ten inquisitive on the point, and it is well 
they should be, as the practice is one of 
the best to prohibit pests and secure spot¬ 
less fruit. What is known as the winter 
moth does great harm to trees and fruit. 
It crawls up the sterns, deposits its eggs 
on the trees, then hosts of depredators 
follow. To prevent this there is only one 
remedy, and that is to tie greasy bands 
round the stems. Fold these round each 
stem about one yard up on the standards, 
and wherever they can be placed on the 
bushes. Fix them on with a strip of bag¬ 
ging, top and bottom, with the greasy side 
outwards. Every tree should be so 
treated. W. R. G.

Frances A. Bardswell. Illustrated. Cloth,

The experienced writer of this book has 
collected an invaluable amount of matter 
relating to sea-coast planting, a subject of 
much importance in these days of shore 
dwellers. Trees, shrubs, vines and plants 
for sea-coast situations are taken up in 
separate chapters as are many other mat¬ 
ters along this line. 
Year Book and Who’s Who in Horticulture. 
A daily reference for the British Garden 
Lover. Paper, i6mo, 244 pp. London: 
Cable Printing & Publishing Co. is. net. 
As its title indicates this good-sized 
pamphlet is more particularly intended for 
the readers of the British Isles, and 
therefore will not prove of material ser¬ 
vice to American gardeners. 
A Little Maryland Garden. By Helen Ashe 
Hayes. Illustrated from water colors by 
Zulma De L. Steele. Cloth, 8vo, gilt top 
201 pp". New York: G. P. Putnam’s Sons. 
$1.75 net. 
This book is in the nature of a personal 
experience of an amateur gardener. It is 
delightful reading, and full of suggestions 
the maker of a little garden will be de¬ 
lighted to glean. 
Who’s Who Among the Wild Flowers. By 
W. I. Beecroft. Illustrated. Cloth, i6mo, 
359 PP- New York: Moffat, Yard and 
Company. $1.20 net. 
This book should prove indispensable 
to the untechnical lover of wild flowers. 
It is soundly scientific but written for na¬ 
ture lovers, and not merely for botanists 
as so many technical works are. It does 
not presuppose a knowledge of botany, the 
main finding classification being based on 
color. The' book is copiously illustrated 
with excellent drawings that instantly pre¬ 
sent a plant’s flower characteristics and 
there could scarcely be a more convenient 
and handy volume to carry about on one’s 
tramps through the woods. 
IF YOU WANT HEALTHFUL HEATING 
YOU MUST HAVE GOOD VENTILATION

Good Ventilation Means an Abundance of Good 
Fresh Air Properly Warmed in Every Room 
The health and comfort of your family depends more than you think , per¬ 
haps, on the quality of air they breathe. Physicians and others, interested in 
sanitary conditions, vigorously condemn heating systems with radiators in the 
rooms because they heat and reheat the same air which soon becomes foul 
and positively unfit to breathe. THINK THIS OVER AND SEND 
FOR HEALTH HEATING PAMPHLET AND BOOKLETS WHICH 
EXPLAIN THE BEST METHOD OF FRESH AIR HEATING. 
THE KELSEY WARM AIR GENERATOR 
Sometimes called THE AIR TUBE HEATER, has been installed by 
thousands WHO INVESTIGATED in preference to other systems. 
NOT ONLY because the KELSEY WARMS GREAT VOLUMES OF 
AIR MODERATELY AND PROPERLY AND FORCES INTO 
EVERY ROOM—no matter how large the house—but because it is most 
easily managed and regulated AND COSTS LESS TO INSTALL, AND 
MUCH LESS FOR FUEL AND REPAIRS THAN ANY OTHER 
SYSTEM that will give anything like as good results.
