The colossal work of Dr. Hedrick and as-sociates of the Geneva (NY) Agricultural Experiment Station (already reviewed in SCIENCE) 1 has been of inestimable service in furnishing a ready means of identification of grape varieties under cultivation, by means of superb colored illustrations and detailed de-scriptive matter. That volume is mainly de-voted to results of tests and observations at the station on a very wide range of cultivated varieties, and does not assume to discuss botanical relations or the subject of interbreeding, except as standards of reference. Those who have for many years watched the determined, painstaking labors of Dr. Mun-son, in Texas, have anticipated pleasure and profit from the monument he was expected to erect in the form of a book recording the outcome of his patient work and great sacrifices to compass the production of advanced types of grapes in the arduous process of breeding for quality." Foundations of American Grape Culture" comes as a veritable boon to many who owe its author much for previous aid and encourage-ment in the tedious and unremunerative practise of grape breeding. It is so filled with meat, so well and compactly arranged and thoroughly indexed, so copiously illustrated with most excellent reproductions from life, and so thoroughly digested, that it is impossible to characterize its contents in a sen-tence. The volume is remarkable in breadth of scope, completeness of treatment and wealth of detail, yet in clearness, conciseness 1" The Grapes of New York."
