30. UNION OF HORTICULTURAL MUTUAL 

 IMPROVEMENT SOCIETIES. 



This Union has recently been established for the encouragement 

 and assistance of Horticultural Mutual Improvement Societies, the object 

 being to strengthen existing Mutual Improvement Societies, to promote 

 interchange of lecturers, to provide printed lectures, and if possible to 

 increase the number of these useful Societies, and thus generally to 

 advance the aims and objects of horticulture. 



A list of lecturers and their subjects, and also a list of typewritten 

 lectures, with or without lantern slides, prepared by the Society, may be 

 obtained from the Secretary R.H.S., price 3d. 



The Secretary of the Society will be very glad to hear from any 

 competent lecturers who are willing to lecture to such Societies that he 

 may enrol them in the Register of Lecturers and bring them into touch 

 with Societies requiring assistance. Others may like to send to him 

 written lectures (with or without lantern slides), that he may have them 

 printed for circulation among these Societies. 



Lantern slides on horticultural topics are urgently needed, and their 

 gift will be very much appreciated. 



31. 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.
