TWO IMPORTANT BOOKS REWRITTEN AND BROUGHT UP TO DATE 



ADDITIONS TO THE RURAL SCIENCE SERIES 



Principles of Fruit-Gr owing 



By L. H. BAILEY. New Edition, revised and rewritten 



Illustrated, I2mo, $1.75 



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

 editions. The progress of fruit-growing hi the meantime has been very marked and it has now 

 become necessary to rewrite this work. The present issue of it brings the accounts of the new 

 practices and discoveries as they relate to fruit-growing up to date. It gives the latest informa- 

 tion and points of view on fertilizers and different kinds of fruits, the heating of orchards to 

 protect them from frost, the treatment of diseases and insects, full discussions with diagrams of 

 the methods of laying out orchards and much other subject matter. This revision continues the 

 text as standard. The illustrations represent new hand drawings, with the complete elimina- 

 tion of half-tones, thereby giving an artistic appearance to the volume. 



Plant-Breeding 



By L. H. BAILEY. New Edition 



Revised by A. W. GILBERT, Professor of Plant- Breeding in the New York 

 State College of Agriculture 



Illustrated, cloth, I2mo, $2.00 



The original foundation for this book is Professor Bailey's standard text, Plant-Breeding, 

 first published in 1895. As now issued, the material in the old volume has been thoroughly revised 

 and brought down to date. New discussions of mutations, Mendelism, heredity and the recent 

 applications of the breeding of plants are all included. The work is now adapted to the class- 

 room as well as to the needs of the general reader. Extensive laboratory exercises have been 

 added; the bibliography, which has been a prominent feature of previous editions, except the 

 first, has been retained and extended. A list of current books and periodicals and a glossary of 

 plant-breeding terms are also contained in the book.
