Clear. Accurate ajsd Practical.— I am exceeu 

 fngly well pleased vriih Prof. Scribner's "Funeus Dis- 

 eases of the Grape and Other Plants.'" It appears to be 

 just the work needed at this time. Like all of friend 

 Scribner's work, it is very clear, accurate and practi- 

 cal. 'Now that it is fully demonstrated that to be suc- 

 cessful fruitsrrowers we must destrov. at the proper 

 time and as thorouorhly. the microscopic weeds (fungi) 

 as well as the large ones subdued by the hoe and cul- 

 tivator, this book comes at a most opportune time and 

 tells in the shortest space how to do the work most 

 thoroughly with the least trouble and esnense. The 

 illustratiohs are excellent and sufficient. This work 

 should at once take its place as a standard and indis- 

 pensable companion with Downing. Thomas. Barrv, 

 Warder, Fuller, andHusmann's popular works on fruit 

 culture, and I fully believe it will.— T. v. Mrxsox. 



The Price is too Low.— I have examined Prof. 

 Scribner's new book carefully and must say that it is 

 admirably adapted to the purpose for which it is in- 

 tended, it is not too technical for the understanding 

 of the average reader, but at the same time scientific 

 accuracy has not been lost sight of. Every fruit-grow- 

 er and vineyardist throughout the land should get a 

 eopy for handy reference. The book is beautifully 

 printed and iliustraced in Prof. Scribner's usual strik- 

 ing and accurate way. My only objection is that the 

 price is too low and rather" an inc.Qnvenient one. Any 

 man who wants such a work will give a dollar for it 

 as readily as he will seventy-five cents.— F.W. Axder- 

 sox, o^the Amerioan Agricvlturi^t. 



Will be Gladly Welcomed.— The copy of Prof. 

 Scribner's book on Fungus Diseases has beeii received. 

 I wish to thank vou for the publication which I am 

 sure will be gladly welcomed by fruit growers every- 

 where. The~book will afford many who do not read 

 vour valuable paper a means of learning much that 

 concerns them as tillers of the soil.— B. T. Galloway, 

 Chief 0^ Divisinji of Vegetable Pathology, U. S. 

 Depi. 0^ Aariculture. 



Plaix. Simple axd ACCTRate.— Few things of late 

 vears have put such a damper on the vineyardist as 

 the grape-rot, and to the orchardist the scaie. rot, and 

 other diseases of the fruits of trees. In Prof. Scrib- 

 ner's book all these matters are discussed, explained, 

 with the proper remedies for the various evils, that it 

 will be plain sailing hereafter if one goes to the little 

 trouble and expense necessary to carry out its instruc- 

 tions. It is written in that p'ain, simple, and accur- 

 ate style characteristic of all Prof. Scribner's produc- 

 tions with the pen. It should be in the hands of every 

 horticulturist in the land.— Samuel Miller. 



COXCISE, IXSTRUCTITE AND INTaLUABLE. — TOUr 



publication by F. Lamson-Scribner, '"Fungus Diseases 

 of the Grape and Other Plants," is concise, instructive 

 and invaluable to the practical fruit grower.— F. H.
