 Vine, by F. Lawson Scribner, B.Sc.

 by tlie United States Department of 

 Agriculture. It treats of the l,)owny

 Black Rot, Anthracnose, Grape-leaf 

 Blight, and Grape-leaf Spot. It is il- 

 lustrated with seven colored plates, and 

 conipi-eliends a thorough investigation 

 of these fungi, with best known reme-
