Obituary 61opened on 29th May 1968 by Eamon de Valera, President ofIreland, in the presence of a distinguished international gathering.Since then about half a million people have visited the Park.As a part of his work Mr. Hanan visited most major arboretain the U.S.A., Great Britain and Europe. Also in his own timeand family travels he was untiring in his efforts to visit treecollections even as far away as North America and thus increasehis already extensive knowledge.Tony Hanan made a big contribution in his own unassumingway to the Society of Irish Foresters. He was Councillor from1957 to 1961, Treasurer 1961-64 and Vice President in 1967.During these times, too, and later, he did much organisationalwork as Convener of Study Tours, Society outings and indoormeetings. His lecture at the R.D.s. in 1970, as a contribution toEuropean Conservation Year, on "Irish Arboreta-Past, Presentand Future" will be remembered as one of the outstanding eventsin the history of the Society and of that year. A diffident man,nevertheless he always faced up to the challenges which confrontedhim and with great courage, overcame them, and succeededbetter than most.Apart from his Society activities Mr. Hanan gave very generouslyof his own time in giving lectures to various societies inmany places in the country and became wen known and muchsought after in this respect.Tony Hanan was born and lived practically all his life nearEnniskerry in perhaps the most beautiful sylvan surroundings inour country so, perhaps, it is no wonder he became a dedicatedman of trees with great appreciation for the country and annatural beauty. He had an abhorrence of aU activities that tendedto degrade the landscape of Ireland which he dearly loved. Itseems appropriate that he should be laid to rest in the shade ofthe great Douglas Fir trees in that beautiful cemetery at the topof Enniskerry Hill.He will be missed and deeply regretted by his colleagues and anwho knew him, and they win think of him as a thoroughly goodman and associate the highest qualities of integrity, christiancharity and dedication with their personal memory of him. Afterhis family, his Hfe was spent in the service of his trees, his churchand his country.To his wife who was so much a part of everything he did, to hisson and two daughters, OUr deepest sympathy.O.

ReviewsThe Pruning of Trees, Shrubs andConifersGeorge E. BrownFaber & Faber, £9In this book Dr. Brown achieves, in a very thorough and up-todatemanner not only the purpose which the title suggests, but alsohe ranges widely over associated fields of information which arealways important and often essential adjuncts to the pruningoperation. It is a very comprehensive work within the limitssuccintly defined in a preface yet, because the author has done hisjob so thoroughly, one regrets the deliberate exclusion of anydetailed divergence into the art of Tree Surgery which is sowidely neglected in this country and, I suspect, even if less sO', inBritain also. Still, at various points in the book the authoremphasises the importance of Tree Surgery to an extent that it isplain to the reader that anyone, or any public body, concerned withthe pruning of trees young, and particularly old, should have acompetent knowledge of the subject.The treatment and training of trees in the nursery stage both asyoung standard stock and for "semi mature" stock is rightlyemphasised as being vital and how this can be done is welldescribed.Pest and disease control are wen if briefly dealt with and one isglad to note that Mr. Brown does not miss the cue to emphasisethat pruning wounds should be treated with protective dressingsimmediately after cuts are made but, at the same time, one wouldhave liked to have had more on the efficacy of various chemicalsfor cut and wound dressings on trees.Another feature the perhaps too exacting reviewer had hopedto read about was the old art of topiary but this is dealt with onlyvery briefly. An example of the range lmd practical value of thisbook is to be found in Appendix III. Tools and equipment. andA ppendix IV Saw Sharpening and Maintenance, the latter beinga classic in clarifying on the detail of "saw doctoring," an artnow unfortunately almost unknown amongst foresters. Neitherdoes the author overlook the possibility of things going wrong and
