" Tiiis work, so much wanted, appeals irresistibly to the eye and the 

 judgment of every cultivator of fruit. Tlie latest varieties are briefly but 

 conectly described ; the best qualities of each are stated ; and, not the 

 least merit, considerable pains are taken to systemise the wandering and 

 irregiilar nomenclature which prevails so much iu horticulture, and often 

 puzzles, not only the unlearned, but the professed gardener and pomo- 

 logist. We cannot too highly recommend this work, as valuable to con- 

 sult in the choice of fruits, and beautiful to look upon." — Lit. Gaz, 



" This is one of the inost pleasing publications that we have met with 

 for some tinie past, and is well worthy the attention of those whose de- 

 light is in the cultivation of fruit. The various specimens of the fiuits 

 given are coloured, and exceedingly well executed." — Murning Herald.
