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 trees affected, and the chapters are arranged alpha- 

 betically. In a general chapter are included discussions of 

 the diseases common to all kinds of trees, such as samping- 

 off of seedlings, temperature injuries to leaves and woody 

 parts, smoke and gas injuries, wood-rots, and the like. The 

 species of trees affected, the geographic distribution, de- 

 structiveness, 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.
