AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST. 
A NEW WORK. 
SMALT. FRUIT OULTURIST. 
By ANDREW S. FULLER, 
FEACnCAL DOBTICULTrEIST, BIDOKWOOD. BEROEN CO,, N. J. 
A new work, and the only one devoted to Small Fruits. 
Special treatises of this kind have the advantage that the 
anthor can more thoroughly discuss his subject, and go 
into greater detail, than in a work embracing both large 
and small fruits. The work covers the whole ground of 
Propagation, Culture, Varieties, Packing for Market, etc. 
Contents: Intbodcction—I. Barberry—11. Straw- 
BERRT— III. Raspberry— rv. Blackberry— V. Dwabt 
Cherry— VI. Ccrrant— \’n. Gooseberry— Vm. Cor¬ 
nelian Cherry— IX. Cranberry- X. IIcckleberry- 
XI. Sheperdia— XIL Preparation tor Gatherino 
Frcit. 
We predict that this work wilt bring Mr. Fuller many 
enemies, as ho 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 
these wish to have the merits of fruit given without refer¬ 
ence to the persons wlio introduce them. 
While very fhll on all the small fruits, the Currants and 
Raspberries Imvo been more careftilly elaborated than 
ever before, and in this Important part of his book, the 
author has had the invaluable counsel of Charles 
Downing. The chapter on gathering and packing fruit 
is a valuable one, aud in it are figured all the baskets 
and boxes now in common use. The book is very finely 
and thoroughly illustrated, and makes an admirable 
companion to his Grape Culturist.
