It is a remarkable confirmation of the common saying that this is 

 a time of progress, that the subject of the spraying of plants has de- 

 veloped so rapidly within the last ten years as to have outrun the 

 opportunities of even most experimenters to keep pace with it. The 

 literature of the subject is so scattered and in so many languages that 

 students and readers have little exact knowledge of what has really 

 been accomplished. The first historian of the subject has now appeared, 

 with a volume of four hundred pages crammed full of the records and 

 results of this latest great contribution of science to agriculture. The 

 book traces the complete evolution of the idea of the spraying of plants, 

 discusses all the mixtures and materials, the pumps and nozzles, and 

 the most approved methods. Specific instructions are given for the 

 treatment of every important insect and fungus of the farm, orchard, 

 garden, and greenhouse, arranged in such a way as to be available for 

 instant reference. The book is indispensable and valuable alike to the 

 experimenter and the practical horticulturist.
