32. 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, may still 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 j 

 pests, with information as to washes and spraying machinery, and forms I 

 the latest collated information on this subject. 



33. VARIETIES OF FRUITS. \ 



Many people plant fruit trees without a thought of what variety 

 they shall plant, and as a result almost certain disappointment ensues, 

 whilst for an expenditure of 2d. they can obtain from the Society a little 

 16-page pamphlet which contains the latest expert opinion on Apples, 

 Pears, Plums, Cherries, Raspberries, Currants, Gooseberries, and Straw- 

 berries, together with Notes on Planting, Pruning, and Manuring, which j 

 for clearness of expression and direction it would be impossible to ' 

 surpass. It has in fact been suggested that no other 16 pages in the 

 English language contain so much and such definite information. At 

 the end of the pamphlet are given the names of some of the newer 

 varieties of fruits, which promise well, but are not yet sufficiently 

 proved to be recommended for general planting. 



Copies of this pamphlet for distribution may be obtained at the 

 Society's Office, Vincent Square, Westminster. Price, post free : single 

 copy, 2d., or 25, 2s. ; 60, 8s. ; 100, 4s.

 plants. It is now ready, price 2s. post free, not including Orchids.

35. RECOGNITION OF DILIGENT INTEREST; 



IN PLANTS.
