DESCRIPTIVE LIST AND INDEX OF FRUITS. 



[The following lists contain the names of the more common or well known 

 varieties of fruit, either local or widely disseminated, with brief notices of 

 those not described in the body of the work. A few are new sorts of high 

 promise, which, when tested, may yet take their places among standard 

 varieties. It will be understood that when reference is made from one name 

 to another, the latter is a synonym of the former.]
