A NEW WORK ON APPLES. 
AMERICAN POMOLOGY. 
APPLES. 
By Doer. JOHN A. WARDER, 
PRESIDENT OHIO P03IOLOSICA1 SOCIETY ; VICE-PRESIDENT 
AMERICAN POMOLOGICAL SOCIETT, ETC. 
S9» Illustrations. 
To nomologists a work rjy Dr. Warder will need no 
commendation. Though a citizen of Ohio, he is so sure 
to bo at any pomological gathering, be it East or West, 
that the whole country claims him, and if any one has a 
right to entitle his work American Pomology it is certain- 
ly Dr. Warder. The present is the first instalment of a 
work intended to cover the whole ground. In it the 
author has attempted the difficult task of bringing apples 
into something like order. 
This volume has about 750 pages, the first 375 of which 
are devoted to the discussion of the general subjects of 
propagation, nursery culture, selection and planting, cul- 
tivation of orchards, care of fruit, insects, and the like ; 
the remainder is occupied with descriptions of apples. 
With the richness of material at hand, the trouble was to 
decide what to leave out. It will be found that while the 
old and standard varieties are not neglected, the new and 
promising sorts, especially those of the South and West, 
have prominence. A list of selections for different lo- 
calities by eminent orchardists is a valuable portion of 
the volume, while the Analytical Index or Catalogue 
Rakonnc, as the French would say, is the most extended 
American fruit list ever published, and gives evidence of 
a fearful amount of labor. 
This differs from any fruit book heretofore published in 
this •country, In its complete classification of apples. The 
author gives the principal European systems and mod- 
estly puts forth his own to bo tested by practice. lie di- 
vides apples into four classes, according to their forms. 
Each of these, classes is sub-divided by other obvious 
characters, and it would seem that any apple described in 
the book might be easily identified. We trust that this 
will provo a great help to the pomologist. 
Fruitgrowers will welcome this book as a valuable and 
long-wished for addition to pomological literature, and it 
will be found equally useful to the novice and the experi- 
enced orchardisl. The work has 203 Illustrations, Is 
printed on good paper and well bound.

The Miniature Fruit Garden, 
OR THE CULTURE OF 
Pyramidal and Bush Frnit Trees. 
BY THOMAS KIVEUS. 
Nothing is more gratifying than tho cultivation of 
dwarf fruit trees, and this work tells how to do it success- 
fully. 
Dwarf Apples and Pears 
are beautiful ornaments, besides being useful in giving 
abundant crops of fruit ; they can be grown in 
Small Gardens and City Yards, 
and be readily removed. The work also gives the man- 
ner of training upon walls and trellises. 
Root Pruning 
is fully explained, and methods of protection from frosts 
are given. 
Dwarf Cherries and Plums 
are treated of as are other dwarf trees. Directions are 
also given for growing 
Fig's and Fiiberts. 
This little work is full of suggestions to tho cultivator, 
and like all the writings of its venerable author, bears 
the marks of long experience in the practice of fruit 
growing.

IVIy Vineyard at Lakeview; 
Or, Successful Crape Culture. 
To any one who wishes to grow grapds, whether a single 
vine or a vineyard, tins hook Is full of valuable teachings. 
The author gives not only'bis success, but what is of 
quite as much importance, his failure. It tells just what 
the beginner in grape culture wishes to know, with tho 
charm that always attends the relation of personal ex- 
perience. 
It is especially valuablo as giving an account of the 
processes actually followed in 
Celebrated Grape Regions 
in Western New York and on the shores and islands of 
Lake Erie. 
This book is noticed by a writer in the Horticulturist 
for August last as follows : " Two works very different in 
character and value have just been published and seem to 
demand a passing notice. The better and less pretentious 
of the two is 'My Vineyard at Lakeview,' a charming 
little book that professes to give the actual experience of 
a western grape grower, detailing not nnly his successes, 
but his blunders and failures. It is written in a pleasant 
style, without any attempt at. display, and contains much 
advice that will prove useful to a beginner — the more use- 
Ad, because derived from the experience of a man who 
had no leisure for fanciful experiments, but has been 
obliged to make his vineyard support himself and his 
family."
