 Presidi'Ut of the American Pomological Society: 



(Jentlemen : — I have received a copy from Mr. C'larles 

 Downing of the second revised edition ol tati '*^'KU^rs and 

 Fruit Trees of America." Ir is th'? most cotuprehen- 

 sive of any similar work, in fact A COMFi^ETE ENCY- 

 CLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN POMOLOGY, brought down 

 to the present time. The original edition by his brother, the 

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

 is made doubly interesting aad useful by this revision, com- 

 prising tbe results of a loiig life of critical observations. 

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

 in the Library of every Pomologist in America.— Marshali.
