FRUIT GARDEN. 
By P. BARRY. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
“Barry's Fruit Garden” is one of those practical, pro¬ 
fusely illustrated, aud comprehensive manuals which Orange 
Judd & Co. delight to publish. It seems to tell almost 
everything which one book can tell about the ins and outs 
and ways and means of fruit culture. — The Advance 
(Chicago). 
Tills volume of i!)0 pages, as its title implies, is devoted to 
the culture of fruits of every variety iit orchards and gar¬ 
dens. It describes the diseases incident to the various fruit 
trees, the kinds of insects that prey upon them, and the 
remedies for ridding trees of the evil.— Scientific American. 
The author writes from his own practical experience ; aud 
that experience is of no ordinary character, being the result 
of more than thirty years’ work at the head of the largest 
nursery in America, where every operation is conducted 
with eminent skill.— The Country Gentleman , 
It explains all the minutiae of fruit-gardening, even to the 
implements, copiously illustrated by engravings, so that the 
merest novice need not err; gives descriptions of all the 
different kinds of fruit that can be raised in our climate in 
every stage of their lives, from the germ to the fruit-bearing 
period, with instructions In pruning and grafting, in a most 
satisfactory manner. The chapter on grapes alone is worth 
more than the price of the book.— Jersey City Times. 
It is a rich mine of information upon fruits of all kinds 
and their proper culture.— Providence Press. 
Mr. Barry has long been known as an authority upon fruit 
culture, and this volume of -100 pages, with a full and care¬ 
fully prepared index, gives the latest results of his study 
and experience.— Springfield Republican. 
This beautiful volume, of nearly five hundred pages, will 
be cordially welcomed by every lover of nature. It is the 
most perfect work we have seen on the whole subject, and 
well deserves a wide circulation.— United Presbyterian 
(Pittsburgh). 
Wo have orcliardists, strawberry books, grape books, 
small-fruit books, and all that; what we want is one hook 
for them all. Here wo have it. It is quito a scientific work, 
too, giving more than mere arbitrary directions; we have 
the grounds for them. May wo rely on what it says? A 
sufllcient answer Is that it comes from the office of the 
American Agriculturist,—Zion’s Herald.

Boston, April, 187’. 
Gf.ntlemex ; I have perused with great pleasure the new 
and improved edition of Mr. Barry’s book. It is in every 
respect desirable, and will receive the approbation of our 
best pomologists. It is the result of a long life of expe¬ 
rience, and admirably calculated to meet the demands of 
our age. I give it a hearty welcome.

S. S. WOOD & CO., Newburgh, N. Y.: 
Gentlemen— Your Household Magazine gives good satisfaction; in fact, those taking it at this office are happily disap¬ 
pointed. And as for the Organ you ordered, we do not wisli a better one. The children are perfectly delighted, and 
children of a larger growth are generally pleased. Perhaps I can no better show our satisfaction in the success of our 
undertaking than to send you the inclosed [following], written [for the South Haveu Sentinel] by Mr. O. S. Shaw, the 
leader of our choir. Yours truly, D. B. ALLEN. 
How to do It. 
Covert, March 18th, 1872. 
Mr. Editor— On the ninth day of January last, a copy of Wood’s Household Magazine strayed into the Covert Post- 
office, and our Postmaster, Mr. D. B. Allen, who is also Superintendent of our Sabbath-School, in glancing over the con¬ 
tents, noticed the offer to any Club, Lodge, or Sabbatli-Scliool, of a Smith's American Organ, lor tile price of the instrument 
in subscriptions to the Magazine. Here, thought our Superintendent, is our opportunity; we need an Organ, and we need 
good reading, why may we not have both? The price of the Magazine is one dollar per year, and for one hundred and 
twenty-live subscribers we can have a No. 1 Organ, price $125.00. With characteristic promptness lie presented the matter 
to the school next day, and, though the scheme appeared visionary to the most of us, the ball was set ill motion, and it was 
not suffered to rest until one hundred and fifty-three names were obtained, which, witn the addition of twelve dollars in 
cash, entitled us to a Smith’s American Organ, style No. 3, price one hundred and sixty-five dollars. The list, with the cash, 
was sent to the publishers, the Organ was promptly forwarded, and last Sabbath its powerful tones filled our place of wor* 
shin fnr the first time. We ran ebeerfnllv testify to the reliability of the publishers of Wood’s Household Magazine. Tliev 
Wood’s Magazine is an original dollar monthly, employing the very best contributors and an able corps of editors, in¬ 
cluding Gail Hamilton. Specimens mailed free. Address

The value of advertising good articles largely in the best 
mediums is indicated by the following facts: 
HEARTH AND HOME, which lias been prominently ad¬ 
vertised in tile leading papers throughout the country dur¬

The intelligent, thrifty, buying classes find It just what

Advertisements of patent and quack medicines, deceptive 
schemes, swindling agencies, and unreliable parties, are 
more rigorously excluded than from any other journal ex¬ 
cept The American Agriculturist. The readers know this, 
and therefore readily patronize those who are admitted.
