REPORTS, ETC., RECEIVED. 
The “Transactions of the Massachu- 
setts Horticultural Society, Part 2,” con- 
tains the annual reports of officers 
and committees and a report of the 
annual meeting. The report of the 
committee on school gardens and 
native plants will be of particular in- 
terest. It is an illustrated record of 
the year’s work at most of the princi- 
pal school gardening centers of the 
country. There are abstracts of ad- 
dresses made at the Children’s Gar- 
den Conference held in Boston, De- 
cember, 1905, and reports from the 
different school gardens.

The Massachusetts Civic League in 
its report on legislation for the year 
1906 reports the unprecedented co-op- 
eration of individual members and al- 
lied organizations in a very success- 
ful year’s work. The league has tried 
the experiment of doing its legislative 
work without paid counsel and the re- 
sults have justified the experiment. 
During the past year the league rec- 
ommended five measures, four of 
which became law; opposed three, 
•all of which were defeated, co-operat- 
ed in supporting ten, seven of which 
became law, and approved three, two 
of which were passed. The league has 
just issued its leaflet Number 7 on 
Medical Inspection in the Public Schools, 
edited by Joseph Lee and Margaret 
Curtis. 
The West Virginia University Agri- 
cultural Experiment Station, Morgan- 
town, W. Va., has published Bulletin 
107, entitled, “A Test of Different 
Sprays for the San Jose Scale.” Fifty 
trees were chosen for the tests all 
more or less infested with the scale. 
Five different scale destroyers were 
used in the proportions of one gallon 
of solution to twenty gallons of wa- 
ter. Of these the “Target Brand.” 
manufactured by the American Horti- 
cultural Distributing Co., at Martins- 
burg, W. Va., gave the best results in 
tests. The report concludes that these 
concentrated soluble oil preparations 
are the most convenient to use of any 
of the scale destroyers. They mix 
readily with cold water and are not 
injurious either to the apparatus or 
the operator. None of them, how- 
ever, seem to possess the fungicidal 
properties of the lime and sulphur 
sprays.

The Holyhood Cemetery Associa- 
tion, Brookline, Mass., sends a hand- 
somely illustrated and printed book 
giving its articles of association and 
by-laws, forms for perpetual care and 
bequests, and some fine views of the 
cemetery grounds. 
PUBLISHER’S NOTES. 
Thomas Mays, for nineteen years 
superintendent of the New Forest 
Cemetery, Utica, N. Y., has resigned 
his position, and will remove to New 
York City. Mr. Mays is seventy years 
old and for twenty-six years before 
coming to New Forest was assistant 
superintendent of Forest Hill. After 
being in continuous cemetery service 
for forty-five years he feels that he 
has earned a retirement. Chas. Cram- 
er, who has been assistant superinten- 
dent for twenty years, has been ap- 
pointed to succeed Mr. Mays.

The Maine Agricultural Experi- 
ment Station will shortly begin a sys- 
tematic survey of the State with ref- 
erence to those diseases of plants 
(blight, rust, etc.), which are caused 
by parasitic fungi. To make this sur- 
vey as comprehensive as possible, 
correspondents are invited to send to 
the Station specimens of such dis- 
eased plants as come to their notice. 
These should be accompanied by the 
name and address of the collector, the 
date and place of collection; and if 
possible the name of the plant upon 
which the fungus is growing. All 
correspondence on this topic should 
be addressed to the Maine Agricul- 
tural Experiment Station, Orono, 
Maine. The receipt of all specimens
