PREFACE TO NEW EDITION, 1866.

In presenting this new edition of our Descriptive and [lustrated Catalogue of
Fruits, it may not be out of place to say a few words in relation to the advance in
prices. We regret the necessity for this advance more than our customers can do,
but it is unavoidable. We must either advance, or abandon the business. We are
now paying for all kinds of labor, and material used, just about twice as much as
before the war, and this with all the extra taxes and burthens resulting from that, has
so increased the cost of production, that at old prices we could not pay expenses.

We believe the public will cheerfully pay Nurserymen a price that will enable them
to produce good stock and maintain the character and usefulness of their establish
ments. As soon as the times will justify a reduction in prices, we will make it
promptly and cheerfully. We shall endeavor in the future, as in the past, to make
our establishment both useful and creditable to the country, and hope for a continu-
ance of that liberal patronage which we have received during the past quarter of a
century.

We invite special attention to the notice on the following page, headed “ Advice
to Correspondents.” |

ADVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS.

CORRESPONDENTS Will greatly oblige, by observing, as far as possible, the following
regulations :

ist. All orders should be legibly written out in a list, and not mixed up in the
body of the letter; this will save us much trouble, and at the same time prevent
mistakes. 3

2d. The names of everything ordered should be plainly written out.

3d. In ordering Fruit Trees, it should in all cases be stated whether standard
trees are wanted for orchards, or dwarfs or pyramids for gardens, and on what sort
of stocks each kind is desired ; and where it is left for us to choose varieties, the soil
and situation should be described as correctly as possible.

4th. Where particular varieties are ordered, and particular ages and sizes of trees,
kinds of stocks, &e., it should be stated whether, and to what extent, other varieties,
sizes, ages, &c., may be substituted in case the order cannot be filled to the letter, as
happens occasionally in all establishments. Our rule is not to substitute in any case,
without being expressly requested to do so.

5th. All trees and plants are carefully labelled and packed in the best manner for
any part of the United States, Canada or Europe, for which a moderate charge is
made, and no charge is made for the delivery of packages at the railroad or canal.

6th. It is requested that explicit directions for marking and shipping packages
accompany each order. Where it is left to us to choose the mode of conveyance, we
will exercise our best judgment; but in all cases the articles are at the risk of the pur-
chaser after being shipped; and tf delay or loss occurs, the forwarder alone must be held
responsible.

7th. All orders from unknown correspondents must be accompanied with a draft
on some of the principal cities for the amount, or references that will be satisfactory.

8th. Our customers are requested to notify us instantly of any errors that may be
comiitted in filling their orders, in order that we may at once make ample amends,
as we desire to conduct our business in all respects satisfactorily to those who favor
us with their confidence.

The following Catalogues will be sent pre-paid upon the receipt of postage stamps
as' follows: Nos. 1 and 2, ten cents each, No. 3, five cents, No. 4, three cents.

No. 1.—A Descriptive and Illustrated Catalogue of Fruits.

HINTS ON TRANSPLANTING, &c.

Wecannot attempt to give complete directions on all points connected with Tree .
Planting, but simply a few hints on the more important operations. Every man who
purchases a bill of Trees, should put himself in possession of “ THE FRUIT GARDEN,” }
or some other treatise on Tree Culture, that will furnish him with full and reliable
instructions on the routine of management. Transplanting is to be considered under
the following heads :

1st. THE PREPARATION OF THE SOIL.—For Fruit Trees the soil should
be dry, either naturally, or made so by thorough drainage, as they will not live or
thrive on a soil constantly saturated with stagnant moisture. It should also be
well prepared by twice plowing, at least, beforehand, using the subsoil plow after the
common one, at the second plowing. On new, fresh lands, manuring will be unne-
cessary ; but on lands exhausted by cropping, fertilizers must be applied, either by
turning in heavy crops of clover, or well decomposed manure orcompost. To ensure
a good growth of Fruit Trees, land should be in as good condition as for a crop of
> wheat, corn, or potatoes.

2d. THE PREPARATION OF THE TREES.—In regard io this important
operation, there are more fatal errors committed than on any other. As a general
thing, trees are placed in the ground precisely as they are sent from the Nursery. In
removing a tree, no matter how carefully it may be done, a portion of the roots are
_ broken and destroyed, and consequently the balance that existed in the structure of
the tree is deranged. This must be restored by a proper pruning, adapted to the
size, form and condition of the tree as follows: _ As

STANDARD ORCHARD TREES.—These, as sent from the Nursery, vary from five to
eight feet in height, with naked stems or trunks, and a number of branches at the
top forming a head. These branches should be all cut back to within three or four
buds of their base. This lessens the demand upon the roots, and enables the remain-
ing buds to push with vigor. In the case of older trees of extra size, the pruning must
be in proportion ; as a general thing, it will be safe to shorten all the previous year’s
shoots to three or four buds at their base, and where the branches are very numerous,
_ Some may be cut out entirely.

PYRAMIDAL TrEEs.—If of two or three year’s growth, with a number of side
branches, will require to be pruned with a two-fold object in view, viz: The growth
of the tree and the desired form. The brarches must be cut into the form of a pyra-
mid by shortening the lower ones, say one-half, those above them shorter, and the
upper ones around the leading shoot to within two or three buds of their base. The
leader itself must be shortened back one-half or more. When trees have been dried
or injured much by exposure, the pruning must be closer than if in good order.

a

6

DwaRF STANDARD TREES AND DwarFr BusHEs—Must be pruned as recom-

_ mended for standards, aiming at producing a round, well-proportioned head, with

the main branches regularly distributed and far enough apart to admit air freely to
all parts.

YHARLING TREES INTENDED FOR PyRAMIDS.—Some of these may have a few
side branches, the smallest of which should be cut clean away, reserving only the
strongest and the best placed. In other respects they will be pruned as directed for
trees of two years’ growth.

Those having no side branches should be cut back so far as to insure the production

- of a tier of branches within six inches or less of the ground. <A strong yearling»

4

four to six feet, may be cut back about half, and the weaker ones more than that. It
is better to cut too low than not low enough, for if the first tier of branches be not
low enough, the pyramidal form cannot afterwards be perfected.

3d. PLANTING.—Dig hotes in the first place, large enough to admit the roots of
thetree to spread out in their natural position. Then, having the tree pruned as
above directed, let one person hold it in an upright position, and the other shovel in —
the earth, carefully putting the finest and the best from the surface in among the
roots, filling every interstice, and bringing every root in contact with the soil. When
the earth is nearly filled in, a pail of water may be thrown on to settle and wash in
the earth around the roots; then fill in the remainder, and tread gently with the foot.
The use of water is seldom necessary, except in dry weather, early in fall or late in
spring. Guard against planting too deep ; the trees, after the ground settles, should
stand in this respect as they did in the Nursery. Trees on dwarf stocks should stand
so that all the stock be under the ground, and no more. In very dry, gravelly ground,
the holes should be dug twice the usual size and depth, and filled in with good loamy
soil.

4th. STAKING.—If trees are tall and much exposed to winds, a stake should be
planted with the tree, to which it should be tied in such a manner as to avoid chafing.
A piece of matting or cloth may be put between the tree and the stake.

5th. MULCHING.—When the tree is planted, throw around it as faras the roots
extend, and a foot beyond, 5 to 6 inches deep of rough manure or litter. This is par-
Heulaniy necessary in dry ground, and is highly advantageous everywhere, both in
spring and fall planting. It prevents the ground from baking or cracking, and main-
tains an equal temperature about the roots.

6th. AFTER CULTURE—The grass should not be allowed to grow around young

“trees after being planted, as it stunts their growth and utterly ruins them. The ground

should be kept clean and loose around them, until at least they are of bearing size.

TREATMENT OF TRERS THAT HAVE BEEN FROZEN IN THE PACKAGES, OR RE
CEIVED DURING FRosty WEATHER.—Place the packages, unopened, in a cellar or
some such place, cool, but free from frost, until perfectly thawed, when they can’be
unpacked, and either planted or placed in a trench, until convenient to plant. Treated
thus, they will not be injured by the freezing. Trees procured in the fall for spring
planting, should be laid in trenches in a slanting position to avoid the winds; the
situation should also be sheltered and the soildry. A mulching on the roots and a
few evergreen boughs over the tops, will afford good protection.

7
DISTANCE BETWEEN TREES IN PLANTATIONS.

STANDARD Appuss, 30 feet apart each way. In poor soils, 25 feet may be enough.

STANDARD PEARS AND CHERRIES, 20 feet apart each way. Cherries will do at 18
feet, and the Dwarf growing sorts, Dukes and Morellos, even at 16 feet.

STANDARD PLUMS, PEACHES, APRICOTS AND NECTARINES, 16 to 18 feet apart each
way. :
QUINCES, 10 to 12 feet apart each way.

PYRAMIDAL APPLES, PEARS, CHERRIES AND PiuMs, 10 to 12 feet apart each way.
The greater distance is better where land is not scarce.

DwarF APPLES, (bushes,) 6 feet apart. :

- CURRANTS, GOOSEBERRIES AND RAsPBERRIES, 3 to 4 feet apart.

STRAWBERRIES should be planted in rows 38 feet apart, and the plants 18 inches
apart, at least. In cultivating them for market, the rows ought to be 3 1-2 to 4 feet
apart, to admit of culture with the horse hoe or cultivator.

Our principal stock of Apples consists of the following varieties, which have been
well proved, and can be recommended as the best now in cultivation.

DWARF TREES, for Bushes, Pyramids, or Hspaliers, can be supplied of all popu-
lar and valuable sorts, on Doucin and Paradise stocks. On the latter the trees are
smaller, more prolific, bear sooner,and are therefore more desirable for small gardens.
They can be planted 4 or 5 feet apart, and will bear abundantly thesecond year after
planting. Where large pyramidal trees or low standards are wanted, the Doucin stock
is preferable.

DWARF APPLE TREE.

_ This is a portrait of a Rep AsTRACHAN Apple tree, on paradise stock, about eight years old, in full bear-
ing, intended to illustrate the form and appearance of such trees. ‘
or Gardens, the PARADISE stock makes the most appropriate Dwarf tree, bearing very early, very pro.
fusely, and giving fruits of the most beautiful appearance and fine quality. For Orchards of Pyramidai Ap-
le trees or Dwarf Standards, the Doucin is preferable, but trees on it donot Dear much sooner than on the
ree stock, unless judiciously pruned.
Those who desire a fine assortment of Dwarf Apples will always do well to leave the selection to us, as
we are then able to send those varieties which are most advantageously grown in this way.

valuable.

Those designated by a *, are of American origin. A special list of those which
we find particularly well suited to the quince stock, will be found at the end of the
general list.

GATHERING Prars.~-One of the most important points in the management of
Pears, is to gather them at the proper time.

Summer Pears should be gathered at least ten days before they are ripe, and autumn
Pears at least a fortnight. Winter varieties, if they will hang so Jong, may be left
until the leaves begin to fall.

CHERRIES.

o0-—_____-

The Cherry succeeds well in dry soils, and is susceptible of being trained in any
form that taste or circumstance may require.

For Orcuarps, where there is ample room for large trees, and in climates where
it is not subject to the bursting of the bark, standards with 4 or 5 feet of clean trunk
are preferable.

For Door YaRpDs, where shade and ornament are taken into account, siand-
ards of the free growing sorts; with erect habit and large foliage are the most suita-
ble.

For Fruir GARDENS, and particularly those of moderate extent, and in localities
where the bark of the trunk is liableto bursting, the pyramidal or conical trees, dwarf
or low standards, with two or three feet of trunk, and the dwarfs, branching within a
few inches of the ground, are the most appropriate and profitable.

Standards are budded on the Mazzard stock, and the others on the Mahaled, or St.
Lucie, the latter serves the same purpose for the cherry that the quince does for the
pear, and the paradise for the apple. It makes the trees smaller and more prolific, and
besides it may be root-pruned, like an apple or pear tree, in cases of superabundant
vigor of growth. It will also flourish on many soils not adapted to the Mazzard stock.
Our trees are grown upon dry and moderately rich soil, consequently the wood is
well ripened and will bear transplanting into any climate. It should be understood
that cherry trees forced into excessive growth, by damp soils or powerful manures,
cannot even stand the winter in the nursery with safety, while transplanting is almost
certain death to them. Purchasers will do well to consider this.

KNIGHT’S EARLY BLACK CHERRY.

The above drawing is from_a specimen tree in our grounds, about ten years old, on the Mahaleb stock
trained in pytamidal form. Wecan recommend this mode of training for all Garden Cherry Trees, as su-
perior in all respects to the old Standard form, requiring long ladders to reach theitop, either to prune or gath-
er the fruit. The trunk oi the tree isalways protected by the branches, and avoids the accidents and diseases,
which, in the Standard form, they never escape. No treesin our gronndshave beenmore admired during the

past seyen or eight years than our Pyramid Cherries. The Mahaleb stock readily adapts itself to almost
every variety of soil, which the Mazzard cannot do.

der and melting; juice colorless, sweet, with a scarcely perceptible degree of

Tartarian, but larger and firmer, and a few days later. Origin uncertain. We
think it identical with Monstrueuse de Mezel.

CLASS 1TI.—_DUKE AND MORELLO CHERRIES.

These two classes of Cherries are very distinct from the preceding. The trees are
of smaller size, and grow more slowly; the leaves are thicker and more erect, and of
a deeper green. The fruit is generally round, and in color varying from light red,
like Belle de Choisy, to dark brown, like May Duke or Morello.

The Dukes have stout, erect branches usually, and some of them, like Belle de
Choisy and Reine Hortense, quite sweet, while the Morellos have slender, spreading
branches and acid fruit invariably. These two classes are peculiarly appropriate for
Dwarfs and Pyramids, on the Mahaleb stock, and their hardiness renders them well
worthy of attention in lecalities where the Heart and Bigarreaus are too tender.

SHLECMPLUMS.

o

STANDARD PLUM TREES.

These are generally four to five feet in height, and like all the stone fruits, should
have heads near the ground, making what we term Dwarf or Low Standards.

DWARF AND PYRAMIDAL PLUM TREES.

These are adapted to Garden culture, being just as easily grown in the Bush or
Pyramid form as the Pear or Cherry. The trees furnished by us for this purpose are

from two to three feetin height.
DISEASES AND ENEMIES OF THE PLUM.

The prevalence of that disease of the Plum, commonly called the “ black knot,” -
and of the insect known as theeurculio, has of late discouraged people generally from
giving to the Plum its merited share of attention. It is not to be denied that these
are obstacles of considerable magnitude to indifferent, slovenly cultivators, but we are
satisfied from actual experience that nothing more than ordinary industry and perse-
yverance is required to overcome them entirely. Western New York is not exempt
from these difficulties any more than other localities; we hear complaints about
“knots” and “curculios” all around us. Yet we are able to fruit, in the most success-
ful manner, some 70 or 80 varieties of Plums annually; gettine not merely a few
scattering fruits, but full crops, weighing down the branches, as all will acknowledge
who have seen our trees during the past few years.

This success of ours is not due to any extraordinary skill, nor to any peculiarity of
soil or climate, but to reasonably good care and culture.

Nothing is more favorable to the growth of the black fungus, or knot, than neglect.

We have seen trees growing in grass in some uncultivated door yards transformed
into a mere mass of black knots, while trees in neighboring gardens, under good cul-
tivation, were entirely exempt. In our great specimen Plum Orchard we have never
lost a tree by this disease; it does occasionally make its appearance, but we instantly
remoye it. Our preventives and remedies are good, clean culture and prompt amputa-
ton.
As for the curculio we find no difficulty in protecting the crop from it by merely
employing a little extra labor. When the trees blossom, and as the fruit begins to
set, we dress the ground about the Plum trees, and make it very clean and smooth.
Then as soon as the curculio commences its operations, we spread a large sheet, pre-
pared for the purpose, around each tree, and jar it so as to shake down all fruits that
have been stung, as well as all the curculios. Both insects and stung fruits are de-
stroyed, and the ground is swept as clean asa floor. This work is performed daily
and ensuresa full crop. The work is done quickly ; a dozen trees in a garden can
be attended to daily in less than half an hour’s work of a man. Let those who really
desire to grow fine crops of delicious Plums, try this system, and follow it up rigidly,
and they will be successful.

POND’S SEEDLING PLUM.

This drawing represents a young tree of PonD’s SEEDLING, trained as a Pyramid, some seven years old,
and in full bearing. Thisisonly one from among a plantation of over two hundred trees, many of which are
quite as pertect as this one, and is merely intended to show this form of training, and call attention to its
advantages and beauty, especially for Garden use.

We find that trees thus trained are much more easily protected against the attacks of the curculio and
other insects, than the ordinary Standard. The Pond’s Seedling is one of the largest and most beautiful
of Plums, but only of medium quality. ;

SELECT PEACHES.

To secure healthy, vigorous and fruitful trees and fine fruit, the following points
must be well attended to in peach culture :—Ist. Keep the ground clean and mellow

around the trees, and give it an occasional dressing of wood ashes. 2d. Keep the,

__ heads low—the trunks ought not to exceed three feetin height. 3d. Attend regularly
every spring to pruning and shortening the shoots of the previous year’s growth.
This keeps the head round, full and well furnished with bearing wood. Cut weak
shoots back about one-half, and strong ones one-third; but see that you have a sufti-
cient supply of fruit buds. Sickly and superfluous shoots should be cut out clean.
It should always be borne in mind that the fruit is borne on wood of the last sea-
son’s growth, and hence the necessity for keeping up a good supply of vigorcus en-
- nual shoots all over the tree. The Plum stock is advantageous only in stiff clay, cold
and damp soils. » | -¢- ne

SHEE CLT, 2eERLCorT Ss:

The Apricot is one of the most beautiful and delicious fruits we possess ; and its
value is greatly enhanced by the season of its ripening—between cherries and peaches.

Ina selection of choice garden fruits, it is quite indispensable. It succeeds admira-
bly, trained in Espalier form, which will be found advantageous in small gardens, as
it may occupy a house, wall, fence or trellis, leaving the open ground for other trees.
In cold sections too, where the tree gets winter killed, or the blossoms injured by late
spring frosts, these Espalier trees can easily be protected by mat or board screens.
For stiff and damp soils, they should be on plum stocks; but on light, loamy, gravelly
and sandy soils, the peach is better. To protect against the Curculio, see directions
for the Plum. =

well, one of the most free, rapid growers and profuse bearers ; ripens earlier than
the Isabella. 50 cents each.

CATAWBA.—Well known as the great wine grape of Ohio, Kentucky, &c,; bunches
large and loose, berries large, of a coppery red color, becoming purplish when
well ripened ; two weeks later than the Isabella; requires the most favored soils
and situations, good culture and warm seasons to mature perfectly in Western
New York. 50 cents each.

CONCORD.—A very large, handsome, black grape, ripening a week or two earlier

than the Isabella; hardy and productive; promises to suceeed well over a great

extent of country. ‘%@ cents. 5~ |,“

CREVELING.—A fine black grape, nearly as large in bunch and berry as the Isabella,
ripening almost as early as the Hartford Prolific; very valuable. $1 each.

DELAWARE.—This fruit has fully maintained its high reputation as the finest of
our native grapes. The vine is comparatively slender, but grows freely. Small
vines the second year after planting have madetwo shoots each, (12 feet high,)
and well ripened to the top, with ordinary culture on our grounds. It proves
quite hardy in this climate, and ripens two or three weeks before the Isabella.
Bunch small and compact; berries small, light red, with a violet bloom, beauti-
ful. Sweet, sugary and vinous, with a musky aroma; equal to the finest foreign
varieties. It justly claims the best place in every garden. Gter$2each. 51)”

DIANA.—About the same size and color of the Catawba, of which it is supposed to
be a seedling; a beautiful and delicious grape, ripens about the same time as the
Isabella; vine remarkably vigorous; rather a shy bearer whileyoung. %@§ cents.

HARTFORD PROLIFIC.—A hardy, profuse bearing, and tolerably good black
grape, ripening very early, and valuable on this account. cents. .()

ISABELLA.—Bunches long, large, loose ; berries large, oval, black, juicy, sweet and
musky. A vigorous grower, hardy and immense bearer; one of the most popu-
lar of all our native varieties. 50 cents each.

REBECCA.—A fine and delicious white grape, berry and bunch medium size; vine
a free grower and abundant bearer, but slender; quite hardy, ripens almost as
soon as the Delaware. We regard it as the highest flavored of our native grapes,

recommended particularly for careful garden culture. >. | 5}

NEW AMERICAN HARDY GRAPES.

ADIRONDAC.—A black grape, originated near Plattsburgh, on Lake Champlain ;

~ IONA.—A handsome, red grape, said to be as early and as good as the Delaware,
and much larger, @. 44% GG s
ISRAELLA.—A black grape, said to be as early as the Hartford Prolific, and supe-
rior in quality. @. S"9° aa,
The last two grapes are seedlings of Dr. Grant, of Iona.

SELECT FOREIGN GRAPES.

All attempts at cultivating these varieties in the open air, in the Northern States,
have proved unsuccessful.

-Under very favorable circumstances, some of the more hardy varieties, such as the
Black Hamburgh or White Sweet Water, produce a few bunches for the first year or
two after they are planted, but they soon become worthless by the attacks of mildew,
and the other effects of an ungenial climate.

Their culture, under glass, without fire heat, is very simple and successful, and is
now attracting much attention, :

PRICE—Each 75 cents; $6 per dozen, for strong vines 1 year old.

(@3"Many suppose it necessary to have their vines forwarded zn the pots ; Eut this
is an error, except in the growing season. For transportation, the plants shculd ke
taken out of the pots, leaving a sufficient quantity of earth around the rocts, ard
packing them secureiy in cloth or moss. The vines will go safer in this way, and the
expense of carriage will be greatly reduced.

RASPBERRIES.

To keep a Raspberry bed in good, productive condition, the old, weak and dead
wood should be cut out every season, as soon as the crop is gathered, to give strength
to the young shoots for the next year’s bearing. In spring, the weakest suckers
should be removed, leaving five or six of the strongest in each. hill; the ground

‘should be spaded, and a top-dressing of manure given.

This is a new and interesting class of Raspberries, bearing not only a full crop at
the usual season, but another in autumn, on the canes of the current season’s growth.

canes, giving those intended for fruiting plenty of room and good culture. They will
well repay all this.

STRAWBERRIES.

CULTIVATION OF THE STRAWBERRY.

To cultivate the Strawberry for family use, we recommend planting in beds four
feet wide, with an alley two feet wide between. These beds will accommodate three
rows of plants, which may stand 15 inches apart each way, and the outside row 9
- inches from the alley. These beds can be kept clean, and the fruit can be gathered
from them without setting the feet upon them. We find by experience that no more
convenient mode can be adopted than this. The ground should be well prepared by
trenching or plowing, at least 18 to 20 inches deep, and be properly enriched as for
any garden crop.

The season for planting depends upon circumstances. It raay be done with safety
from the time the plants begin to grow in the Spring, until they arein blossom. And
again in the Fall from the time the young plants are sufficiently rooted, until the
freezing of the ground. Itis well, however, to plant at a time when the plants will
at once commence growing. If planted in warm, dry weather, as August or Septem-
ber, it is necessary to water the ground thoroughly before planting, and then to shade
the plants until they have began to root. The culture subsequent to planting consists
in keeping the ground among the plants clear of weeds, and frequently stirred with
a hoe or fork, to keep the runners closely pinched until after the fruit is gathered;
aad to mulch the ground among the plants before the fruit begins to ripen, with two
inches deep of cut straw or short grass mowings from the lawn, or anything of that.
sort, to keep the fruit clean and the ground from drying. In exposed situations, or
where the winters are severe, with little snow for protection, a slight covering of
leaves or litter will be of great service. This can be raked off and the beds dressed
at the opening of the growing season. A bed managed in this way will give two full
crops, and should then be spaded down, a new one having been in the meantime pre-
pared to take its place.

Those marked (p) are pistillate, others are perfect in their flowers.

HLLUWANGER & BARRY’S

Seedling Strawberry,

“NICANOR.”

Having fruited it for six years, we pronounce it a decided acquisition to the
list of Market Strawberries. Plant very hardy and vigorous, surpassing, in quan-
tity of fruit and hardiness of vine, any other variety we have ever tested. It
commences to ripen a few days before the Early Scarlet, and continues on up to
the very latest, thus making it profitable at both ends of the season. Fruit from
one to one and a quarter inch in diameter, very regular and uniform in size,
roundish conical, bright scarlet, and more firm and not so acid as Wilson.

Plants will be ready for delivery abeut-thetSthrofSeptember, at $5 per doz.

THE FRUIT GARDEN: °

A Treatise intended to illustrate and explain the Physiology of Fruit Trees ;
the Theory and Practice of all operations connected with the Propagation,
Transplanting, Pruning and Training of Orchard and Garden Trees as
Standards, Dwarfs, Pyramids, Espaliers, &c.; the laying out and arranging
different kinds of Orchards and Gardens; the selection of suitable varieties
for different purposes and localities; Gatherirg and Preserving Fruits ;
Treatment of Diseases and Destruction of Insects; Description and Use of
Implements, &c.; illustrated with upwards of 150 figures, representing dif-
ferent parts of trees, practical operations, forms of trees, designs for planta-
tions, implements, &c.; by P. BARRY, of the Mount Hope Nurseries,
Rochester, N. Y. 1 voi., 12mo.

“Tt is one of the most thorough works of the kind we have ever seen, dealing in
particulars as well as generalities, and imparting many valuable hints relative to soil,
manures, pruning and transplanting.”—Loston Gazetie.

“ A mass of useful information is collected, which gives the work a value even to

those who possess the best works on the cultivation of fruits, yet published.”—e-
ning Post.

“His work is one of the completest, and as we have every reason for believing,
most accurate, to be obtained on the subject.”—New York Evangelist.

“A concise manual of the kind here presented, has long been wanted, and we will
venture to say that, should this volume be carefully studied and acted on by our
industrious farmers, the quantity of fruit in the State would be double in five years
and the quality, too, greatly improved. Here may be found advice suited to all
emergencies, and the gentleman farmer may find direction for the simplest matter, as
well as those which trouble older heads. The book we think will be found valua-
ble.”—Newark Daily Adveriiser.

“It is full of directions as to the management of trees, and buds, and fruits, and is
a valuable and pleasant book.”’—Albany Evening Journal.

“'The work is prepared with judgment, and founded on the practical experience
of the author—is of far greater value to the cultivator than most of the popular
compilations on the subject.”— New Yerk Tribune.

“ This book supplies a place in fruit culture, and that is saying a great deal, while
we have the popular works of Downing, Thomas and Cole. Mr. Barry has, then, a
field to himself, which he occupies with decided skill and ability."—Prairie Farmer.

PRICE, $1.50. By Mail, pre-paid, $1.75.
