TABLE OF CONTENTS; 
Br FREDERICK MOHR, 
DOCTOR OD PHILOSOPHY AND MEDICINE. 
Translated from tlie German, and accompanied with 
Hints on the Propagation and General Treat¬ 
ment of American Yarieties. 
By HORTICOLA. 
This work is mainly devoted to the most elementary 
matters. It explains the structure and mode of growth 
of the vine so clearly that no intelligent person who reads 
it need he in douht what to do with his vines. It has 
heen well translated, and a chapter on the propagation of 
American varieties has heen substituted for the original 
one on multiplying the European grape. As anatomy is 
the foundation of surgery, so is a knowledge of the struc¬ 
ture of the vine to the vine dresser. In both cases it is 
as important to know when and where to cut, and how.

A new work, and the only one devoted to Small Fruits.

Tools.—Marking the lines.—W.ater courses.—Outlet.— 
Silt Basins.—Opening the ditches.—Grading.—Tile laying. 
—Connections.—Covering the tile and filling in.—Collect¬

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 of 
Propagation, Culture, Varieties, Packing for Market, etc.

We predict that this work will bring Mr. 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 hsrticulture, 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 heen more carefully 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, and in it are figured all the baskets 
and boxes now in common use. The hook is very finely 
and thoroughly illustrated, and makes an admirable 
companion to his Grape Culturist.
