Squashes — How to Grow Them. A Practical Treatise on Squash 

 Culture. By James J. H. Gregory, Marblehead, Mass. New 

 York : Orange Judd & Co. 12mo ; 70 pp. ; paper, 30 cents. 



In the past few years there has been a decided change 

 in the treatment of Horticultural subjects. 



Authors have found that materials were becoming so 

 abundant, that a single volume would no longer answer 

 for the full elucidation of all Horticultural products. 



Pomology has been separated into several branches, 

 and, in a few instances, a volume has been devoted to a 

 single species of fruit. Mr. Gregory has adopted the same 

 plan, and given us a very practical treatise on the cultiva- 

 tion of Squashes. We miss many of our old favorites in 

 this volume, and wish that the author had said more upon 

 the cultivation of squashes and pumpkins as food for 

 cattle. The work, so far as it goes, is the best treatise we 

 have upon the subject. 



The Grapevine. A Practically Scientific Treatise on its Manage- 

 ment. By Frederick Mohr, Doctor of Philosophy and Medi- 

 cine, etc. Translated from the German by Horticola. New 

 York : Orange Judd & Co. 129 pp. $1. 



Very few of the European works on grape culture are 

 of any practical value to the vineyardist of America. 



This one of Dr. Mohr's, however, is an exception, as it 

 deals mainly with principles which are as applicable to 

 the vines in our own gardens as in that of the author. 



The volume before us is full of excellent liints, sugges- 

 tions, as well as the elucidations of principles, and their 

 application to practice, all of which are of great value to 

 the novice in grape culture as well as those who have had 

 considerable experience.
