Books, Reports, Etc., Received 
One of the finest of the elaborate 
city plan reports that has yet been is- 
sued is “Better Binghamton,” prepared 
by Charles Mulford Robinson for Bing- 
hamton, N. Y., and issued by the Mer- 
cantile-Press Club of that city. It is a 
profusely illustrated, handsomely print- 
ed, permanently bound book of 200 
pages that makes suggestive recom- 
mendations for the betterment of 
Binghamton in every phase of its civic 
life. In many particulars the work pre- 
sented unusual features, and a careful 
study of this report is highly interest- 
ing and instructive. The Mercantile- 
Press Club engaged Mr. Robinson at 
its own expense, and is now distribut- 
ing the city plan in its attractive form 
which contains a supplementary section 
devoted to the various phases of life 
in Binghamton as the city is today. The 
book is furnished at less than cost, 
$1.25 postpaid, and is well worth it to 
anyone interested in city planning. Al- 
ready much interest has been mani- 
fested, copies having been sold to many 
of the larger colleges and universities 
and public and state libraries. Inquiries 
and orders for the book should be sent 
to the secretary, Mercantile-Press club, 
Binghamton, N. Y.

Doubleday, Page & Co., Garden 
City, N. Y., have just issued their 
Garden and Farm Almanac for 1912, a 
compendium of a vast quantity of in- 
formation for anybody who uses the 
soil. The 1912 issue is bigger, better 
and larger than ever. Owners of farms, 
gardens and country places, or city 
folks interested in them, have generally 
found this almanac admirably fitted to 
their needs. All the features on which 
this approval has been based, and sev- 
eral new ones, all interestingly pre-
