All readers who have copies of the
"Botanical Resources" of Dr. F. P.
PbRon'should now begin in earnest
to make experiments through the season
of vegetable growth and bloom and
fruit. This volume is richly and in.
struetively interesting to all fond of bo.
tanical studies end observations, or dis
posed to domestic economy End thrift,
the improvement and application of local
resources and the development of home
oomforts.
The book shows strikingly what could
be done here in supplying wants for
which we have too long anid expensively
rlied on others and stranger. 'Having
been semi-officially pubIlished and wasted
by ollicial distribution among oficials
more interested in catering for them
selves than inspurvoying for the public
weal, this book is not as well known as
it should be. Good readers having it
soild therefore use and appreciato it,
or if they cannot eonvenielltly use it,
loan'it to intelligent neighbors And good
housekeepers, or furnish at proper times
suitabq and seasonal extracts for the
Nxws or any accessible .4owspaper.
