“ This is the most valuable of all the books which Mr. Dow¬ 
ning has contributed to the higher departments of our rural litera¬ 
ture, and it is the most charming book of the season. Some idea 
may be formed of its completeness from the fact of its containing 
a list of no less than 490 sorts of apples. Mr. Downing claims 
the right to talk about fruits and trees from having been bom in 
4 one of the largest gardens, and upon the banks of one of the no¬ 
blest rivers in Americaeverybody will concede the right since 
he has shown himself so competent to the task.”— Broadway 
Journal.

every fruit-grower should possess himself of its stores of infor¬ 
mation.”— U. S. Gazette.
