own minds as to the cause of many circumstances which occur in the 
prosecution of their business. 
The author has fully explained his own peculiar practical methods 
of pruning and training fruit trees, with engraved illustrations of the 
same. This part of the book is interesting, especially to young hands, 
who ought to store their minds with every thing said or written on so 
important a part of gardening. No book ever written on the subject 
but contains something worthy of acceptation; and that now before 
us certainly deserves a place in every horticultural library. As 
proof of the author’s sincerity, and fearlessness of having his trees 
examined by practical men, he says in an advertisement bound up with 
the book, that as regards his “ plans of training (which some practical 
gardeners have been pleased to consider altogether speculative), I shall 
be happy to afford to any one who will do me the favour of inspecting 
my garden the most satisfactory evidence of their feasibility ; the illus¬ 
trative figures being, in fact, almost all sketched from trees now in a 
course of training by myself.”
