758 EXPERIMENT STATION RECORD. 



Cranberry growing in Nova Scotia, J. Craig ( Amcr. (lard., 20 (1S99), No. 214, 

 p. 63, figs. 2). 



The strawberry -raspberry, W. E. Britton (Amer. Gard., 20 (1899), No. 215, p. 63 } 

 figs. 2). — Descriptive and cultural notes. 



Nutrition and protection of the vine by injection, L. Mangin (Jour. Agr. 

 Prat., 1898, II, No. 52, pp. 918-920). — Statement and unfavorable criticism of Berget's 

 theory that the vine may in practice be protected from the attacks of fungi by injec- 

 tion of copper salts into the stem and advantageously nourished by injection of a 

 solution of phosphate of ammonia. 



The productiveness of grafts on Vitis rupestris and V. riparia, J. M. Guil- 

 lon (Jour. Agr. Pral., 1898, II, No. 51, pp. 899,900).— Abstract of a bulletin of the 

 viticultural station of Cognac. The comparative productiveness of grafts on these 

 stocks is studied. The must of rupestris was found to contain 148 gr. sugar per 

 liter, riparia 191 gr. 



Packing and shipping fruits, C. C. Bell (Gardening, 7 (1899), No. 153, pp. 

 138-140). — A paper read at the last annual meeting of the Illinois Horticultural 

 Society. 



Preservation of fruits in lime (Belg. Hort. et Agr., 10 (1898), No. 24, p. 378).— In 

 experiments in France grapes packed in lime for 7-"? months were found still very 

 fresh. Winter pears and quinces which otherwise could be kept only 2 or 3 

 months were preserved until fully ripe. It is stated that lime does not retard decay 

 when produced by physiological causes. It protects the fruit only from external 

 causes of decay, such as dampness, vermin, insects, and microbes. With the use of 

 lime it is not necessary to make any special provision for storage. 



Preserving in tins*, or the art of canning, A. M. Howell (Agr. Gaz. New South 

 Wales, 9 (1898), No. 10, pp. 1181-1190, figs. 6). — Methods of canning on a small scale. 

 Among the subjects treated are cauning in tins with solder, the home cannery, the 

 wax-sealing method, standard methods, exhausting the cans of air, testing cans for 

 leaks, the sterilizing process, and general formulas for canning. 



Pulping fruit (California Fruit Grower, 24 (1899), No. 4, p. 4). — Notes upon the 

 process in Australia and the utilization of the product. 



The use and construction of greenhouses for horticulturists, L. R. Taft (Flor- 

 ists' Exchange, 11 (1899), No. 4, pp. 73, 74; Gardening, 7 (1S99), No. 154, pp. 153-155).— 

 Abstract from a paper read before the Missouri State Horticultural Society.

 lishing Co., Ltd., 1897, pp. 120, pis. 27, figs. 20, dgms. 5).— The work discusses the 

 construction of ponds, adapting natural streams, planting, hybridizing, seed saving, 

 propagation, building an aquatic house, wintering, correct designing and planting 

 of banks and margins, together with cultural directions for all ornamental aquatics. 

 Descriptive notes with cultural memoranda are given for water lilies, miscellaneous 

 aquatic plants, orchids, ferns, and hardy perennials, hardy shrubs, and trees suitable 

 for wet or moist situations. The illustrations represent various cultivated aquatics 

 and ti-eatment of water scenes in landscape gardening. Artificial ponds and an 

 aquatic house are figured. The plates are numerous and artistically executed.
