HIGH PRICED PLANTS. 



Sib, — Enclosed I send you a new subscription, together with my own and another 

 renewal. In doing so, I have acted on the principle that, having found a good thing, I 

 should show some one else the way to it. Your valuable paper should be in the hands of 

 every one and especially of the farmers of this Province, and would, I am sure, open the 

 eyes of the public to the magnitude of some of the frauds perpetrated by oily-tongiied 

 agents. One of this class was offering Cuthbert raspberries, last winter, for the trifling 

 outlay of $2.50 per — dozen !

BOOKS. 



Fungus Diseases of the Grape and other Plants and their Treatment. By 

 T. Lamson-Scribner. Published at Little Silver, N. J., by J. T. Lovett & Co. 1890. 



A book of 134 pages, neatly bound in cloth and profusely illustrated, which ought to 

 be in the hands of every fruit grower. Mr. Scribner herein treats of such diseases as the 

 mildew, the scabs, rusts, etc., in a popular style, so that every one can understand their 

 nature and apply proper remedies with intelligence; and yet in a sufficiently scientific 

 manner to satisfy the scholar. 



The study of these fungi has become positively essential of late to success in fruit cul- 

 ture, and the man who neglects it and the remedies prescribed, will be far behind in the 

 quality of his fruit at harvest time. 



The Illustrated Dictionary of Gardening. Edited by Mr. George Nicholson, 

 Curator Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Eng. This is the most complete work of the kind 

 ever published, full of both scientific and practical information upon all lines of gardening, 

 for either profit or pleasure. It contains 2370 first-class engravings, together with numer- 

 ous elegant colored plates. Published in four volumes, in cloth. Price $20. It may be 

 ordered through this office. 



The Dominion Illustrated. Those persons who have not seen the Dominion Illus- 

 trated since it has been so much enlarged and improved, should secure a sample copy. Both 

 from the literary and artistic point of view, the Illustrated is a credit to Canadian journal- 

 ism. On receipt of 12 cents in stamps the publishers (the Sabiston Litho. & Pub. Co., 

 Montreal) will send to any address a sample copy with full particulars. 



LiNDENiA — The "Graphic of Orchids," conducted by F. Linden, Lucien Linden, Em. 

 Rodigas, and R. A. Rolfe. February number, 1891. This is the first number of an Ame- 

 rican edition, which will be published regularly on the first of each month and issued in 

 half-yearly volumes, each of which will form an album of beautiful portraits, in natural 

 colors, of new, rare and popular Orchids. The plates are 14 J inches long by 11 inches 

 broad, and each monthly number will contain four plates with eight pages of text in Eng- 

 lish, with Latin diagnosis. The specimen before us has been issued in elegant style and 

 the four colored plates are exquisite works of art. This edition will be carried on in ex- 

 actly the same way as has the French edition during the last six years, in which 264 species 

 or varieties have already been figured. The terms of subscription to this charming work 

 are $6 for six months, post-free. Published by Lucien Linden, 100 Rue Belliard, Brussels, 

 (Belgium).
