FUNGI AND FUNGICIDES.-The enor-
nous losses Inflicted 10y fungous diseases
on agricultural and horticultural products
turned the attention of scientific men to
the investigation of plant diseases and
their remedies. The experimental stations
under the charge of the Department of Agri-
culture have paid special attention to this
line of work, and though only six years
have passed since the establishment of the
stations in the various States, results of
immense practical value have already been
obtained. These results have been gath
cred together by Clarence NJ. Weed, pro-
fessor of botany in The New Hampshire
College of Botany, and constitute the work
Fungi and Fungcides." In simple way
that any one one can understand Professor
Weed describes what fungi are shows
how they are DrOpagated and how they are

for applying the fungicides, whether
by spraying or otherwise, as also
formulas for every mixture. The
book is divided into five parts-the first
treats of the fungi that attack the larger
fruits, the apple, pear, plum, cherry and
peach; the second deals with the fungi of
| small fruits, such as the grape, currant
gOosebeTry, blackberry and strawberry :
the third considers the fungi that infest
shade trees, ornamental plants and flowers /;
the fourth deals with the fungi of yege-
tables and the fifth with those of cereals
and forage plants. To make this work
thoroughly exhaustive for the whole of the
United States. some notice should have
been made of the fungi peculiar to the
citrus fruit trees of California and Florida,
but with this exception the work is yery
comprehensive. The farmer, the fruit
raiser and the 1ower-grower will find in it
all that is known with regard to the in
Juries, life histories, characteristics and
preyentlves of these fung9us diseases
and study and a common-sense use of
the remedies prescribed will save them
much loss. New York: The Orange
