THE STONE FRUITS. 



THE Cherry, Plum, Prune, Apricot, Peach, and Nectarine are 

 classed together in Chapter XIV of Part I in discussing their history, 

 classification, propagation, and management, and their pruning is 

 discussed in Chapter XI, as they have much in common in culture, 

 care, spraying, and propagation. Grouping these fruits together 

 for description is also a more natural arrangement than the usual 

 alphabetical order in which they are placed in American pomological 

 books.
