By JOHN J. THOMAS. 
Tlie first edition of the Fruit Culturist, the basis of the 
present work, was written more than twenty years ago, and 
a year before tlie appearance of Downing's first edition of 
Fruits and Fruit Trees of America. It was subsequently 
much enlarged, and several revised editions afterwards ap¬ 
peared. Being intended as a guide to the practical cultiva¬ 
tor, its object is to furnisli useful directions in tlie manage¬ 
ment of the nursery, garden, and orchard, and to assis: in 
the selection of tlie best varieties for cultivation. It does 
not claim to be a complete work on tlie pomology of tlie 
country, but aims to give full descriptions only of valuable 
or promising fruits suited to tlie country at large, or which 
may have been popular in certain districts—varieties which 
are very little known, whose position or value is undeter¬ 
mined, or which have been found unworthy of further atten¬ 
tion, are consigned to the General Descriptive List and In¬ 
dex, where their leading characteristics are briefly noticed.

AMERICAN CATTLE. 
Their History, Breeding, and Management.

ILLUSTRATED. PRICE, POST-PAID, $2.50. 
This hook will he considered indispensable by every 
breeder of live-stock. Tlie large experience of tlie author 
in improving tlie character of American herds adds to tlie 
weight of liis observations, and has enabled him to produce 
a work which will at once make good its claims as a stand¬ 
ard authority on the subject. An excellent feature of the 
volume is its orderly, methodical arrangement, condensing 
a great variety of information into a comparatively small 
compass, and enabling the reader to find the point oh which 
he is seeking light, without wasting liis time in turning over 
the leaves.
