Two Important Books Rewritten and Brought Up to Date 
Principles of Fruit-Growing 
By L. H. BAILEY. New Edition, revised and rewritten 
Illustrated, i2mo, $1.75 
Since the original publication of this hook in 1897 , it has gone 
through a total of nineteen editions. The progress of fruit-growing in 
the meantime has been very marked and it has now become necessary 
to rewrite this work. The present issue of it brings the accounts of tlio 
new practices and discoveries as they relate to fruit-growing up to date. 
It gives the latest information and points of view on fertilizers and 
different kinds of fruits, the heating of orchards to protect them from 
frost, the treatment of diseases and insects, full discussions with dia¬ 
grams of the methods of laying out orchards and much other subject 
matter. This revision continues the text as standard. The illustra¬ 
tions represent new hand drawings, with the complete elimination of 
half-tones, thereby giving an artistic appearance to the volume. 
Plant-Breeding 
By L. H. BAILEY. New Edition 
Revised by A. W. GILBERT, Professor of Plant-Breeding in the New York State 
College of Agriculture 
Illustrated, cloth, i2mo, $2.00 
The original foundation for this book is Professor Bailey’s standard 
text, Plant-Breeding, first published in 1895 . As now issued the 
material in the old volume has been thoroughly revised and brought 
down to date. New discussions of mutations, Mendelism, heredity and 
the recent applications of the breeding of plants arc all included. 
The work is now adapted to the classroom as well as to the needs of 
the general reader. Extensive laboratory exercises have been added ; 
the bibliography, which has been a prominent feature of previous edi¬ 
tions, except the first, has been retained and extended. A list of cur¬ 
rent books and periodicals and a glossary of plant-breeding terms are 
also contained in the book.
