Manual of Fruit Insects 



BY M. V. SLINGERLAND AND C. R. CROSBY 



Illustrated. Decorated cloth, 121110, $2.00 



A practical account of the principal insects which attack fruits, including the 

 enemies of the apple, pear, peach, plum, bush fruits, grapes, strawberries, and 

 cranberries. The life history of each insect is given, its injuries described and 

 recommendations made as to the means of control, primarily from the stand- 

 point of the commercial grower. A chapter on insecticides details the more 

 important facts relating to their composition, preparation, and use. The book 

 is illustrated with more than four hundred pictures, largely reproductions of pho- 

 tographs made by Professor Slingerland.

BY PROFESSOR L. H. BAILEY

 growing up to date. All of the text and practically all of the illustrations are
