To pomolojist* a work by Dr. Warder will need no 
commendation. Though a citizen of Ohio, he is so sure 
to be at any pomological gathering, be 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 lias attempted the difficult task of bringing apples 
into something like order. 
This volume has about TjO pages, the first 875 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 was to 
decide what to leave out. It will be found that while the 
old and standard varieties arc not neglected, the new and 
promising sorts, especially those of the South and West, 
have prominence. A list of selections for different lo¬ 
calities by eminent orchardlsts is a valuable portion of 
the volume, while the Analytical Index or Catalogue 
Eaitonni, as the French would say, is the most extended 
American fmit list ever pubUshed, and 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. Tha 
author gives the principal European systems and mod¬ 
estly puts forth his own to be tested by pracUcc. Do di¬ 
vides apples into four classes, according to their forms. 
Each of these classes is sub-divided by other obvious 
characters, and it would seem that any apple described in 
the l)ook might be easily identified. Wo trust that this 
will prove a great help to the pomologlst. 
Fnnt-growers will welcome this book as a valuable and 
long-wished for addition to pomological literature, and it 
will bo found equally useful to the novice and the experi¬ 
enced orchardist. The work has 203 illustrations, is 
printed on good paper and well bound,
