by month and tables by which to plant 
many kinds of flowers. On the pages 
of the latter half of the hook are printed 
green trellises overgrown with pink 
flowers, the white spaces between the 
bars being designed to receive entries 
of the plantings. It is a pretty album 
made for jotting down the notes of a 
pleasant recreation. 
MORE SERIOUS GARDEN ACCOUNTS* 
IVjR. LORING UNDERWOOD 
provides a page for each day of 
the year with blank spaces in which to 
write the names of plants started on 
their way to bloom, with comments on 
the weather, and the expense involved. 
Provision is made for a record covering 
four years so that the gardener may 
profit by his own past experience. Each 
page also contains short comments and 
helpful suggestions, which are indexed at 
the end of the book for reference to any 
particular information desired. This 
index is ingenious and useful. It lists 
the plants alphabetically by their com¬ 
mon names and refers to the date on 
which each variety was set in the ground, 
so that the methodical gardener may 
constantly have by him a reference book 
of no small value. 
NEW TREE DISCOVERED 
I ^HE new locust tree discovered 
last year in Louisiana, near 
Shreveport, by Professor R. S. Cocks, of 
the Chair of Botany of Tulane Univer¬ 
sity, has just been pronounced by C. H. 
Sargent, of Harvard Phtiversity,to be one 
of the few recent discoveries of new trees 
in the United States. 
The new tree has not yet been named, 
but technically it will likely be named for 
its discoverer, after the usual custom. 
It is a species of locust, and is differ¬ 
entiated from the two known locusts 
principally by its pod and seeds. The 
ordinary honey locust has a pod about 
twelve inches long, containing about 
twenty seeds, while the other known 
locust has a pod about an inch long con¬ 
taining one seed. The tree discovered 
by Professor Cocks has a pod about three 
inches long, with three seeds in it. 
Professor Cocks’ attention was called 
to the tree by two high school students
