BOOK F^VT^W 
DISEASES OF CULTIVATED PLANTS AND TREES 
There is such an overwhelming mass of writings on 
I he subject of plant diseases that the student or practi¬ 
tioner cannot possibly wade through them all. Diseases 
of Cultivated Plants and Trees by George Massey is a 
work concrete and comprehensive and by an authority 
on the subject. Mr. Massey is connected with the Royal 
Botanic Gardens, Kew, England, and the leading 
authority in that country. 
The work is necessarily technical, yet written in such 
a plain simple way that it is thoroughly comprehensive 
to the lay mind, enabling the reader to identify the 
disease and apply the remedy. 
It is published by The MacMillan Company, New York, 
and sells for $2.25. 
HOW TO GROW ROSES 
The Conard & Jones Company, West Grove, Pa., are 
to be congratulated on their new book “How to Grow 
Roses. 
A book on the subject of roses by the firm of Conard 
& Jones, who have been identified in the growing of them 
for so long is sufficient warranty of the sound, practical 
nature of the contents and J. Horace McFarland Co., who 
printed it for the typography and workmanship. The 
color work and half tones with which it is copiously il¬ 
lustrated are unusually good. 
From a nurseryman’s point of view perhaps the hap¬ 
piest features, are its digestible size and the absence of 
all matter that would give the impression of advertising 
their own wares. 
Roses are the subject and the author has stuck closely 
to it. 
The book sells for one dollar and ought to meet with 
an enormous demand. 
THE PRINCIPLES OF PLANT CULTURE 
A book under the above title by the late E. S. Goff 
revised bv J. G. Moore and L. R. Jones, of the University 
of Wisconsin and edited by Prof. L. II. Railey is pub¬ 
lished by The MacMillan Co., New York. 
The old-time gardener acquired his knowledge by 
dearly bought experience without knowing the funda¬ 
mentals of his profession. 
This book belongs to the new order of things. It is 
a text book for beginners in agriculture and horticulture 
and gives the student a grasp of the fundamentals so es¬ 
sential if he wishes to become a master in his profession 
and cultivate the soil with his brains as well as his 
muscles. Price $1.25. 
SUBTROPICAL VEGETABLE GARDENING 
Subtropical Vegetable Gardening by P. If. Rolfs, Direc¬ 
tor of the Experiment Station of Florida is the title of a 
new book of the Rural Science Series edited by Prof. 
L. II. Railey. 
Perhaps a more appropriate title would have been 
Vegetable Growing in the Southern States as it treats en¬ 
tirely of growing vegetables which are largely shipped 
to the northern markets tor winter and early spring con¬ 
sumption. 
Fertilizer formulas, time for planting and sowing, 
diseases and remedies, in fact all necessary information 
on the subject is given. 
I he work is readable and practical, and should be ex¬ 
tremely valuable to the vegetable gardener in subtropical 
sections of the country. 
Published by the MacMillan Co., New York Price 
$1.50. 
A descriptive list of Paeonia sinensis comes from Kal- 
len & Lunnemann, Boskoop, Holland, that is exceptionally 
well gotten up and a little unusual as a trade list. 
It is a successful attempt to present their goods in an 
attractive way without undue flattery. 
Paeonia growers should write for a copy as the con¬ 
tents have evidently been prepared with great care.
