The report of the 44th annual meeting of the 
Western New York Horticultural Society has 
now been issued. This contains papers read be¬ 
fore the meeting, and discussions upon them. 
The R. N.-Y. printed the greater part of these 
papers at the time of the meeting. The report 
will be a valuable reference book to horticultur¬ 
ists generally, as it covers a number of import¬ 
ant points, and contains a great deal of special 
information. 
How to Plan the Home Grounds, by S. Parsons 
Jr. just issued, is an attractive volume of 246 
pages, freely illustrated. Mr. Parsons, who was, 
for a number of years, Superintendent of Parks, 
New York City, has had wide experience as a 
landscape architf ct, and he tells what he knows, 
in an interesting fashion. His advice concern¬ 
ing grading, road-building and other practical 
details is excellent and plainly put. Fences, 
bridges and Summer-houses are discussed, and 
forms are given for contracts and specifications. 
There is a copious and well-selected list of plants, 
trees, shrubs and vines for use on home grounds, 
and suggestions for cemetery work. The one 
feature in the book which we are disposed to 
criticise is the absence of capitalization in 
botanical names. Why should Vitis Colgnetiie 
be printed vitis coignetias, etc. 7 Many authori¬ 
ties drop capitals from varietal names which 
are geographical or personal, but the specific 
name should 6urely be capitalized, whenever 
followed by the varietal name. There are, also, 
some errors in the spelling of botanical names, 
Andromeda Catesbffii appears twice as andro- 
meda catesbli, while among varietal names, we 
find sypho for sipho, europsenus for Europmus, 
van houttii for Van Houttei, calleopsls for Calli. 
opsis, novaea-angliaea for Novae-Angliae, etc. In 
preparing a book for the aid of amateurs, there 
is even more need than usual for rigid accuracy. 
The book may be obtained at this office, price SI 
Unlike any other harrow leaves no mark behind, it pul¬ 
verizes the center that all other harrows leave, the extra 
disc does it; the only harrow made that will do it. Agents 
wanted in unoccupied territory.
