fruits. The author, in preparing a monograph upon the Apple, 

 concluded that it would serve the purpose of his readers better 

 if all the essentials of fruit-growing were placed in a separate and 

 initial volume. He has, therefore, delayed the preparation of the 

 Apple book until the coming winter. "The Principles of Fruit- 

 Growing" will be a unique book, and will bring the very best 

 science of the day to join hands with the very best practice. The 

 contents are as follows : Introductory Discussion, comprising an 

 inventory and classification of fruits, the fruit zones, the outlook 

 for fruit-growing; the Location and Its Climate, with a full dis- 

 cussion of frosts ; the Tilling of Fruit Lands ; the Fertilizing of 

 Lands ; the Planting of Orchards ; Secondary Care of Orchards ; 

 Why are Orchards Barren ? ; Diseases, Insects and Spraying ; 

 Picking and Packing and Storing Fruits, Shipping, etc.; Phy- 

 tography and Nomenclature.
