Handbook of Insects Injurious to Orchard and Bush Fruits, with Means of Prevention and Remedy

Abstract

Miss ORMEROD has now added to her long and useful series of works on agricultural entomology by publishing a volume specially devoted to the insects and mites injurious to fruit. It is hardly necessary to say that the book is worked out in her usual careful manner, and freely illustrated. The principal fruits are arranged in alphabetical order, commencing with apple; and under each, their insect enemies are enumerated. Fruit growers who find their trees or bushes suffering from the attacks of insects, cannot do better than refer to this book to discover the cause and remedy. In a few touching lines, Miss Ormerod dedicates the book to the memory of her sister and co-worker, Miss Georgiana M. Ormerod, who was equally interested in entomological inquiries with herself.
