The Miniature Fruit Garden ; 



OR, 



THE CULTURE OF PYRAMIDAL AND BUSH FRUIT TREES, 



BY THOMAS RIVERS. 



ILLUSTRATED. 



Mr. Rivers is one of the oldest and best known of the English nursery- 

 men and orchardists. The popularity that his work has attained in Eng- 

 land is shown by the fact that our reprint is from the Thirteenth London 

 Edition. This treatise is mainly devoted to 



Dwarf Apples and Pears. 



Nothing is more gratifying than the cultivation of dwarf fruit trees, and 

 this work tells how to do it successfully. These miniature trees are beauti- 

 ful ornaments, besides being useful in giving abundant crops of fruit ; they 

 can be grown in 



Small Gardens and City Yards, 



and be removed without injury, almost as readily as a piece of furniture. 

 The work also gives the manner of training upon walls and trellises. 



Root Pruning 



is fully explained, and various methods of protection from frosts are given. 



Dwarf Cherries and Plums 



are treated of as are other dwarf trees. Directions are also given for 

 growing 



Figs and Filberts. 



While written for the climate of England, its suggestions are valuable 

 everywhere, and no one who grows dwarf trees should be without this little 

 work, in which is condensed the whole practice of the author, and which, 

 like all his writings, bears the marks of long experience in the practice of 

 fruit growing.
