THIED APPENDIX 



SECOND EEVISED EDITION. 



PKEFACE. 



"When the second Appendix to " Downing's Fruits and Fruit 

 Trees of America " was ])ub]islied it was nn* intention to revise 

 tlie wiiole work, correct tlie errors in the descriptions of fruits, 

 (lesci-ibe fully the new fruits, aud make the whole complete to the 

 ])resent time ; l)ut the publishers do not feel warranted in doin;'; 

 so at present, and I am obliged, therefore, to defer the revision ; 

 I have, however, at their urgent request, prepared this third Ap- 

 pendix. 



To the numerous friends of Pomology to whom I am iudebte<! 

 for specimens of fruit, and for information relating to them, 1 

 offer many thanks, and their names would have been acknowl- 

 edged if the third revised edition had been required by the pub- 

 lishers.
