ADDRESS. 



THIS little Work, which has been arranged at intervals 

 snatched from the Authors professional avocations, is offered 

 with diffidence to the public, as he is aware that, notwithstanding 

 his best endeavours to render it as correct as possible, it may con- 

 tain errors which have been overlooked, and for the correction of 

 which he will be thankful to any of his friends. He trusts, how- 

 ever, that this humble attempt will be found in some degree 

 useful in promoting the object designed by the publication of it, 

 which was that of increasing the taste for Horticulture amongst 

 ladies and gentlemen, by making them acquainted with the nature 

 and qualities of those Plants and Fruits which they may already 

 possess, or may in future wish to acquire.
