William P. Stark, Stark City, Missouri, is the author 
and publisher of a book of eighty-eight pages on the sub¬ 
ject of “Inside Facts of Profitable Fruit Growing.” 
The name of the author is sufficient guarantee of the 
practical value of the work. It is a true chart and com¬ 
pass for the beginner as well as a reference for the ex¬ 
pert orchardist. 
Presumably it is for free distribution among his cus¬ 
tomers. 'Mr. Stark evidently has the larger and broader 
view of the nursery business, which raises his profession 
far beyond the mere commercial act of growing and sell¬ 
ing trees. 
EOOK 
A splendid little book has just been published by the 
American Book Co., 100 Washington Square, New York, 
under the title of Farm Shop Work, by Brace and Maync. 
For simplicity and clearness it would be hard to beat, 
not only in the text but in the line drawings with which 
it is copiously illustrated. 
It is primarily written for the pupils in agricultural 
schools but we cannot imagine a book that would be 
more useful to the farmer, it is so intensely practical, 
and to the farmer’s hoy, or any other boy who is likely 
tc be interested in the working of wood, metal, leather or 
cement it should prove invaluable. 
The price is $1.00 postpaid. 
EVERGREEN COVER PLANTS 
There is a big field to be developed in the growing and 
marketing of evergreen cover plants. They are grown 
in a small way both by the nurserymen and florists. 
The Vinca minor or Periwinkle is perhaps best known 
of them all and on this account is the steadiest in demand, 
being used largely in cemeteries. However, the plant 
has its limitations in adaptability, being more partial to 
moisture and partial shade than it is to dryness and 
sunny exposure. 
English Ivy is another good ground cover for many 
localities and positions. While usually classed as a 
climbing plant it is really one of the best ground cover 
plants there is when properly planted and looked after. 
In city yards there are always positions that are 
shaded either by buildings or trees that are hopeless for 
growing flowering plants and almost for grass; that cry 
aloud for something to relieve the bareness. In such 
positions the English Ivy i’> one of the very best cover 
plants. 
Pachysandra terniinilis is in great demand by land¬ 
scape gardeners and is a splendid evergreen cover plant 
that looks attractive all the winter, the thick glossy 
leaves forming a dense mat. It succeeds well either in 
full sunshine or partial shade. It spreads by means of 
root stocks. Where it is necessary to propagate large 
quantities and stock is low, (‘liftings will be found to be 
a ready method as they root very readily in sand in early 
spring.
