of Commerce and contemplate an ex- 
tensive scheme of beautifying the entire 
city. Mr. Robinson is well known to 
our readers as the author of “The Im- 
provement of Towns and Cities,” and 
as the efficient Secretary of the Amer- 
ican Park and Outdoor Art Association. 
On the merger which resulted in the 
American Civic Association, Mr. Robin- 
son was elected its Secretary, but has 
been obliged to resign, owing to a pres- 
sure of personal affairs which renders it 
impossible for him to make the neces- 
sary sacrifice of time. 
Our contemporary American Garden- 
ing, of New York, whose recent change 
of management and marked improve- 
ment was noticeable, has been obliged 
to suspend publication. 
With the passing of the American 
Gardening comes the initial number of 
Horticulture, edited by William J. 
Stewart, Boston, Mass. The purpose of 
the new publication is “to advance the 
interests and elevate the standards of 
American horticulture." Mr. Stewart's 
many friends among the florists and hor- 
ticulturists of this country will wish him 
more encouragement than has been given 
to other publishers that have tried to 
win out in the same field. The first 
number makes a very creditable show- 
ing. 1’he signed articles by well known 
experts and the generous advertising 
patronage bespeak success. 
Mr. and Mrs. William Salway, of 
Cincinnati, returned in November from 
a trip to the British Isles. Soon after 
their return, Mrs. Salway was bereaved 
by the death of her mother, Mrs. 
Catherine A. Stokes. Mrs. Stokes was 
84 years of age. The funeral was at 
Hartford, Conn., and was attended by 
Mr. and Mrs. Salway. 
Country Life in America's Christmas 
Annual is even larger, with more sump- 
tuously printed color pages and illustra- 
tions, this year than last, and it is cer- 
tainly one of the most striking maga- 
zine publications of the month. A most 
elaborate feature of the number is 
“Christmas Fruits — Where They Grow,” 
by J. Horace McFarland, illustrating the 
rare and common fruits of every clime 
on many pages in superb color. One of 
unusual human interest is the story of 
“Caldwell, the Woodsman” and the 
gathering of Southern evergreen decora- 
tions for the Northern Christmas. A 
great many other articles deal with 
widely varying subjects; for instance, 
“Christmas on an Orchard Farm” is a 
true story of an agricultural success by 
L. H. Bailey; “Christmas for the Birds 
and Animals,” by A. Radclyffe Dug- 
more, is the photographically illustrated 
ESTABLISHED 1844.
