AN INDEX TO ILLUSTRATIONS OF APPLES. 



153 



Fruits of America. F. M. Hovey. 1851. 2 vols. 



The plates are lithographs of no great merit. Young wood, spurs, 



and leaves are shown. 

 Herefordshire Fomona. Henry Graves Bull and Dr. Eobert Hogg. 

 1876-85. 



The colouring is fairly good; small fruiting spurs are generally shown, 



but no young wood. The leaves are not drawn with any real 



accuracy, and are not always shown. 

 La Flore et Pomone Frangaise. M. J. St. Hilaire. 1828. 



The plates are third rate. 

 Le Jardin Fruitier. Noisette. 1821 (1st Ed.) 



Leaves, flowers, and seeds are shown as well as fruits in most cases. 



Apples are not well-coloured. 

 Le Verger. A. Mas. 1872-1883. 



Plates carefully drawn and moderately-well coloured. 

 Magy'ar Pomologia. Etienne Molnar. 1900-1909. 



Large folio plates of artistic merit illustrating fruits of Hungarian 



origin and showing foliage. Text in Magyar and French, 

 Pomologia. Johann N. Knoop. 1758. 



Fruit alone figured. Drawing fair, colouring rather crude, but by no 



means mechanical. Important as an early book with coloured 



figures. 



Pomologie de la France. Par le Congres Pomologique. 1869 et seq. 

 Young wood and foliage shown with the fruits. Colouring and draw- 

 ing careful and generally good. 



Pomologia Britannica. J. Lindley. 1841. 3 vols. 



The fruits, leaves, and wood are generally shown, and are on the 

 whole well coloured. The dravv'ing is excellent. This was first 

 published in 1828-30 as the Pomological Magazine in 3 vols. 



Pomona Franconica. Jean Mayer. 1776. 



Plates fair in colour and careful in drawing, showing that details of 

 the eye, core, &c., were well appreciated. Text in German and 

 French. French titles are given where the name is in that language. 



Pomona Herefordiensis. Knight. 1811. 



Plates showing fruit, leaves and wood in the best style. 



Pomona Italiano. Giorgo Gallesio. 1817. 



A large and important work, but the execution of the plates is very 

 unequal. Some are of high merit, and many are extremely bad. 

 Figs are the important feature of this work, and are well delineated 

 in all cases. 



Pyrus Malus Brentfordiensis. Hugh Eonalds. 1831. 



The fruits alone are shown, but with great accuracy of detail in 

 drawing and colour. Without doubt the finest reproductions of 

 apples published in this country. 



Svensh Pomona. Olaf Eneroth. 1864-1866. 



Plates not numbered, and so are given in order of appearance. They 

 are coarsely coloured and badly drawn. It is included for the sake 

 of a few Swedish varieties not depicted elsewhere.
