BOOKS AND PUBLICATIONS. 
“The Book of Grasses,” by Mary E. 
Francis, recently issued by Doubleday, 
Page & Co., Garden City, N. Y., as an- 
other volume of their “Nature Library,” is 
one of the most elaborate, handsome and 
complete works on this subject ever writ- 
ten, and will be of much interest to ama- 
teur and professional alike. This is the 
first book written for the amateur which 
takes up in a simple yet comprehensive 
way the common and rare species of grass. 
The work is thoroughly scientific in its 
treatment without being forbidding or dull. 
The author has a vast amount of most in- 
teresting matter and the layman is aston- 
ished in reading Miss Francis’ volume to 
discover a wealth of beauty and variety 
in what is oftentimes regarded as a rather 
unattractive side of nature. The illustra- 
tions are very beautiful and are the result 
of painstaking care and selection. They 
are all from original photographs by Ar- 
thur Eldredge and H. H. Knight, of Cor- 
nell University. Sixteen of these have 
been reproduced in full-page color plates, 
while sixty-four are in black and white. 
The book contains 350 pages, is hand- 
somely bound and printed, and sells for 
$4.35, postpaid, by Doubleday, Page & Co., 
Garden City, L, I., N. Y. 
“Colorado Springs, the City Beautiful,” 
is the title of a very interesting, thorough 
and complete report on a general plan for 
the improvement of Colorado Springs, 
prepared by Charles Mulford Robinson, of 
Rochester, N. Y. It treats in a definite, 
suggestive way of every phase of civic de- 
velopment under the general heads : Steam 
Railroads ; Street Plan ; Street Develop- 
ment; Recreation Provision, and Miscel- 
laneous, and shows many illustrations of 
good and bad practice in city planning. 
Mr. Robinson sends with the report a 
brief note, as follows : “It is a regret to 
the author that in the publication of this 
report the local authorities adopted ‘The 
City Beautiful’ as a secondary title. As 
the text reveals, the city convenient and 
efficient was the object mainly sought. Yet 
the persistent popularity of the old phrase, 
as thus evidenced even in official circles, is 
significant and interesting.”
