"The plates exhibiting the fruits are left unnumbered, so as to ad- 

 mit hereafter of being filled up in regular succession, when they will 

 have become sufficiently numerous to be classed and placed in rota- 

 tion under the specific headings. An alphabetical and explical in- 

 dex will accompany the last number of each volume." 



The publication of a work of this description is much want- 

 ed, and if properly conducted must become a desideratum to 

 every cultivator of fruit. It is intended to supply the same 

 place in the pomology of this country, which the Pomological 

 Magazine of Lindley did to the English cultivators of fruits. 

 So far, the plates have been very well drawn and richly col- 

 ored, and, with the improvements which will undoubtedly be 

 made as the work progresses, we may look for illustrations of 

 our fruits which will be recognizable by any common observer. 

 The work commences under the most favorable auspices.
