Vili PREFACE. 
F. R. Elhott, who has politely assented to our 
use of some of the accurate drawings of fruits 
from his new Fruit Book and Guide. 
Our Appendix embraces much valuable ori- 
ginal as well as selected matter, which will 
place before our readers the views of others, 
beside our own, and will enable them to exer- 
cise their own intelligent judgment, and lead to 
successful practice.
