphlet describing the Hudson- 
Fulton celebration, the concluding pages 
of which give a condensed history of 
Thomas Coldwell and his. inventive ca- 
reer. It is a very interesting and finely 
illustrated production. The Coldwell 
!Mower Co. now touches the 100,000 
mark in the production of its lawn 
mowers, while forty years ago the an- 
nual output was 200. 
Charles Mulford Robinson, of Roch- 
ester, N. Y., has recently prepared a 
report on Fayetteville, N. Y., for the 
park commission of that city. It is a 
thorough study of the problems of 
the suburban town and offers many 
valuable suggestions for the future 
growth of the town along lines of 
beauty and progress. 
Park Superintendents now realize that only the strongest and light- 
est houses are worth putting up — that’s why we have been putting up 
houses for parks all over the country, and have more on the way. 
Look up the L & B construction before you decide on any house. 
It will save money all around.
