A NEW WORK. 
SMALL FRUIT CDLTURIST. 
I 
By ANDREW S. FULLER, 
PBACnCAL nOBTIOULTCKIST, BLDGBWOOD, BEBOEN CO„ X. J. 
A new work, and the only one devoted to Small Fruits. 
Special treatlsofl of this kind have the advantage that the 
aathor 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.

We predict that this work will bring >Ir. Fuller many 
enemies, as he has given his opinion about varieties 
without reserve. On the other hand it will the more 
strongly endear him to all true lovers of horticullare, 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 carcftilly 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 
la a valuable one, and in it arc figured all the baskets 
nd boxes now in common use. The book is very finely 
I thoroughly illustrated, and makes an admirable 
'UdIod to his Grupc Culturlst.
