A NEW WORK. 
SMALL FRUIT GULTURIST. 
By ANDREW S. FULLER, 
PBACTIOAL HORTIOULTUEIST, EIDGEWOOD, 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 Bmall fruits. The work covers the whole ground of 
Propagation, Culture, Varieties, Packing for Market, etc. 
Contents: Introduction— I. Bakbekry— II. Straw- 
beery— HI. Raspberry— IV. Blackberry— V. Dwarf 
Cherry— VI. Currant— VII. Gooseberry— VUI. Cor- 
nelian Cherry— LX. Cranberry— X. Huckleberry— 
XI. Sheperdia— XII. Preparation for Gathering 
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 
strongly endear him to all true lovers of horticulture, as 
theBe 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 
aullior has had the invaluable counsel of Charles 
Downing. The chapter on gathering and packing fruit 
i8 a valuable one, and in it are figured all the baskets 
and boxes now in common use. The book is very flnelr 
and thoroughly illustrated, and makes an admirable 
companion to his Grape Culturist.
