BOOKS, REPORTS, RECEIVED. 
“Sewage Disposal,” by Ogden and 
Cleveland, recently published by John 
Wiley & Sons, of New York, is de- 
signed to meet in a simple practical 
way the demands of modern sanita- 
tion with regard to the disposal of 
sewage. In their respective positions, 
the authors have each received scores, 
if not hundreds, of letters asking for 
information on how to build a septic 
tank and how to get rid of the sewage 
from a country house. The pages of 
this book represent an attempt to 
answer these questions in a more gen- 
erous way than is possible in individ- 
ual letters, and to explain the subject 
of Sewage Disposal to such an extent 
that a small plant may be constructed 
with a reasonable expectation of suc- 
cessful operation. The book sells for 
$1.60 postpaid, and may be ordered 
from Park and Cemetery. 
The eighteenth volume of the Year- 
book (1911) has just been issued by 
the United States Department of 
Agriculture. In appearance and make- 
up it differs but little from its pre- 
decessors. It contains thirty-one 
articles, sixty-seven full-page illustra- 
tions, of which nine are colored, and 
twenty text figures. The deserv- 
edly large place which the general 
farmer, the fruit grower, the trucker, 
and the grower of special crops hold 
in the thought and activities of the 
department is demonstrated by the 
articles on the “Promising new fruits,” 
“Seasonable distribution of labor on 
the farm,” “Some results of the farm- 
For Quicker Greenhouse Deliveries 
T O get a greenhouse job to do is one thing— to get the job 
done when you want it done is quite another thing. 
If you are in a hurry for your house, we are in just as 
much of a hurry as you are. 
Never, in our half a century and more of business, have 
we been turning out houses with such speed. 
Our Western Factory at Des Plaines, Illinois, is a new 
one — up-to-date in every particular. 
The entire Eastern Factory at Irvington, New York, 
haslpractically been rebuilt and modernized. The handling 
of the work more carefully systematized. 
All this is telling, and telling big in both the speed and 
quality of our work. 
If you want the best of work and quickest work possible — 
you want us. Write at once and let’s get things started.
