Two Important Books Rewritten and Brought Up to Date 



Principles of Fmit-Growing 



By L. H. bailey. New Edition, revised and rewritten 



Illustrated, i2mo, $i-7S 



Since the original publication of this book in 1897, it has gone 

 through a total of nineteen editions. The progress of fruit-growing in 

 the meantime has been very marked and it has now become necessary 

 to rewrite this work. The present issue of it brings the accounts of the 

 new practices and discoveries as they relate to fruit-growing up to date. 

 It gives the latest information and points of view on fertilizers and 

 different kinds of fruits, the heating of orchards to protect them from 

 frost, the treatment of diseases and insects, full discussions with dia- 

 • grams of the methods of laying out orchards and much other subject 

 matter. This revision continues the text as standard. The illustra- 

 tions represent new hand drawings, with the complete elimination of 

 half-tones, thereby giving an artistic appearance to the volume. 



Plant-Breeding 



Br L. H. BAILEY. New Edition 



Revised by A. W. GILBERT, Professor of Plant-Breeding in the New York State 

 College of Agriculture 



Illustrated, cloth, izmo, $2.00 

 The original foundation for this book is Professor Bailey's standard 

 text, Flant-Breeding, first published in 1895. As now issued the 

 material in the old volume has been thoroughly revised and brought 

 down to date. New discussions of mutations, Mendelism, heredity and 

 the recent applications of the breeding of plants are all included. 

 The work is now adapted to the classroom as well as to the needs of 

 the general reader. Extensive laboratory exercises have been added ; 

 the bibliography, which has been a prominent feature of previous edi- 

 tions, except the first, has been retained and extended. A list of cur- 

 rent books and periodicals and a glossary of plant-breeding terms are 

 also contained in the book.
