ON OUR TABLE. 



Harris's Inskcts Ixjurious to Veuktation.— 

 Orange Judd & Co., of New York, have just 

 issued a new edition of this popular and most 

 excellent work. It is a perfect fac-simile of the 

 last edition, corresponding page for page, and 

 obviating the unpleasant necessity, in quoting 

 from the work, of referring to it bv the edition, 

 as is too often the case with works which run 

 through diftercnt editions. At the same time 

 it has the advantage of being compressed into a 

 smaller volume, while, as we are pleased to find 

 from the uncolored copy on our table, the press- 

 work is fully as good as in the former editions. 

 Price, uncolored, $4.00; colored, $6.00. 



Practical Floriculture, by Peter Hender- 

 son. — The "Western News Company, Chicago, 

 send us this little work, which is a fitting com- 

 panion to Gardening for Profit, the iirst very 

 popular work of the author. It contains many 

 radical views, and we read it with a good deal 

 of pleasure and profit. It is not our province, 

 even if we had the space, to review any other 

 thau entomological works, but we can safely 

 recommend this little book as invaluable to those 

 who wish to cultivate flowers successfully. 

 Price $1.50. 



The American Horticultural and the 

 American A<;ricultural Annuals for 1869.— 

 By Orange Judd & Co., of New York. Two 

 elegantly gotten up and valuable year books, 

 each giving a record of what has been accom- 

 plished during the year, and each containing 

 practical essays by men who are known to be 

 well qualified in their special departments. 

 Price of each, .50 cents, paper cover; To cents 

 cloth. 



Gray's School and Field Book oi<' Botanv. — 

 A valuable class book added to Gray's Botanical 

 Series, just issued by Ivison Phinncy, Blakeman 

 & Co., of New York. The work supplies a great 

 desideratum to the Botanist and Botanical 

 Teacher, there being no similar class book pub- 

 lished in this country. Price $2.o0. 



L'Insectologie Agricole, Paris, France. — 

 AVe have already noticed this neat little monthly 

 (see p. 98 of No. 5), and need only say that it 

 increases in utility and interest. It is the only 

 other periodical in the world besides the A)ieri- 

 CAN Entomologist, which is devoted primarily 

 to economic entomology. 



Scientific Opinion. — A Weekly Record of 

 Scientific Progress at Home and Abroad. Lon- 

 don, England. A most welcome addition to 

 the truly able publications of the day. It shows 



great editorial ability, and promptly reports the 

 proceedings of all prominent Scientific Socie- 

 ties. We heartily wish it success and pros- 

 perity. 



Hardwicke's Science Gossir: London, 

 England — Is exactly what it purports to be, 

 viz: a monthly medium of interchange and 

 gossip for students and lovers of Nature. It is 

 well edited, beautifully illustrated, and devotes 

 more space to the wonders of the microscope 

 than any other of our exchanges. It is now in 

 its fifth year. 



NOTE FROM THE JUNIOR EDITOR, 



Having recently received numerous letters in- 

 quiring as to how and where my " First Annual 

 Report" can be obtained, I will state in answer to 

 these inquiries, and for the benefit of the general 

 reader, that 6,000 copies of the report are printed 

 by the State, and that they are bound up with, 

 and form a part of, the Missouri Agricultural 

 Report. Mr. Chas. W. Murtfeldt, Secretary of 

 the State Board of Agriculture, has charge of the 

 distribution of a certain portion of these Agri- 

 cultural Reports, and residents of Missouri can 

 doubtless obtain copies by addressing him at 612 

 N. Fiftli St., St. Louis, and by enclosing the re- 

 quisite postage — 50 cents. A few extra copies of 

 the Entomological Report were printed at my 

 own expense, on somewhat better paper than the 

 State furnishes, and I can, to a limited extent, 

 supply those of my entomological friends who 

 desire them, with separate copies fully indexed 

 and covered in paper, at $1.00 with i)lain, and 

 $2.00 with colored plates.
