A New Garden Book. 
Common Sense Gardens; How to 
Plan and Plant Them; by Cornelius V. 
V. Sewell; the Grafton Press, New 
York; Price, $2.00. . 
This handsome garden book has been 
designed to point out to owners of 
small places how to plant their grounds 
at a reasonable expense ; how to use 
the best known indigenous trees and 
proper shrubs and plants for the situa- 
tion. The most appropriate garden for 
small grounds, says the author, is the 
one that can be best described as a 
cross between the formal garden of the 
South, and the old New England yard, 
as it contains features of both, judi- 
ciously blended. The book is handsome- 
ly and profusely illustrated and some 
idea of its plan and contents can be 
gained from the headings of some of 
the chapters which are as follows : 
Gardens of the North and South ; Lay- 
ing Out the Garden ; Choosing Shrubs 
and Small Trees : Fences and Hedges ; 
Filling in with Color; The Best Per- 
ennials for the Garden; A Small Water 
Garden.

Obituary. 
With the sudden death of Otto F. 
Dubuis, the superintendent and engineer , 
of the Park System of Peoria. 111 ., has | 
passed away one of the pioneers in the i 
profession of landscape gardening in 
the West. Mr. Dubuis was born in ' 
Geneva, Switzerland, of noble French 1 
parentage, his ancestors having found ! 
there a welcome shelter during the | 
Huguenot atrocities. He studied in 1 
Paris and came to Chicago in the early j 
’70’s, entering the employ of the firm 
of Jenney & Otis, of Chicago, who at 
that time were engaged in preparing j 
plans for the West Park System. Af- I 
ter the completion of the plans the West ! 
Chicago Park Commissioners engaged I 
Mr. Dubuis to carry them out and he [ 
served in this capacity for twenty years, j 
During the political shake-up of 1893, | 
Mr. Dubuis left the service of the West : 
Parks and a short time after was called 
to design a park system for the city of 
Peoria. His work in the latter city has
