BOOKS, REPORTS, ETC. 
P''of. L. H. Bailey, of Cornell Uni- 
versity, has become a household name 
in practical gardening for all classes, 
and his latest work, “ilanual of Gar- 
dening,” which is a combination and 
revision of the main parts of two other 
of his books, ‘‘Garden Making” and 
“Practical Garden Book,” and to which 
is added much new material, is an addi- 
tion to the gardening library which 
should be in great demand. It is a 
practical guide to the making of home 
grounds and the growing of flowers, 
fruits and vegetables for home use; and 
it includes the added experience of the 
last ten years of Prof. Bailey’s remark- 
ably active life in promoting the inter- 
ests of gardening and horticulture. In 
his e.xplanation the author gives due 
credit to those who collaborated in the 
volumes named above, and whose con- 
trilnitions have been freely used in this 
one: for instance: to Mr. C. E. Hunn, a 
gardener of long experience; Prof. 
Ernest Walker, reared as a commercial 
florist; Prof. L. R. Taft and Prof. F. A. 
Waugh, rvell known for their studies 
and writings on horticultural subjects. 
The work is profusely illustrated with 
half-tones, pen drawings and diagrams, 
and must he unusually attractive to 
those who take a delight in gardening 
and want to broaden out in their efforts. 
The work is published by the MacMil- 
lan Company, New York. Price $2.00. 
The very small volume of literature 
relating to parks makes the March is- 
sue of the Annals of the American 
.\cademy of Political and Social Science 
probabl}^ the most comprehensive vol- 
ume on park matters that has been pub- 
lished in this country. It forms a book 
of over two hundred pages treating of 
every phase of park development, his- 
tory and growth. It comes nearer be- 
ing a compendium of information on 
park ideas than any work published in 
recent years. It Is issued by the Amer- 
Strokum Stops Caterpillars 
Anyone Can Put It On 
Simply band it around your 
trees. No need to cut bark 
down smooth before applying, as 
Strokum fills up the bark chinks, 
and the caterpillars or tussock 
moths can’t crawl under it and 
won’t crawl over it. 
The second crop will soon be 
going up the trunks ; now is the 
time to put on Strokum. It lasts 
an entire season but does not stick 
to the bark all winter as do the 
unsightly smeared-on tar prepara- 
tions. 
Does not drj' up as does fly 
paper. Is not carried off by the 
birds as is cotton. 
Strokum is a purely vegetable product that we guarantee to be 
perfectly harmless. 
Send .‘i;3.00 at once for a sample package of fifteen pounds, 
which is enough to band fifteen trees, three feet around. Deliv- 
ered free anywhere East of the Mississippi ; 50c extra West of it.
