27. MONOGRAPH ON FUNGOID PESTS. 



The attention of Fellows is directed to a handsome volume lately 

 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 difterent 

 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 calf, 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 10s. Gd., R.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." 



28. RULES FOR JUDGING. 



The Rules for Judging, with. Suggestions to Schedule Makers and 

 Exhibitors " have been revised and considerably modified from the 

 experience gained during the last few years. The Secretaries of Local 

 Societies are therefore strongly advised to obtain a fresh copy. It 

 will be sent post free on receipt of a postal order for Is. Gd. addressed 

 to the Secretary, Royal Horticultural Society, Vincent Square, West-
