Hints on the Propagation and General Treat- 
ment of American Varieties. 
Br nORTJCOLA. 
This work 13 mainly devoted to the most elementary 
matters. It explains the structure and mode of growth 
of the vine so clearly that no intelligent person who reads 
it need be in doubt what to do with his vines. It has 
been well translated, and a chapter on the propagation of 
American varieties has been substituted for the original 
one on multiplying the European grape. As anatomy is 
the foundation of surgery, so i3 a knowledge of the struc- 
ture of the vine to the vine dresser. In both cases it is 
as important to know when and where to cut, and how.

A NEW WORK. 
SMALL FRUIT CULTTTRIST. 
By ANDREW 9. FULLER, 
PRACTICAL HORTIOrrLTTJRTST, BXDQXW90D, BKROKW 00., N. J. 
A new work, and the only one devoted to Small Fruits, 
Special treatises of this kind have the advantage that the 
author can more thoroughly discuss his subject, and ;;c 
into greater detail, than, in a vrork embracing both large 
and email fruits. The work covers the whole ground of 
Propagation, Culture, Varieties, Packing for Market, etc. 
Contexts : Introduction— I. Bap.retuiy— II. Straw- 
berry—To. Raspberry— IV. Blackberry— V. Dwabj 
Cherry— VI. Currant— VII. Gooseberry— VTTI. Cor- 
nelian Cherry— IS. Cranberry— S. Huckleberry— 
XI. Shepsrdia— XII. Preparation for Gatherino 
Fruit. 
We predict that this work will bring Mr. Fuller many 
enemies, as he has given his opinion about varieties 
without reserve. On the other hand it will the more 
Btvongly endear him to all true lovers of horticulture, as 
these wish to have the merits of fruit given without refer- 
ence to the persons who introduce them. 
While very full on all tho small fruits, the Currants and 
Raspberries have been more carefully elaborated than 
ever before, and in this important part of his book, the 
author has had the invaluable counsel of Charles 
Downing. The chapter on gathering and packing fruit 
is a valuable one, and in it are figured all the baskets 
and boxes now in common use. The bonk is very finely 
and thoroughly illustrated, and makes au admirable 
companion to his Grape Culturist.
