jl diiwii two years ago last spring. The first 

 r tliev took root well, and were not injured by 

 wentlicr. In tlie spring following, they were 

 sseil, ami quite a luiinber of plants produced 

 pes. The season of trial was considered to he 

 following winter; but the last spring the roots 

 eared to be in a healthy state — they were 

 in trimmed, in the same manner that they are 

 ^rance, and have flourished in a most ln.\uriant 

 uier. A large portion of them are now in 

 essful bearinir — many of them have from ten 

 ftecn bunches on one stock, ofthe largest and 

 t delicious flavor. Mr L. is now sending 

 n to market, and will begin to realize this sea- 

 being only the third summer, some return for 

 arge investment and great labor. Mr L. states 

 his vines have conic forward more rapidly, 

 on the third year produce more fruit, than in 

 nee. He has, thus far, experienced no injury 

 1 the inclemency ofthe weather, although his 

 s have not been protected in the least. No 

 age or inconvenience has been experienced 

 1 insects, nor has there been any mildew. Mr 

 ays that the experiment has exceeded his 

 ; sanguine expectation, a;id has no doubt in 

 year more he will be able to furnish the tables 

 le citizens with a supply of all kinds known 

 'ranee, at a very moderate price. Mr L. is 

 ting himself to extend his culture as esten 

 y as possible. — A'. Y. D. Adv. 



' Pomologiccd Manual.'' 



Br WILLIAM PRINCE. 



To obviate the difficulties which 

 those who are strangers to the 

 qualities of the different fruits often 

 realize in endeavoring to make 

 their selections, is the object of 

 this publication. A descriptive work 

 by which every possessor of Fruit 

 Trees can himself test their identi- 

 ty, carries with it a guarantee for the correctness of Nur- 

 sery Establishments, at the same time that it nullifies the 

 cavillings of the ignorant, who often complain without 

 possessing sufficient inteUigence to understand the respec- 

 tive distinctions. 



' ThePomologic AL Manual' will comprise descrip- 

 tions in detail of the various Garden Fruits, viz. Apples 

 Pears, Peaches, Plums, Cherries, Apricots, Nectarines, 

 Almonds, Walnuts, Chesnuts, Mulberries, Quinces, Fil- 

 berts, Gooseberries, Raspberries, Strawberries, &c. &c. 

 The number of varieties therein described will be very 

 great, and will embrace all those comprised in the new- 

 edition of Duhamel, a work for which the first cost at 

 Paris is over $400 ; and also, the most important of those 

 contained in the Pomological Magazine and other works 

 of the highest note, — the object being to concentrate at a 

 cheap rate all the pomological information necessary and
