FUNGUS DISEASES .« GRAPE 
AND OTHER PLANTS. 
BY F. LAMSON-SCRIBNER, 
Professor of Botany in the University of Tennessee; Director and Botanist to the Ag- 
ricultural Experiment Station of Tennessee ; Fellow of the American 
Association for Advancement of Science; etc,, etc. 
The subject of Grape Diseases is one that has received the most important consideration from vineyardists of 
late years, and various methods of combating them have been given a large amount of time and attention by Ex- 
periment Stations, Horticultural Societies, and others. The Section of Vegetable Pathology of the Department 
of Agriculture has made it a subject of special instruc- 
tions in bulletins and otherwise. Hence the progressive 
and intelligent vineyardist and horticulturist of to-day 
is familiar, in a general way, with the dangers to be ap- 
prehended from the diseases and the importance of 
meeting them promptly and successfully. To enable 
him to do this he needs just such help as “Fungus Dis- 
eases of the Grape and Other Plants” gives — instruc- 
tive, brief, fresh, immensely practical. 
This book has been prepared especially for the vine- 
yardist, fruit-grower and gardener of to-day, and treats 
the subjects presented in the freshest and most practi- 
cal manner. It gives full descriptions of each disease, 
its nature, and means for its identification, with reme- 
dies to be used and mode of application. The book is 
copiously illustrated throughout by original engravings.
