This will prove a very valuable manual to those in America 

 who addict themselves to the cultivation of fruits. It is for 

 the Americans what Lindley's Guide to the Orchard and 

 Kitchen-Garden is to the British, except that the present 

 work confines itself to fruits. Its contents have been derived

 the works which the author could procure on his subject, and

 he has had recourse to. There is a good deal of patriotism 

 in the author's feeling; and he is anxious to promote the 

 passion for, and emulation in, gardening, which are now, in 

 America, on all sides, kindling into resultful action. The 

 book, too, may prove useful to British gardeners, as a means 

 of teaching them the qualities of certain American fruits.
