proved at Paris, by M. Jamin, and described by him 

 Those same kinds which are marked D. have also been 

 lately proved, by M. Dalbret, the superintendent of the 

 compartment of fruits, at the Garden of Plants at Paris. 

 Of the numerous new and fine varieties, which I procured 

 of M. Jamin, I have particularly described in this class 

 but twenty-five kinds, and those only which he designated 

 to me as fruits the most extraordinary ; most of them 

 being also quite new, and not then known in commerce. 

 Trees of nearly every kind described in this class, are al- 

 ready in our country. 



A. denotes those kinds of American origin. 



E. denotes those kinds which are native English. 



F. denotes most of those kinds which are natives of France. 

 Most of all the rest are of the new Flemish kinds.
