AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST. 
THE SMALL FRUIT CULTURIST. 
BY ANDREW S. FULLER. 
We have heretofore had no work espe¬ 
cially devoted to small fruits, and cer¬ 
tainly no treatises anywhere that give 
the information contained in this. It is 
to the advantage of special works that 
the author can say all that he has to say 
on any subject, and not bo restricted as 
to space, as he must be in those works 
that cover the culture of all fruits—great 
and small. 
This book covers the whole ground of 
Propagating Small Fruits, their Culture, 
Varieties, Packing for Market, etc. 
While very full on the other fruits, the 
Currants and Raspberries have been 
more carefully elaborated than ever be¬ 
fore, and in this important part of his 
book, the author lias had the invaluable 
counsel of Charles Downing. The chap¬ 
ter on gathering and packing the fruit is a 
valuable one, and in it are figured all the 
baskets and boxes now in common use. 
BEAUTIFULLY 
The book is very finely and thoroughly 
illustrated, and makes an admirable 
companion to the Grape Culturist, by the 
same well known author.

AMERICAN POMOLOGY. 
APPLE s. 
BY DOCT. JOHN A. WARDER, 
PRESIDENT OB- THE OHIO POMOLOSICAL SOCIETY; VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAN POMOLOGICAI, SOCIETY. 
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, cultivation 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 bo found that while the old and stand¬ 
ard varieties are not neglected, tlie new and 
promising sorts, especially those of the South 
and West, have prominence. A list of selec¬ 
tions for diflerent localities by eminent orcliard- 
ists is a valuable portion of the volume, while 
the Analytical Index or Caialotjva Kaisonne , as 
the French would say, is the most extended 
American fruit list ever published, and gives 
evidence of a veiy great amount of labor.
