CHARLES DOWlSTINGf. 



Octavo, 1122 pages. 



The original work of tlie late A. J. Downing appeared in 1845, Some 

 years after it was revised and much enlarged by his brother, Charles Downing, 

 who has again completed the Avork of a second revision, Charles Downing is 

 upon all hands acknowledged as one of our highest pomological authorities. 

 He writes but seldom, but whatever bears his name is accepted as the judg- 

 ment of one who is entirtly disinterested, as far as the commercial aspects of 

 pomology are concerned. The present edition contains the results of many 

 years' labor and experience, which have been devoted to testing the value of 

 fruits, and acquiring a knowledge of them that should benefit others. 



Recommendation from Hon. MAESHALL P, WILDEE, President of the 

 American Pomological Society. 



Boston, October 4, 1869. 

 Gentlemen : I have received a copy from Mr. Charles Downing of the 

 pecond revised edition of " Fruits and Fruit Trees of America." It is 

 the most comprehensive of any similar work— in fact, a complete Encyclo- 

 pedia OP American Pomology brought down to the present time. 



The original edition by his brother, the late Andrew Jackson Downing, 



popular as it ever has been, is made doubly interesting and useful by this 



revision, comprising as it does the results of a long life of critical observation. 



As a work of reference, it has no equal in this country, and deserves a 



place in the library of every pomologlst in America. 



MARSHALL P. WILDER. 



This elegant and valuable work will be an indispensable requisite to every 

 library, and to all interested in Fruits or Fruit Culture.
