 Geese, and Swans, on British Breeds of Cattle, on the Cultivation 

 of Ruta Bagas, &c., &c., and a List vi Fruits recommended by tho 

 American Pomological Society at its last session. 



The work will be found invaluable to the Fruit Grower, and use- 

 ful to every one interested in Rural affairs.
