ganic whole, and with its enemies. It is divided into four chapters. 
Professor F. A. Waugh,'an occasional contributor to our columns, is 
the author of “ Landscape Gardening,” a treatise on the general prin¬ 
ciples governing outdoor art. The treatment of fundamental principles 
forms the key note of this work. The analysis enables the reader to 
see the relation of each fact and principle discussed to all the rest, to 
appreciate its relative importance and easily to remember the whole. 
The author possesses the rare art of condensation in a high degree, so that 
the reader of this work secures a great deal of information in small com¬ 
pass. The book will be useful to a large class of readers; not only to 
the professional landscape gardeners, owners of home grounds, sub¬ 
urban residents, park and cemetery superintendents and teachers, but 
also to landscape painters, photographers and art lovers and students 
in general. Illustrated, 12mo., 150 pp., cloth. 50 cents. New York: 
Orange Judd Co. 
The tenth annual report of the Missouri Botanical Garden has been 
issued by the director, Dr. William Trelease, under the direction of the 
board of trustees. In addition to the administrative reports for 1898 
and two scientific papers, the volume contains a sketch of the late Dr. 
E. Lewis Sturtevant, who gave his valuable botanical library to the 
garden, a list of publications issued from the garden in 1897 and 1898, 
a list of the serial publications received at the garden library, and com. 
prehensive indexes to the contents of the ten annual reports of the gar 
den. The sketch of Dr. Sturtevant is of interest generally because of 
his deep study of botanical and agricultural subjects and the many 
valuable publications which resulted from that study. He was for a 
time the director of the Agricultural Experiment Station at Geneva, 
N. Y., and to him is due the commencement of the broad work done 
there. The Missouri Botanical Garden is in a very prosperous condi¬ 
tion. Extensive improvements are effected each year. It is a great 
credit to its founder, Henry Shaw, and a notable addition to the coun¬ 
try’s prominent institutions. Since the visit of the nurserymen to the 
garden in June, 1897, they have taken special interest in it.
