This volume is published in the Country Life Education Series, 
which is edited by Charles William Burkett, formerly Director of the 
Kansas State Experiment Station. The growth or knowledge in the 
field of mycology and applied plant pathology has been very rapid in 
recent years. Notwithstanding this fact it is curious that no ade¬ 
quate treatment of the subject has appeared from the American 
press up to the present time. We now have a work however, which, 
though primarily intended for the laboratory and class room, will 
nevertheless be of great service to the plant grower, be he florist, 
vegetable grower, or orchardist. 
The volume satisfies the student by giving him the latest methods 
in use in life history studies of these parasitic forms, in vogue in the 
laboratory. It aids the grower by suggesting the most practical 
means of controlling them. The author discusses each disease from 
the following view points—“The pathological effects and other rela¬ 
tions of host to parasite.” “The life history of the causal fungus;” 
“The approved or suggested methods of prevention or control.” 
The long association of the author with orchardists and nurserymen 
has impressed up>on him the importance of presenting a work'of this 
kind in such form as will render it useful to the man in the field as 
well as the student of plant pathology. The illustrations depicting 
external appearance and morphology of the fungi will be appreciated 
by both classes of readers. The volume is clearly written, ade¬ 
quately illustrated, and in addition to the general index contains a 
host index of fungous diseases which will be of considerable service 
to the nursery grower,but more particularly to the nursery inspector. 
We have much pleasure in commending this book to our readers 
in the most unqualified manner. It may be obtained through the 
National Nurseryman at publisher’s rate.

This is a tribute of an enthusiastic plant lover to an exceedingly 
interesting and attractive group of the lily family. The introduction 
is a poetical effusion, in excellent taste and inspiring form, enlarging 
on the mission of beauty and the influence of aesthetic surroundings 
on the up-building of character. The body of the pamphlet is 
devoted to discussions of varieties, of their improvement and cul¬ 
ture. The little pamphlet is a valuable contribution to the litera¬ 
ture of the amateur interested in herbaceous gardening.
