BOOK REVIEWS. 



the American apple orchard. 



Mr. F. A. Waugh, who is so well known by his books on 

 fiuit culture, has done us another good service by producing for 

 our edification a book about apples, bearing the above title. 

 The volume is of a moderate size and at a moderate price, and 

 yet it contains practically all the important facts on apple- 

 growing. There have been mu.h larger works on apples gotten 

 out, but these were mainly to suit one locality, whereas this one 

 covers the entire country; yet Mr. Waugh knows his subject so 

 well that he has succeeded in producing a book that will proba- 

 bly be satisfactory in any locality in the United States, Canada, 

 and Mexico. The writer feels sure Mr. Waugh is a true and 

 sound guide, more particularly in the selection of varieties, 

 which is always a difficult matter with writers on the apple. 



The matter of the preservation and storage of fruit is ably 

 dealt with; but this was to be expected, because the author is 

 probably the best authority in the world on this very subject. 

 The selection of soils suitable to apple culture is a wide and in- 

 teresting subject, and yet it is very fairly treated here as far as 

 limited space will allow. 



Though the baok was written mainly to suit the eye of the 

 commercial fruit-grower, there is a chapter allotted to the family 

 orchard, which is interesting reading, worth more to the average 

 farmer than the cost of the book. We judge this book will at 

 once take its place as a standard authority on American apple- 

 growing, and have a wide sale accordingly. The publishers are 

 the Orange Judd Co., but it may be ordered from this office at 

 the published price, $1.00 postpaid. 



mccall's " physical properties of soils." — orange 



JUDD CO. 



This is a school book on the mechanics of the soil, written for 

 the use of students in agricultural colleges. It has to do with a 

 little-understood subject, more particularly by farmers, who 

 should certainly know the rudiments of soil mechanics. This 

 book is not intended, however, as a guide to those who desire to 

 study the subject at home, but is simply a laboratory textbook. 

 For this purpose it is admirably adapted and arranged, there be- 

 ing blank pages for students' notes. This greatly facilitates ref- 

 erence, and is superior to the old plan of having a separate book 

 for notes. This book has been prepared by a practical teacher 

 of soil physics, Prof. A. C. McCall.of the Ohio State University, 

 where the teaching of agiiculture is considered to be of a high 

 character. This alone should insure proper recognition for this 

 work by educators elsewhere. Price 50 cts. postpaid. We can 

 supply it from this office.
