A practical work, embodying the results of the researches of 

 scientists in all parts of the world, prepared by a writer who, 

 through long continued personal investigations and experiments, 

 not only represents accurately the views of others but gives rea- 

 sons for the statements which he himself advances. 



This volmne takes the place of the author's "Text-book of Plant 

 Diseases," the issue of which has become exhausted, but follows 

 somewhat different lines, and covers a much wider field. In addi- 

 tion to a discussion of the causes and cure of the various fungi ahd 

 parasitic diseases, there are chapters on Woimds (caused by prun- 

 ing, wind, snow, etc.); Drought; Injuries due to Frost and Hail; 

 Injury by Smoke, Acid, Fumes, Gas, etc.; Injuries caused by 

 Animals and Birds; The Bacteriology of the Soil; and other val- 

 uable topics. 



The treatment though technical, is sufficiently concise and clear 

 to be easily comprehended by the least scientific.
