A Key to the Genera of Woody Plants in Winter. By K. M. Wiegand 
and F. W. Foxworthy. Ithaca: Published by the authors. 1904. Pp. 
27. 25 cts. 
This little pamphlet is the only work of its kind in English that treats 
of cultivated as well as wild forms, and includes “ those with hardy repre¬ 
sentatives found growing wild or in cultivation within New York state.” 
In this manual a rather difficult task has been exceedingly well done, and

How to Know Wild Fruits. By Maude Gridley Peterson. New York: 
The MacMillan Co. 1905. Pp. xliii + 340. $1.50 net. 
This book fills a hitherto unoccupied niche in popular botany. Amateurs 
have at their disposal a large number of books for the identification of 
plants by their flowers. By the use of Wiegand and Foxworthy’s little 
manual trees and shrubs may be determined in winter when both flowers 
and leaves may be wanting. Miss Peterson’s book is “ a guide to plants 
when not in flower by means of fruit and leaf.” The plant families are 
arranged according to Engler and Prantl. Seven pages of the ecology of 
fruits and seeds, one page of definitions and a key of 26 pages are followed 
by detailed descriptions accompanied by illustrations in black and white. 
A glossary and indices of English and Latin names add to the usableness 
of the book. It will be welcomed by many teachers and others interested 
in knowing plants. C. S. G.
