NOTICES TO FELLOWS. 



clxxxiii 



International Standard, so that all lovers of flowers all over the world 

 could accurately and exactly describe to one another (no matter how far 

 away or speaking what language) the colour and shade of any particular 

 flower they refer to ? There seemed no other difficulty than the somewhat 

 prohibitive cost of £1 Is. net. But difficulties only exist to be overcome, 

 and by undertaking to be responsible for a very large number, the Society 

 is now in a position to offer this Chart to its Fellows at the reduced cost 

 of 14s. Qd., for which price it can be obtained at the Society's Offices, 

 Vincent Square, or it can be sent free by post for 15s. ; but in all cases 

 a cheque or postal order must be sent beforehand. 



This Chart will, of course, be found vastly useful for many other 

 purposes ; for example, a lady wishing to match a certain shade has only 

 to refer her dressmaker to such and such a colour on p. — , shade — , and 

 it can be infallibly matched. An artist wishing to describe the colour of 

 the sky on a certain sundown, can do so exactly by reference to the chart. 

 And in many other like ways it must prove generally useful, containing 

 as it does every possible shade of colour between black and white. 



The Council hope that Fellows will avail themselves freely of this 

 offer, as unless a very large number of copies are purchased a great loss 

 will accrue to the Society. 



38. MONOGRAPH ON FUNGOID PESTS. 



The attention of Fellows is directed to a handsome volume recently 

 published by the Society on Fungoid Pests of Cultivated Plants, by 

 Dr. M. C. Cooke, V.M.H. It consists of 280 pages of letterpress, and is 

 illustrated with 24 coloured plates, containing figures of 360 different 

 fungoid attacks, and 23 woodcuts. The work is divided under the 

 headings of Pests of the Flower Garden, of Vegetables, of Fruit, of the 

 Vinery and Stove, of the Ornamental Shrubbery, of Forest Trees, and of 

 Field Crops. These are followed by a Chapter on Fungicides, which 

 explains very clearly how to make the different washes and sprays, and 

 also gives the proportions in which the various ingredients should 

 be used. 



Each pest is described separately, and means for its prevention or 

 eradication are given, and the whole work is written so as to interest 

 and instruct the cultivator in the simplest and most practical manner. 

 The volume, as published, is half-bound in call, as it was considered 

 probable that it would form the text- book on the subject for very many 

 years to come ; and it thus makes an admirable school prize or gift to 

 a gardener or student of nature. Price 6s., K.H.S. Office, Vincent 

 Square. 



" No one whose plants are subject to fungoid attacks — and whose are 

 not ? — should be without this book ; for not only can they by its use 

 identify the disease at once, but they are also told both how to treat it 

 and overcome it, and also how to make the different washes and sprays 

 which the different classes of fungoid attacks require."
