iMessrs. T. C. and E. C. Jack, of London 
ind Edinburgh, is proceeding apace, hav- 
ng now reached Part IX., and is to be 
ompleted in seventeen parts at is. each. 
Part VII. is largely devoted to greenhouse 
ind hothouse flowers, in which the 
ruthors, Messrs. Horace J. and Walter P. 
iVright, deal with all phases of the green- 
rouse necessary for the cultivation of the 
flowers which fill those structures. Water¬ 
ing, feeding, ventilating and propagation 
are dealt with. The coloured plates in¬ 
clude Aconitum, Heuchera sanguinea and 
its white variety, the Tree Paeony, and a 
Rock Garden. Part VIII. has a like num¬ 
ber of coloured plates, including Persian 
Cyclamen, Clivia miniata, white Camel¬ 
lia, Megasea and Primula kewensis, on an 
indoor rockery, Star Narcissus, etc. Part 
IX. also contains full-page plates of 
Eucharis grandiflora, the New Zealand 
Glory Pea and Polyanthus Narcissus. The 
method of growing Fortune’s Yellow Rose 
in a greenhouse is also the subject of a 
plate. 
“ Mo-Effic ” Mildew Destroyer. 
In a catalogue of some twenty pages, 
Messrs. E. Wright and Co., Ltd., 55 and 
57, Brook Street, Bradford, Yorks, give 
an account of the use of this mildew de¬ 
stroyer, which has been well at¬ 
tested for some years past by professional 
and amateur Rose growers. One pint will 
make a hundred pints of the spray. It is 
harmless to foliage, roots and the wood¬ 
work, iron and paint of glasshouses in 
which it may be employed. It has been 
applied to Roses, Chrysanthemums, Sweet 
Peas, Carnations, Violets, Geraniums, 
Dahlias, Lilies, Hollyhocks, Vines, To- 
matos, Gooseberries, Strawberries, fruit 
trees and vegetables, whether under glass 
or in the open. The fungicide very 
quickly takes effect, so that it is not wasted 
even if rain should fall two hours after 
its application. Full directions and a 
measure are supplied with each bottle and 
drum of the fungicide. The analyses and 
uses of artificial manures are also dis¬ 
cussed, and some of the more useful are 
offered by the same firm. Various other 
useful sundries are also here listed, to¬ 
gether with Dermafine hose, which is well 
known for its remarkable strength and 
durability.
