What shrubs would be suited to our school yards? These are questions which are fre- quently asked the United States de- partment of agriculture.

She was on her father's side a lineal descendant of Jasper Crane, who was an original settler of the New Haven colony. In New Haven his house was located on the corner of Orange street, the site now occupied by the Church of St. Thomas, In 1652 he became one of the first planters of Branford, Conn.; later he made his permanent home in Newark, N. J., and was a prominent figure in the settlement of Newark.
