THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN. 
No. 5, of Vol. V, of “ Insect Life,” edited by C. V. Riley, en¬ 
tomologist, and L. O. Howard, first assistant, of the United States 
Department of Agriculture, has been issued. It is of much value 
to all who are interested in economic entomology. 
Henry W. Kruckeberg, secretary of the Southern California 
Horticultural Society, has issued the second annual report of the 
society. 
There is little left to be desired in the production of “ Our 
Native Grape ” by C. Mitzky & Co., of this city. It is a complete 
manual of one of the most important industries of the time. The 
work comprises 220 pages of closely printed matter and represents 
much patient and accurate labor. The work is neatly arranged 
and attractively illustrated with lithographic plates, representing 
the principal varieties that have recently commanded the atten¬ 
tion of vineyardists, and with wood engravings which are pro¬ 
fusely interspersed throughout the text to the great advantage 
of the reader. The authors wisely state in the preface that it is 
the intention of this manual not to make known new theories 
but to improve upon those already in practice. The chief feature 
of the book is the descriptive list of grapes. It has been the 
author’s aim to make it the most complete ever published and cer¬ 
tainly they have succeeded. All varieties, old and new, are 
brought to date. Many of these varieties have originated within 
a year or two. Ojie hundred pages of the book are devoted to this 
list. It will be seen at a glance that such a manual is invaluable 
to every nurserymen and horticulturist. But aside from the list 
there is a large amount of valuable information in the carefully 
prepared articles upon hybridizing, vineyard planting, soil, prun¬ 
ing and training, diseases, injurious insects, marketing, keeping 
grapes and wine making. The book is as interesting as it is in.
