To pomologist3 a work by Dr. Warder will need no 
commendation. Though a citizen of Ohio, he is so sure 
to he at any pomological gathering, he 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 volnme 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 
Itaisomic, 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. He 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 pomologist. 
Fruit-growers will welcome this book as a valuable and 
long-wished for addition to penological lilcratnrc, and it 
will be found equally useful to the novice and the experi- 
enced orchardist. The work lias 203 illustrations, is 
printed on good paper and well bound.

GARBEMNG FOR PROFIT, 
IN THE MARKET AND FAMILY GARDEN, 
BY PETEK HENDERSON. 
Illustrated. 
This is the first work on Market Gardening ever pub. 
lished in this country. Its anther is well known as a 
market gardener of eighteen years 1 successful experience. 
In this work he has recorded this experience, and given 
without reservation the methods necessary to the profita- 
ble culture of the commercial or 
MARKET GrAJEHDEEV. 
It Is a work for which there has long been a demand, 
and one which will commend itself, not only to those 
who £row vegetables for sale, but to the cultivator of the 
FAMILT GAEBEN 
To whom it presents methods qnite different from the 
old ones generally practiced. It is an 
ORIGINAL AND PURELY AMERICAN 
work, and not made up, as books on gardening too often 
are, by quotations from foreign, authors. 
Everything i3 made perfectly plain, and the subject 
treated in all its details, from the selection of the soil to 
preparing the products for market. Frames, Hot-beds, 
and Forcing Houses, the management of which is usually 
eo troublesome to the novice, are fully described, and the 
conditions of success and causes of failure clearly stated 
The success of the market gardeners near New York 
City is proverbial, and this is the only work that sets forth 
the means by which this success has been attained. Val- 
uable hints arc given to those who would raise Vegetables 
at the South for northern markets.
