Abstract
IN the work under notice the authors have aimed at meeting the needs of practical agriculturists and horticulturists by collecting into one book all the available information on plant pests and diseases necessary for their guidance. Insects and other animals, fungus diseases and weeds, are all dealt with categorically under their separate headings, a short description and the methods of treatment being given in each case. Many of the numerous illustrations are very clear, but others are scarcely sharp enough to prove efficient aids to identification.
