COMPLETE "WORK OX THE SUBJECT.— 'Tungus Diseas-

Of Great Use.— A duodecimo book of 134 pages, on 

 the 'Tungous Diseases of the Grape and Other Plants," 

 prepared by Prof. F. Lamson-Scribner, has been re- 

 cently published by J. T. Lovett Company, Little Silver, 

 N. J. Now that cultivators have met with so many dis- 

 eases of trees and plants, this compact manual for 

 ready reference will be found of great convenience in 

 distinctly pointing them out and applying known rem- 

 edies, and in reducing the confusion occasioned by the 

 prevalence of these diseases, to the accuracy of science 

 and distinct description. The following are most of 

 the diseases treated: Black rot and brown rot of the 

 grape; powdery mildew of the vine; black knot and 

 plum rot, apple scab and apple rust; black rot of the 

 apple and bitter rot; cracking of the pear; peach leaf 

 curl; raspberry rust; leaf blight of the pear, and pow- 

 dery mildew of the cherry. All are fully illustrated. 

 An introductory chapter on general principles serves 

 to render the subject easily understood. In a few in- 

 stances a little additional "information might be added, 

 as for instance the value of a thrifty growth to prevent 

 peach-leaf curl, and to the unscientific reader an ex- 

 planation of the word "antbracnose,"' which is fre- 

 quently used, mieht be acceptable. On the whole, 

 however, it will be found of great use for garden and 

 field reference,— TTie Country Gentleman.
