“The Luquillo Forest Reserve, Porto 
Rico,” is the title of Bulletin No. 54 of 
the Bureau of Forestry, giving an inter- 
esting description of this forest reserve. 
It embraces about 65,950 acres, and the 
main portion is so rugged that it is still 
a practically unexplored virgin tropical 
wilderness. About 50 per cent of it is 
in forest land and coffee estate, and 30 
per cent government land unclaimed by 
private owners. The report contains 
much interesting illustrative and de- 
scriptive matter of the flora of the re- 
serve. 
The fourth annual report of the 
School of Horticulture of the Handicraft 
Schools of Hartford, for the year 1904, 
records the most productive year in its 
history, although the number of garden 
pupils was smaller than last year, owing 
to the fact that no free gardens were 
given out. The course of instruction 
was pursued on the same general lines 
as in previous years, the work of which 
has been described in these columns. 
There were 169 pupils in attendance on 
the twelve courses given, the instruction 
including gardening, window gardening, 
nature work, agriculture, botany, horti- 
culture, and an apprentice course. 
The Transactions of the Illinois State 
Horticultural Society for 1904 contains 
a complete report of all the proceedings 
up to the close of the year, including a 
stenographic report of all the discussions 
at the meetings of the State and three 
District societies. The subjects dis- 
cussed cover a large part of the field of 
Horticulture, including orcharding, 
small fruit culture, viticulture, vegetable 
gardening, floriculture, forestry, soil in- 
vestigations, food value of fruits, home 
adornment and practical education. 
This book is well bound and contains 
about 570 pages, and besides the report 
there is much other valuable informa- 
tion, such as formulas for making and 
directions for applying fungicides and 
insecticides, etc., the whole carefully in- 
dexed for ready reference. The report 
is sent free to all members of the so- 
ciety, but is too expensive for general 
distribution. Those desiring copies 
should address the secretary, L. R. Bry- 
ant, Princeton, 111 ., for further informa- 
tion. 
C. P. Close, Horticulturist of the Del- 
aware College Experiment Station, 
Newark, Del., has given much attention 
to developing and perfecting four kero- 
sene-limoid mixtures, which are reported 
Entrance Gates, 
etc., for ParKs 
and Cemeteries.
