NEW, REVI5ED AND ENLARGED EDITION. 



INSECTS AND INSECTICIDES. 



A Practical Manual Concerning Noxious Insects and the 

 Methods of Preventing Their Injuries. 



BY CLARENCE M. WEED, D. Sc. 



This is an entirely rewritten and new work. The first edition, with the same title, was 

 published in 1891, and was at once recognized as the most generally useful handbook on 

 noxious insects that was available to American farmers. Useful as the old book was with. 

 its 182 pages, 143 cuts and 7 plates, the extent of the improvements in the new edition may 

 be inferred from the fact that it has 336 pages, 176 engravings and 16 full-page plates. It 

 covers the whole field of insect pests very thoroughly and is specially valuable for its com- 

 plete and up-to-date methods of fighting insects. The work is thus intensely practical. 



It illustrates and describes all the important insect pests and goes into grea*\ detail in 

 describing remedies for them and methods of preventing their injuries. Great progress has 

 been made in the use of insecticides during the past three years, all the results of which are 

 embodied in this new book. Unlike previous works on entomology, which frequently have 

 been noted for the fullness with which they describe insects and their poverty of remedies 

 or preventives for the same, Prof. Weed's work excels in practical directions for applying 

 insecticides that have proven to be of real efficiency. "We are sure that any farmer or 

 gardener who buys this book will consider the money a splendid investment, for the appli- 

 cation of any one of the remedies recommended for important pests will save many times 

 the cost of the work. It answers all the questions about insects and insecticides that will 

 come up at any time during the year, and the book is therefore Indispensable.
