By I\ez/. K. P Roe. 
We desire to call especial attention of our friends to this, the most comprehensive and trustworthy work on the 
subject yet published. It is beautifully illustrated, printed on the finest paper, and handsomely bound. Prof. W. 
j i; ea [ 0 f the Michigan Agricultural College, says of it: “ It must do a good deal towards accomplishing the desire 
of the author, /. e. to make the growing of small fruits more general and more attractive. Mr Roe speaks from a 
wide and successful experience. The facts are attractively presented, and a full index will enable the very busy 
man to find any topic he may desire at any time. In all that pertains to berries, we have nothing to compare with 
it, in out country, or any other.” Sent, prepaid, on receipt of price, $3.50.
