TREES, HERES, VINES AND HERBA-
CEOUS PERENNIALS."
BY John Kirkegaard. The Williams Book
Stores. publishers, 1923 Washington
street, Boston.
John I<irkegaard, in his very artistic
book entitled Trees Herbs, Vines and
Herbaceous Perennials," says that 'in
the preparation of the volume the pur-
pose continually in the mind of the au-
thor has been to afford a simple and con-
venient book of the ornamental trees
and plants hardy in this climate; simple,
yet concise. a guide valuable not only
to the amateur, but to the busy architect,
gardener or plantsman as we'll. Its form
has been suggested by the needs encoun-
tered during a long period of private
land commercial association with plants.
when the material here set forth would
at times have been most useful
1t is as a reference book that it will
take its place. Exhaustive descriptions,
variations from type. and more technical
matter must be sought among the horti-
cultural encyclopedias. In these pages
however, will be found general cultural
information and directions sufficient for
all ordinary requirements. When and
how to plant, pruning, spraying and Gull
tivation are each treated comprehensively
Propagation has not been touched upon,
trees and plants, of sizes suitable for
planting in their permanent places, can
be more easily obtained from reliable nur-
serymen, and give, as a rule, better
satisfaction to the amateur gardener.
Trees, shrubs and plants have been clas-
sified according to their suitability for
certain purposes. Space is given to the
making and proper care of lawns. The
more common injurious insects are de-
scribed, and means for their extermina-
ton are discussed. In short, the author
has earnestly endeavored to include what
ever information the average householder
needs to enable him to make selection
of such trees and plants as are best
adapted to his purposes, and to aid him
in properly caring for the grounds about
his home.
Regarding the plants themselves, doubt
less many omissions will be found from
the more or less familiar sorts; but let
it here be said that only such are in
cluded as have proved their worth under
ordinarily favorable conditions of cult
walton and climate.
Professor Whites editorial work has
been especially referable to correctness
of nomenclature. Dr. Fernald's editorial
work has been especially referable to the
subject of Injurious Insects, Pests and
Their Treatment"
