Tliis volume has about 750 pages, the first 375 of which are de 

 roted to the discussion of the general subjects of propagation, nur- 

 sery culture, selection and planting, cultivation of orchards, care of 

 fruit, insects, and the like ; the remainder is occupied with descrip- 

 tions of apples. With the richness of material at hand, the trouble 

 was to decide what to leave out. It will be found that while the 

 old and standard varieties are not neglected, the new and promising 

 sorts, especially those of the South and West, have prominence. 

 A list of selections for different localities by eminent orchardists ia 

 a valuable portion of the volume, while the Analytical Index 01 

 Catalogue JZaisonnS, as the French would say, is the most extended 

 American fruit list ever published, and gives evidence of a fearful 

 amount of labor.
