THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN

well lived, and I pray God to bring him home to that re¬ 
ward he so justly earned. 
“May God grant peace and rest to him eternally.” 
Personally, Mr. Barry was a man of democratic man¬ 
ners, affable and always approachable. He had a dis¬ 
tinguished presence, dignified yet kindly. He was num¬ 
bered among the most charitable and philanthropic men 
of Rochester, as well as among the most public spirited. 
Mr. Barry was prominent in Rochester social circles and 
was a member of the Genesee Valley and Country Clubs. 
Mr. Barry leaves three sons, William C. Barry, Jr., Ar¬ 
thur A., and Frederick G. Barry; a daughter, Mrs. 
Charles H. Stearns, of Mt. Hope* avenue, and a sister, 
Mrs. Bernhard Liesching. Mr. Barry’s wife, Mary Louise 
Gaffney Barry, whom he married on February 11, 1874, 
died nearly five years ago.

A BOOK OF GARDEN PLANS 
A Book of Garden Plans, by Stephen F. Hamblin, is 
published by Doubleday, Page & Co., Garden City, N. Y. 
The book is rather an unusual one as it contains 20 
blue print plans and planting lists for each, and photo¬ 
graphs to illustrate the basic idea. 
The author has not aimed to offer ready made plans 
that would fit all properties and conditions but rather to 
illustrate how a landscape architect would meet definite 
conrlitions. 
The lists are evidently especially adapted for northern 
planting, and on the whole may be considered safe, as 
they are composed of plants easily procurable and of 
kinds that grow very readily. 
Plans and lists are also given for special features, such 
as Rose Garden, Wild Garden, Natural Rock Garden, 
Water Garden, etc. 
The book is beautifully gotten up and sells for -$2.00 
net. 
FERTILIZERS 
The MacMillan Company. 66 Fifth Avenue, New York, 
have published another book that is an important addi¬ 
tion to their Rural Science Series. 
It is on the subiect of Fertilizers, by E. B. Voorhees. 
revised by John H. Voorhees and edited by L. H. Bailey. 
As everyone knows, soil fertility is the one great un¬ 
derlying act of all agricultural and horticultural opera¬ 
tions. It is what capital is to the banker. It not only 
must be there but it must be active and available. 
Fertilizing is the ever present problem and this work 
should do much to help each individual to solve his own. 
It is practical in every sense of the word, at the same time 
bringing the knowledge and science of the chemist and 
professor within the grasp of the practical farmer, and 
horticulturist, so he can apply it to his own profit. 
The price of the book is $1.50 and should be a good in¬ 
vestment to all who work the soil. 
THE PRUNING MANUAL 
Very likely the mental attitude of the average nur¬ 
seryman towards a new book on the subject of pruning 
will be one of indifference. 
If such is the case it will he the nurseryman’s loss. 
The writer has to personally plead guilty to a feeling of 
boredom when the Pruning Manual by Prof. L. H. Bailey 
came to his desk for review. This however did not last 
longer than it took to look into its pages. 
The work is really the eighteenth edition of the Prun¬ 
ing Book revised and reset, which was first published in 
1898. 
It will prove to the practitioner who will read it there 
is progress in the knowledge of our profession as well 
as in others. 
Like all of the author’s works it is very practical and
