The Landscape Beautiful, a 
Stud^^ of the Utility of the National 
Landscape, Its Relation to Human 
Life and Happiness, with the Applica- 
tion of These Principles in Landscape 
Gardening and in Art in General. By 
Frank A. Waugh. 
A decidedly new method of im- 
parting at one and the same time 
knowledge and appreciation of the 
“Landscape,” is this latest work of 
Professor Waugh, Professor of Hor- 
ticulture and Landscape Gardening 
in the klassachusetts Agricultural 
College, Amherst, Mass. The theme 
throughout is the beauty and utility 
of the natural landscape and whether 
in the hands of the student or lay 
reader there is an appeal in every 
chapter to the sense, hidden so often 
and so much by circumstances, of the 
relation which the landscape bears to 
our common human life. The author 
insists, and that invitingly, that “the 
love of the beautiful is a large part 
of all men’s lives, and that the enjoy- 
ment of beauty is one of the great 
experiences in every life.” This is 
bound to be admitted by the common 
intelligence, and the methods, style 
and language used by the author, 
makes the book as valuable to the 
student as to the reader who is sure 
to be interested not only in the sub- 
ject itself but in the splendid and 
appropriate illustrations presented in 
its pages. The book is published by 
the Orange Judd Co., handsomely 
bound. Price, $3.00.

It will keep down the caterpillars and tus- 
sock moths. Don’t wait until the leaves 
have come out, and the crawlers are in the 
trees eating up the tender leaves. The way 
to control the pests and save yOur trees is to 
stop them before they start. 
All banding substances like cotton, bur- 
lap, fly paper or tar do not do the work. Un- 
sightly cotton is carried off by the birds. Fly 
paper does not fill in between rough spaces 
of bark, allowing caterpillar to crawl under 
it, and the stickiness dries up, allowing them 
to crawl over it; burlap they also crawl over 
and under. Smeared-on tar preparations dry 
up besides disfiguring the trees for all the year.
