BARKY’S 
FRUIT GARDEN. 
By P. BARRY. 
NOTICES 1ST THE PRESS. 
“ Barry’s Fruit Garden ” is one of those practical, pro¬ 
fusely illustrated, and 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). 
This volume of 490 pages, as its title implies, is devoted to 
the culture of fruits of every variety in 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 lor ridding trees of the evil.— Science American. 
Barry’s Fruit Garden strikes us as about as complete a 
manual of the kind as could be desired. Nearly everything, 
in line, needed seems to be provided in this compact volume, 
and its abundant illustrations render everything intelligible 
to even the uninitiated.— The Methodist (N. Y.). 
The author writes from his own practical experience ; and 
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 mino 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 400 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 live 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). 
We have orchardists, strawberry books, grape books, 
small-fruit books, and all that; what we want is one book 
for them all. Here we have it. It is quite a scientific work, 
too, giving more than mere arbitrary directions; we have 
the grounds for them. May we rely on what it says? A 
sufficient answer is that it comes from the office of the 
American Agriculturist.—Zion's Herald. 
FROM HON. MARSHALL P. WILDER, 
PRESIPHNT OP THE AMERICAN HOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 
Boston, April, 1872. 
Gentlemen: I have perused witli 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 poniologists. 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.
