The Pruning Book.
By L. H. Bailey. This is the first American work exclusively devoted to
pruning. It differs from most other treatises on this subject in that the
author takes particular pains to explain the principles of each operation
in every detail. Specific advice is given on the pruning of the various
kinds of fruits and ornamental trees, shrubs and hedges. Considerable
space is devoted to the pruning and training of grapevines, both American
and foreign. Every part of the subject is made so clear and plain that it
can be readily understood by even the merest beginner. Cloth, 8vo, 530
pages. Illustrated. $1.50
