JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY 
[Vol. 16 
The general reader will find much of practical value in Part II, especially orchard- 
ists. The impartial up-to-date, discussion of spraying and dusting should be ex¬ 
tremely valuable to many large growers. We have in this volume a comprehensive, 
authorative discussion of numerous practical phases of pest control. The book 
should not only be in the hands of students, but also in all horticultural libraries and 
upon the shelves of most fruit growers and others more or less directly concerned in 
the control of insects and fungi.
