Recommendation from Hon. Marshall P. Wilder, 

 President of the American Pomological Society : 



Uentltmeii ;— I have received a copy from Mr. Charles 

 Downing of the second revised edition of the "Fruits and 

 Fruit Trees of America." It is the most comprehen- 

 sive of iiny similar work, in fact A COMPLETE ENCY- 

 CLOPEDIA OK AMERICAN POM()L« k iV, brought down 

 to the present time. The original edition l)y his brother, the 

 late Andrew Jackson Downing, popular as "it ever has been, 

 is made doulily interesting and usetul by this revision, com- 

 prising the results of a long life of critical observations. 

 Asa work of reference it has no equal, and deserves a place 

 in the Library of every Pomologist in America.— Marshall 

 P. Wilder.
