play at the Library near the charging
desk, and If the one you want is out
it will be reserved for you upon re-
quest
A few new books on this subject
have been purchased this spring
which deserve special mention. They
are as follows:

gestions as to when and where to

ven planting charts.
A Plea for Hardy Plants; by J. w,
Elliott. "Qne dollar" the author
says" intelligently spent on the

March number is unusually attractive
and contains some verv useful tables.
Why not give the children a little
