BOOKS. REPORTS, ETC. 
The Iris Manual, by C. S. Harrison, 
York, Nebr., is another of those prac- 
tical little hand books of Mr. Har- 
rison who has made a life study at the 
York Experiment Station of Irises, 
Peonies, Evergreens and other vege- 
tation suitable to western conditions. 
The book embodies a vast fund of 
working facts gathered from experi- 
ence, condensed into its 30 pages. It 
gives simple, easily understood de- 
scriptions of the different varieties, 
their classification, with directions for 
propagation and cultivation. The last 
paragraph contains some succinct ad- 
vice to Iris Buyers that is worth 
quoting, as follows: “As there are 
probably 1,000 named Irises and others 
on the way, don’t expect every dealer 
will have what you call for. Many of 
them have only 20 or 30 varieties, 
enough to begin with. Newer vari- 
eties are very rare and though you 
may be eager for them you may have 
to wait and then pay a large price. 
Better confine yourself to what dealers 
offer rather than try to get them to 
secure others. Many dealers have 
quite a large variety they cannot list

Comas Siberica c/llba- 
-Red TMgged Dog')t>ood. A most beautiful Shrub 
as well as a hedge plant; for 
winter effect its stems and 
branches are a bright crim- 
son.. Unlike many of the 
other Dogwoods, it is suited 
for hedge work, as many of 
them will not stand pruning. 
This variety originated in 
Siberia and is a special strain 
there being a number of 
others much like it, but not 
so hardy or brightly colored, 
its hardiness and winter col- 
oring makes it very attractive 
for City Hedging; it is also 
valuable for clumping in 
shrubs.
