B OS TON,

Account of the most valuable Fruits and Vegetables 

 adapted to cultivation in the climate of the United States, 

 with their Modes of Culture and Management ; Reme- 

 dies for the Maladies to which they are subject Trom 

 Canker Worms, Borers, Sec. By Wk. KENRICK. 



This work will contain particular descriptions of from 700 to 800 

 select varieties of fruit, adapted to our varied climate, and r ;!' in- 

 clude the Olive and some most useful tropical fruits which may be 

 successfully cultivated in our Southern territories. 



The different modes by which the new varieties of fruit have been 

 obtained, will be described; modes of pruning and tiaining, by 

 which trees, &c, arc rendered fruitful : of grafting and inoculation ; 

 and of the modes of propagating usually adopted. 



It will contain descriptions (besides old sorts) of from 100 to 120 



rnrietica of Pears of UNDOUBTED EXCELLENCE; from 60 to 



80 of which are not particularly described and condensed in any one 



European volume which has hitherto reached us; some American, 



but chiefly the new and most approved Flemish varieties. 



The descriptions are partly from personal observation, and from 

 assistance received from some of the most intelligent horticulturists 

 of New England ; from the best writers of America, and the best 

 foreign productions ; the descriptions of Van Mons, the splt-ndid 

 edition of New Dohamel, the Porrio'.ogical Magazine, the superb 

 Pyrus Mains Brentfordiensis of Ronald, and Lindley's Guide to the 

 Orchafd and Kitchen Garden. From these it has been the constant 

 aim, to cull from their extremely varied and select lists, all that was 

 beautiful, excellent, productive and profitable. 



From these will be formed another select list, of those sorts already 

 approved with us, as the best and most productive. 



In regard to the new varieties of fruits of America and of Europe, 

 it will be the aim of the writer, to render this wo~\ particularly in- 

 teresting, and adapted to th( different sections of our highly favored 

 country. 



The very txest of late English works, we refer to those just n? ied, 

 those celebrated works which are beyond all doubt so admi, ably 

 adapted to the climate and country for which they were principally 

 designed, and as auxiliaries to us, are exti<;i..ely deficient in regard 

 to those native fruits which are with us so highly esteemed. 



It will be comprised in one volume of about 300 pages, ar.d will 

 be furnished for about, 4 ; I per copy.
