NOTICES TO FELLOWS. 



cxcix 



and others, in all countries, as a result of its introduction through our 

 Society. 



The Council hope that Fellows will avail themselves freely of this 

 offer, as there is now a real prospect of its being very widely adopted as a 

 regular International standard. It should be quoted as " The Eoyal 

 Horticultural Society's Colour Chart." 



36. MONOGRAPH ON FUNGOID PESTS. 



The attention of Fellows is directed to a handsome volume 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. It also contains a Chapter on Fungicides, 

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

 and gives the proportions in which the various ingredients should be 

 used. The whole work is written so as to interest and instruct the 

 cultivator in the simplest and most practical manner. The volume 

 makes an admirable school prize or gift to a gardener or student of 

 nature. Price 5s., 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." 



37. RULES FOR JUDGING— 1909 CODE. 



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

 Exhibitors," have again been further revised and considerably modified 

 from the experience gained during the last few years. Special attention 

 is drawn to the amended Rule defining " an amateur," with suggestions 

 for establishing four distinct classes of amateurs to meet the require- 

 ments of larger or smaller local Societies. The "pointing" recommended 

 for fruits and vegetables has also been considerably amended, and the 

 terms " annuals " and " biennials " further explained. The secretaries of 

 local Societies are advised to obtain a fresh copy. It will be sent 

 post free on receipt of a postal order for Is. 6d., addressed to the Secretary, 

 Royal Horticultural Society, Vincent Square, Westminster, S.W. 



38. SPRAYING OF FRUIT TREES. 



The Report of the Conference on the Spraying of Fruit Trees, held in 

 the R.H.S. Hall on October 16, 1908, is now issued in book form, and 

 may be obtained at the Society's offices, Vincent Square, Westminster, 

 price Is. The book deals with the methods of spraying fruit trees for 

 both insect and fungus pests, with information as to washes and spraying 

 machinery, and forms the latest collated information on this subject.
