A NEW WORK. 
SMAT.T. FRUrr OULTURIST. 
By ANDREW S. FULLER, 
PEACTIGAL nORTIOULTUEIST, EIDQSWOOD, BEEGEN CO., H. J. 
A new work, and the only one devoted to Small Fruits. 
Special treatises, of this kind have the advantage that the 
author 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 ol 
Propagation, Culture, Varieties, Packing for Market, etc.

Cherry— VI. Currant— ^VII. Gooseberry— VIII. Cor¬ 
nelian Cherry— IX. Cranberry— X. Huckleberry— 
XI. Sheperdia- xn. Preparation for Gathering 
Fruit. 
We predict that this work will bring Mr. Fuller many 
enemies, as ho has given his opinion about varieties 
witliout 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 who introduce them. 
While very full on all the small fruits, the Currants and 
Raspberries have been more carefully elaborated than 
v.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, and in it are figured all the baskets 
and boxes now in common use. The book is very finelv 
and thoroughly illustrated, and makes an admirable 
companion to his Grape Culturist.

A NEW WOB-K ON APPUGS. 
AMERICAN POMOLOGY. 
APPLES. 
By Doct. JOHN A. WARDEE, 
president OHIO POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY ; VICE-PRESIDENT 
AMERICAN POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY, ETC. 
SOS IlliastratioMS. 
To pomologists a work hy 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 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, 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 w^as to 
decide what to leave out. It will he 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 hy eminent orchardists is a valuahle portion of 
the volume, while the Analytical Index or Catalogue 
Baisonne, as the French would say, is the most extended 
American fruit list ever published, aud 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 he tested hy practice. He di- 
^ddes apples into four classes, according to their foi-ms. 
Each of these classes is suh-divided hy other obvious 
characters, and it would seem that any apple described in 
the hook 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 pomological literature, and it 
will be found equally useful to the novice and the experi¬ 
enced orchardist. The work has 293 illustrations, is 
printed on good paper and well hound.
