 ful information, evince good taste and a lirnperajipreciation 

 of the beautiful, and no one should build a rural home with-

 pruning and transplanting."— i?o,s'to?!, Gii:;rt(^.

 the work a value even to those who possess the best works 

 on the cultivation offruit yet published." — Evening Post.

 reason for believing, most accurate to be obtained on the 

 subject" — Jf. Y. Evangelist. 



" A concise manual of the kind here presented has long 

 been wanted, and we will venture to say that, should this 

 volume be carefully studied and acted upon by our indus- 

 trious farmers, the quantity of fruit in the State would bo 

 doubled in five years, and the quality, too, greatly improved. 

 Here may be found advice suited \'^ all emergencies and 

 the genlleman farmer may find direction for the simplest 

 matters, as well as those which trouljle older heads. The 

 book, we think, will be found valuable." — Newark Daily

 buds, -and fruits, and is a valuable and pleasant book." —

 on the practical experience of the Author — is of far greater 



value to the cultivator th.in most of the popular compilations 

 on the sul)jecL"— iV. y. Ti-iliun-e. 



"This liouk Kupjyliefi a place in fruit culture, and that is 

 saying a great deal, while we have the popular works of 

 Downing, 'i'lioMULS, and (Vile. Mr. Barry has then a field to 

 himself whieh he oceiipie.s v/ith decided skill and ability."
