| In order that the benefits resulting from the present advanced stage of Pomological 
‘knowledge may be generally diffused, the utmost pains have been taken to comprise 
lin the present Catalogue, ample descriptions of the respective varieties of Fruits, 
‘and it will be perceived at a glance, that no similar publication has ever appeared, 
that can bear any comparison with the present one in this respect. These descrip- 
itions have been mostly derived from an inspection of the fruits in the extensive 
‘specimen grounds of this establishment, and the young trees in the Nurseries con- 
/nected therewith are propagated from the same specimen trees from which the de- 
‘scriptions were made. The valuable Catalogue of the London Horticultural So- 
‘ciety has furnished collateral aid, and to our estimable friend, the late Robert Man- 
ning, and to William Kenrick and others, we are also indebted for an exchange of 
information. 
| Wherever an asterisk (+) precedes the name of a Fruit, it indicates American 
origin, and wherever the letters R. M. are found, they indicate that the variety was 
received from the late R. Manning. The correct name of each variety of fruit is 
Bes in Roman letters, and numbered; and the synonymes immediately follow, 
and are printed in italics.
