THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
Our Book "Cable 
Popular Fruit Growing. sX x 7 M> 299 PP > illust. Author, S. B. 
Green, Professor of Horticulture and Forestry, University of 
Minnesota. The Webb Pub. Co., St. Paul. Price $1.00. 
This volume under date of February 15, 1909, is the second 
edition of this work which is a text designed for high schools and 
colleges. As its name indicates it treats the subject popularly. 
It is a book for the amateur rather than for the commercial grower 
of the East or the West. It includes three chapters on enemies of 
the orchard and how to control them, which in these days of speciali¬ 
zation are looked upon by the pomologist as belonging to the field of 
the entomologist and the plant pathologist. The book is the out¬ 
growth of the author’s experience as a teacher in a school of Agri¬ 
culture in Minnesota and represents a very admirable method of 
presenting a general view of fruit growing to a class of students in a 
school of secondary school grade. We should imagine that the 
volume would be of service in high schools and academies, or per¬ 
haps, county agricultural schools and undoubtedly of great value to 
the fruit grower in the upper Mississippi Valley. 
Beasley’s Christmas Party, by Booth Tarkington. Harper 
Brothers Company, New York. 
A whimsical tale that sparkles with good humor and bubbles 
over with life. It is in the same strain as others of Tarkington’s 
books and shows the same artistic touch and emphasis. It should 
have a place in the Nurseryman’s library for all will enjoy reading it. 
Northern Lights by Gilbert Parker. Harper Brothers Company. 
The predominating note in this collection of stories is that of 
native manhood and the virility of the out-of-doors men and women. 
The stories possess that strength and fire that makes Parker’s 
works so fascinating and inspiring. It is refreshing to leave the 
problem novels and turn to these pages so full of red-blooded life and 
incident; there is a spirit of the out-of-doors in all of them.
