A NEW WORK. 
SMALL FRUIT CULTURIST. 
By ANDREW S. FULLER, 
PEACTIOAIi HOETICTJLTURIST, ELDQEWOOO, BERGEN CO., 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 go 
into greater detail, than in a work embracing both large 
and email fruits. The work covers the whole ground of 
Propagation, Culture, Varieties, Packing for Market, etc. 
Contents : Introduction— I. Babbeurt — II. Straw- 
berry — III. Raspberry — IV. Blackberry — V. Dwarf 
Cheery— VI. Currant— VII. Gooseberry— vrn. Cor- 
nelian Cherry — LX. Cranberry — X. Huckleberry — 
XI. Shepeedia— XII. Preparation for Gathering 
Fruit. 
We predict that this work will bring Mr. Fuller many 
enemies, as be has given his opinion about varieties 
without reserve. On the other hand it will the more 
strongly 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 the 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 book is very fmelj' 
and thoroughly illustrated, and makes an admirable 
companion to his Grape Culturist.

AMERICAN POMOLOGY. 
APPLES. 
By Doct. JOHN A. "WARDER, 
PRESIDENT OHIO TOPOLOGICAL SOCIETY ; VICE-PRESIDENT 
A3IERICAN P03IOLOGICAL SOCIETY, ETC. 
293 Illustrations. 
To pomologists a work by Dr. Warder will need no 
commendation. Though a citizen of Ohio, he is so sure 
to be at any penological gathering, be it East or West, 
that the whole country claims him, and if any one has a 
right to entitle his work A?nericari 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 band, the trouble was to 
decide what to leave out. It will be fonnd 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 Catalorpie 
Sai-sonni, 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 be 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 prove a great help to the pomologi6t. 
Fruit-growers will welcome this book as a valuable and 
long-wished for addition to poraological literature, and it 
will be found equally useful to the novice and the experi- 
enced orchardist. The work has 2!)3 illustrations, is 
printed on good paper and well bound.
