Annual report of the Tree Planting 
and Fountain Society of Brooklyn, N. Y., 
December, 1898. One can scarcely over- 
estimate the value of this report as re- 
gards the features of municipal care and 
improvement to which it is devoted. In 
the present issue we have a series of notes 
on ornamental trees, giving their prom- 
inent characteristics, with suggestive re- 
marks concerning them. These notes 
may be studied carefully with both inter- 
est and profit. There is considerable 
matter given on insect enemies and means 
for their destruction, and a very valuable 
feature of the entire report is the able 
manner in which the care ot trees is set 
forth and the results of such care in the 
development of the tree and its bearing 
upon the duty the tree is called upon to 
perform. The report has a copious index 
which greatly enhances its usefulness. 
'I'here is a crying need for the formation 
of such societies all over our country, and 
to further a good cause much information 
may be obtained at the headquarters of 
the Brooklyn .Society, 177 Remsen street, 
Brooklyn, N. Y. 
I'he Minnesota State Forestry Associa- 
tion. which was incorporated in 1876, has 
just issued a folder and other printed 
matter containing the constitution, fin.in- 
cial statement and particulars concerning 
its work. It makes constant effort to in- 
vite CO operation, and issues considerable 
valuable literature on Forestry culture. 
The membership fee is only $1 and there 
are no after fees. To further attract 
membership, it is offering Prof. Cireen’s 
c mrprehensive book, “Forestry in Minne- 
sota,’ two assortments of seedling trees 
and membership for ipi.ai;. Surely this 
should be inducement enough to join such 
a laud.ible state a-sociation.
