Manual of Fruit Insects 



By M. V. SLINGERLAND and C. R. CROSBY 



Decorated cloth, i2mo, illustrated, $2.00 net 

 This work, published as one of the series which contains Professor 

 Bailey's well-known Manual of Gardening and Professor Harper's Manual 

 of Farm Animals, is a practical account of the principal insects which 

 attack fruits, including the enemies of the apple, pear, peach, plum, bush 

 fruits, grapes, strawberries, and cranberries. The life history of each insect 

 is given, its injuries described and recommendations made as to the means 

 of control, primarily from the standpoint of the commercial grower. A 

 chapter on insecticides details the more important facts relating to their 

 composition, preparation, and use. The book is illustrated with more 

 than four hundred pictures, largely reproductions of photographs made 

 by Professor Slingerland. 



Manual of Weeds 



By Ada E. Georgia 



Of the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University 



Cloth, i2mo, illustrated, $2.00 net 

 This is a summary of our present knowledge regarding weeds as they 

 affect horticultural and agricultural practices. The relations of weeds to 

 agriculture and the causes making certain plants weeds are explained. 

 Every separate species of weed known to occur in the United States or 

 Canada is described, and its range and habitat stated. The crops which 

 each species particularly infests and the means of controlling each species 

 are also discussed. Between 300 and 400 original illustrations, made 

 directly from the plants, greatly enhance the practical value of this book, 

 which will be of service both as a text for college students and as a refer- 

 ence book for farmers and horticulturists. 



Manual of Fruit Growing 



By Professor L. H. BAILEY 



New Edition, cloth, i2mo 

 Since the original publication of this book, in 1897, it has gone through 

 many editions. The progress of fruit growing in the meantime has been 

 very marked and it has been necessary to rewrite completely the work. 

 The present issue of it brings the accounts of the new practices and dis- 

 coveries as they relate to fruit growing up to date. All of the text and 

 practically all of the illustrations are new.
