DESCRIPTIVE LIST AND INDEX OF FRUITS. 



[The following list contains the names of most of the varieties of 

 fruits cultivated in the United States, either local or widely dissemi- 

 nated, with brief notices of new sorts not described in the body of 

 the work and older varieties which are superseded and are passing 

 out of cultivation, but are retained in the lists as a matter of porno- 

 logical history. References from one name to another are always to 

 synonyms.]
