HORTICULTURi: 



March 12, 1910 



PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 



Landscape Art, by Wencel L. Cuk- 

 erski, Grand Rapids, Mich. — This lit- 

 tle 32-page booklet will no doubt find 

 many interested readers and it will 

 do much to improve the popular 

 knowledge of lawn-planting, laying 

 out and arrangement of grounds, 

 planting and caring for trees, shrubs, 

 herbaceous perennials and bedding 

 plants. The illustrations are exceed- 

 ingly well selected. 



Fungous Diseases of Plants.— By 

 Benjamin Minge Duggar, Professor of 

 Plant Physiology in Cornell Uni- 

 versity. Here is unquestionably one 

 of the most needed books for the 

 use of the horticulturist. Although 

 much work has been done and much 

 valuable information disseminated by 

 the agricultural experiment stations in 

 lecent years regarding destructive par- 

 asitic fungi, yet much of it has come 

 in so disconnected a form that it has 

 not been of convenient and practical 

 availability to the man most in need 

 of it. Previous to the work now be- 

 fore us. we do not think there has 

 been any publication presenting in sys- 

 tematic and comprehensive form the 

 results of investigation in this great 

 field. Now at last we have what has 

 been so much needed, a book of over 

 500 pages, illustrated, and fully in- 

 dexed from three different standpoints, 

 viz.: The contents consecutively ar- 

 ranged: a ready reference index of 

 fungous diseases with the names of 

 plants affected in alphabetical order; 

 and a general index. As a text book 

 for scientific study the work will un- 

 doubtedly be gratefully received by the 

 student and special investigator, but 

 what we wish to emphasize particular- 

 ly is its usefulness to the evei-y-day 

 horticulturist, who will find in, its 

 pages the answer to many questions 

 that come up from day to day respect- 

 ing those obscure and pestilent dis- 

 eases which so often rob him of the 

 fruits of his industry and have done 

 so much to baffle his best efforts. In 

 part 3, which the plant grower will 

 find especially useful, each disease is 

 discussed with reference to its occur- 

 rence, its life history is briefly given, 

 and practical advice for the intelligent 

 application of prophylactic and control 

 measures. Professor Duggar has placed 

 the horticultural industry of our con- 

 tinent under no small obligation to 

 him by the painstaking service he has 

 thus lendered. The price of the book 

 is $2.00. Copies can be supplied from 

 this office.
