Octavo, 1122 Pages. 
The original work of the late A. J. Downing appeared 
In 1845. Some years after it was revised and much en¬ 
larged by his brother, Charles Downing, who has again 
completed the work of a second revision. Charles 
Downing is upon all hands acknowledged as one of out 
highest pomological authorities. He writes but seldom, 
but whatever bears his name is accepted as the judgment 
of one who is entirely disinterested, as far as the com¬ 
mercial aspects of pomology are concerned. The present 
edition contains the results of many years’ labor and ex¬ 
perience which have been devoted to testing the value 
of fruits and acquiring a knowledge of them that should 
benefit others. 
Recommendation fromIIon. MARSHALL P. WILDER, 
President of the American Pomological Socieij. 
Boston, Oct. 4, 1869. 
Gentlemen : 
I have received a copy from Mr. Charles Downing of 
the second revised edition of the "Fruits and Fruit 
Trees of America.” It is the most comprehensive of 
nny similar work, in fact a complete Encyclopedia of 
American Pomology brought down to the present time. 
The original edition by his brother, the late Andrew 
Jackson Downing, popular as it ever has been, is made 
doubly interesting and useful by this revision, compris¬ 
ing as it does the resultsof a long life of critical obscr 
vation. 
As a work of reference it has no equal in this country, 
and deserves a place in the library of every Pomolo 
gist in America. MARSHALL P. WILDER. 
This elegant and valuable work will he an indispensa¬ 
ble requisite to every library, and to all interested in 
Fruits or Fruit Culture.
