Manual of Tree Diseases 



By W. H. RANKIN 



The diseases of the more common trees of the United States are treated in this volume. 

 The discussions of these diseases are grouped into chapters under the common name of the tree 

 affected, and the chapters are arranged alphabetically. In a general chapter are included dis- 

 cussions of the diseases common to all kinds of trees, such as .samping-off of seedlings, tempera- 

 ture injuries to leaves and woody parts, smoke and gas injuries, wood-rots, and the like. The 

 species of trees affected, the geographic distribution, destructiveness and symptoms of the different 

 diseases are presented in full. 



The aim of the authors has been to furnish a descriptive guide for the diagnosis of tree diseases 

 and the general methods of their control.
