Trade Publications Received 
The Peterson Nursery, Chicago, issue 
a book entitled “Beautiful Grounds,” 
which is one of the best of the many fine 
nursery books, and one of the finest spec- 
imens of printing and engraving that has 
come to our notice. It is printed 
throughout on enameled paper that dis- 
plays the half-tones to best advantage, 
and has an artistic two-colored embossed 
cover. It is a practical manual of in- 
formation for planters, and does not con- 
tain prices. It offers many suggestions 
for artistic planting, and illustrates some 
fine examples of the firm’s work. The 
book is arranged under the following 
heads: History; practical information 
and suggestions, landscape department ; 
cultural suggestions ; ornamental trees ; 
flowering shrubs ; vines ; hardy herba- 
ceous perennials; peonies; hardy fruits; 
evergreens, and typical effects. Under 
the latter head is given a list of trees, 
shrubs and vines, suitable for different 
effects, different seasons, and situations.
