LABORATORN MANUAL OF HORTICULTURE WITH ILLUSTRATIONS OF METHODS, EQUIPJIENT, AND APPARATUS -- PREFACE - This manual contains the exercises that have been given in connection with the work in General Horticulture at the Ohio State University, Michigan Agricultural College, and University of Nebraska. It is a modest attempt to fill a place that, for a long time, has seemed to be vacant. The aim is to give the student an outline by which he can better grasp some of the fundamental princi- ples of horticulture, and an opportunity to learn by actual ex- perimentation and obsel-vation the reasons for certain necessary operations in horticulture. It is the object of this manual to give explicit directions for every detail of the wokk. In certain exercises it may be impos- sible for the student to do all the tasks outlined, but only such parts as are suited to the conditions under which the student is working should be attempted. This must be determined by the instructor, who, it is hoped, will select those exercises that are most practicable for his class. The drawings asked for and the questions raised in the sev- eral exercises are designed to bring out fundamental principles and important points as well as to fix firmly in the mind of the student the. necessity of careful anci systematic work. The author has made use of suggestions found in other works, and has endeavored to bring together the information that will be the most helpful to the student, and to present it in such a manner that it will be of value to the beginner. He makes no claim of completeness for this outline only such exercises have been includecl as seem best adapted to a general course in horti- culture. JIost of theseexercises can be done in the laboratory, but after the fundamental principles have been thoroughly mastered field practice should be given in pruning, spraying, etc. The exercises are arranged in groups which naturally fall under a common head. It is not likely that the instructor can begin with the first exercise ancl continue uninterruptedly to the E LABORATORY MANUAL OF HORTICULTURE last he will probably find it desirable to make the order in which the exercises are used confornl to the work in hand. For instance, if the discussion is on buds and pruning, it will be advisable to turn to that section and work out those exercises. If the discussion is on seeds, then the laboratory exercises deal- ing with germination of seeds should be assigned, and so on through the book. Care should be taken, however, not to assign tasks based on preceding exercises that have not been already worked out or discussed. The author wishes to express his appreciation to Professor Wendell Paddock of the Ohio State University, Professors R. A. Einerson and J. R. Cooper of the University of Nebraska, and others for valuable suggestions offered in connection with this work. GEORGE l. HOOD CONTENTS EXERCISES PAGE I .

It is an unlikely combination of disasters that persuades Alan Trosper, the reluctant hero of William Hood's earlier novels Spy Wednesday and Cry Spy, to take up once again the tools of his craft: A State Department secretary, compromised by pornographic Russian surveillance photographs, is killed in a bizarre Central Park hit; and a former Moscow Center agent, now freelancing for himself, offers to sell evidence of the activities of a highly placed spy. The agent's letter also provides a clue that the security of the Firm itself may have been breached, and three of Trosper's former colleagues have come under suspicion. This compelling and utterly convincing story presents a new twist on the familiar theme of spy and counter-spy, for in place of the monolith of the Soviet Empire, Trosper now confronts an intelligence world fragmented beyond recognition, where agents scramble to attach themselves to new masters, where old allegiances cannot be trusted.

cover-up *Uncovers the amazing results of the CIA's Berlin tunnel operation and the remarkable progress of high-altitude spying A Look Over My Shoulder begins with President Nixon's attempt to embroil the CIA, of which Richard Helms was then the director, in the Watergate cover-up. Helms then recalls his education in Switzerland and Germany and at Williams College, his early career as a foreign correspondent in Berlin, during which he once lunched with Hitler, and his return to newspaper work in the United States. Helms served on the German desk at OSS (Office of Strategic Services) headquarters in London; subsequently, he was assigned to Allen Dulles's Berlin office in post-war Germany. On his return to Washington, Helms assumed responsibility for the OSS carry-over operations in Germany, Austria, and Eastern Europe. He remained in this post until the CIA was formed in 1947. During his tenure at the CIA, Helms served as a division chief; as chief of operations for Frank Wisner; as deputy director for plans (operations); as deputy director; and, ultimately, as director, from 1966 to 1973. He was appointed ambassador to Iran later that year, and he retired from government service in January 1977. A Look Over My Shoulder focuses on subjects such as intelligence collection, covert action, the uses and misuses of intelligence, and the problems secret intelligence encounters in an open society. It was often thought that Richard Helms, who served longer in the Central Intelligence Agency than anyone else, would never tell his story, but here it is- revealing, news-making, and with candid assessments of the controversies and triumphs of a remarkable career.

"A Classic in Counterintelligence -- Now Back in Print"

Originally published in 1987, "Thwarting Enemies at Home and Abroad" is a unique primer that teaches the principles, strategy, and tradecraft of counterintelligence (CI). CI is often misunderstood and narrowly equated with security and catching spies, which are only part of the picture. As William R. Johnson explains, CI is the art of actively protecting secrets but also aggressively thwarting, penetrating, and deceiving hostile intelligence organizations to neutralize or even manipulate their operations.

Johnson, a career CIA intelligence officer, lucidly presents the nuts and bolts of the business of counterintelligence and the characteristics that make a good CI officer. Although written during the late Cold War, this book continues to be useful for intelligence professionals, scholars, and students because the basic principles of CI are largely timeless. General readers will enjoy the lively narrative and detailed descriptions of tradecraft that reveal the real world of intelligence and espionage. A new foreword by former CIA officer and noted author William Hood provides a contemporary perspective on this valuable book and its author.
