This work will contain particular descriptions of from 



700 to 800 select varieties of fru t. ailapted to our 



varied clirnatn, and will include 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 

 pruninij and tiaininff, by which trees, &c, are rendered 

 fruirful ; of giafting and inoculation ; and of the modes 

 of propagating usually a<lopled. 



It will contain descriptions (besides old sorts) of from 

 100 to 120 new varieties of Pears of undoubted ex- 

 cellence; from 60 to 80 of which are not particularly 

 described and condensed in any one European volume 

 whieh has hitherto reached us; some American, but 

 chiefly the new and most approved Ficujish varieties. 



The descriptions are partly from personal observation, 

 and from assistance received from some of the most in- 

 telligent horticulturists of New England ; fiom the best 

 writers of America, ami the best foreign productions ; the 

 desciiplions of Van Mons. the splendid edition of New 

 Duhamel,t)ie Pomological Magazine, the superb Pyrus 

 Mains Brentfordiensis of Ronald, and Lindley's Guide to 

 the Orchard and Kitchen Garden. From these it has 

 been the constant aim, to cull from their extremely varied 

 and select Hits, all that was beautiful, excellent, produc- 

 tive and jirnfitable. 



From these will be formed another select list, of those 

 sorts already approved with tis, as the best and most pro- 

 ductive. 



In regard to the new varieties of fruits of America and 

 of Europe, it will be the aim of the writer, to render this 

 woik particularly interesting, and adapted to the different 

 sections of our highly favored country. 



The very best of late English works, we refer to those 

 just named, those celebrated works which are beyond all 

 doubt so admirably adapted to the climate and country 

 for zfhich they were principally designed, and as auxili- 

 aries tons, arc extremely deficient in regard to those na- 

 tive fruits which are with us so highly esteemed. We 

 will instance some; with others it is even still worse. 



In their description of apples we find very fjw, scarce 

 half a dozen, of our frnc native varieties described 

 or even named : those fruits which agree so well with 

 us — the selections from the innumerable native orchards 

 of our country duringiwo cenlures. 



Th*y describe but one variety of our native pears, and 

 in the pi. ice of those not described, they recoii:mend to us 

 other varieties, the very sorts we have long since rejected 



They describe but ?u)o varieties of ournativ peaches, so 

 much admired by travellers ; some, the finest of the South 

 of Europe are equally unnoticed,^the fine selections 

 fiom thevast native orchards of this fruit at the South, for 

 distill, iiion, — all these, the productions of our own and otiiei 

 equally favored climates, are rejected from their lists as 



^ worthless ;^ not being adapted to their hostile seasons 

 and latitude, and not coming to full maturity and excel- 

 lence, even on the walls to which their cultivation is con- 

 fined. 



A few engravings may be furnished, such as a plan of 

 the Thomery mode of training Grape Vines ; the que- 

 nouillo mode of training trees, &c. 



It will be comprised in one volume of about 300 pages 

 and will be furnished for about $1 per copy. Feb. 22.
