Principles and Practice of Pruning 



By M. O, KAIM8 



Lecturer on Horticulture, Columbia I'niverslty 



Few practices In the handling of plants, especially 

 fruit l>earlng pUints, attract so much interest as do thosi- 

 of pruning. The mellinds are so varied, the results st) 

 diverse, ami the opinions of growers so apparently con- 

 tradictory that this suliject is always one of the most 

 interesting, and tbe surest to bold attention and arouse 

 liiscusslon. 



Particularly during the last ten or fifteen years vfhen 

 the principles of plant physiology have t)een more and 

 more satisfactorily applied to plant production and man- 

 agement has interest settled in pruning. During the 

 latter half of this time also more and tnore investi- 

 gations and tests have been conducted by experiment 

 stations and other workers to test otjt methods and 

 principles in the Interest of science and for the i)eneflt 

 of growers. The accumulation of such, new linowledge 

 has become very considerable especially In the last de- 

 cade, but It Is necessarily so scattered that very few- 

 growers have access to It. hence the demand for a book, 

 which shall present the really important features of 

 these Investigations as well as set forth the fundamental 

 principles based upon the laws of plant growth. 



This volume Is lavishly Illustrated mainly by actual 

 photographs of specimens which show good and bad 

 practices. The author has spared neither time nor ex- 

 pense in gatiierlug his photographs, each one of which 

 tells Its story. 



After a few pages of Introduction the author discusses 

 I'lant Physiology . as related to pruning. A chapter 

 takes up the Philosophy of Pruning. Itself a very In- 

 teresting subject. Then follows a classltieatinn and clear 

 discussion of Buds, very fully illustrated from life, now 

 Wounds Ileal Is an exceedingly interesting chapter, as are 

 also those on Prevention and Repair of Mechanical In- 

 juries, Pruning Nurserv Stock. Young Trees. Mature 

 Trees and Odd Methods' of Pruning and Training, Re- 

 juvenating Neglected Trees and Practical Tree Surgery. 



Profusely Illustrated. 400 pages.

Vegetable Forcing 



By KALI'H I.. WATTS 



l>ean and Director. Seliool of Agriculture and Experiment 

 Station. Pennsylvania State College. 



Vegetable forcing occupies an Increasingly Important 

 place In American Horticulture. The author of this 

 volume not only had large experience himself In growing 

 crops under glass, but be made repeated visits to tbe 

 largest and best conducted vegetable forcing establish- 

 ments In the United States, and his book should prove 

 e.xceedingly valuable to all practical growers, whether 

 producing for commercial purposes or for the home ta- 

 ble. The valni' of the book is enhanced by a remarkalilc 

 lot of lllustratioiis. 158 in numl)er, asseml)led over .i 

 period of ten years. M.'.ny of them are full page in siz' 

 and show most interesting subjects In connection with 

 Acgot'abie forcing.. 



Attention is called to the wide range of topics dis- 

 cussed. Tliere are eleven chapters devoted to general 

 iiuestions, such as Greenhouse Construction. Soli Prep- 

 aration, Soil Sterilization. Insects and Diseases and 

 Their Control. Management. Problems, and Marketing, 

 'i'hen follows eight chapters on the Most Important Veg 

 "■table Forcing Crops, and another chapter on Miscellane 

 ous Greenhouse Crops. The chapter on Systems of Crop 

 ping will he found valuable to both amateurs and expe 

 rienced gardeners. The ehai)ter on Frame Crops is ex 

 tensive and profusely Illustrated. The book closes with 

 a cliapter giving in condensed form the most essential 

 points In the Culture of Mushrooms. 



Profusely illustrated. 5% x 8 Inches. 400 pages. Cloth.
