NEW PUBLICATIONS.
The AMERICAN Fruit CULTURIsT. By John j
Thomas. New York: William Wood
Co, 81 Walker Street.
This volume contains practical directions
for the propagation and culture of fruit
trees in the nursery, orchard and garden,
with descriptions of the principal American
and foreign varieties of fruit cultivated in
this country. 1t is illustrated with $50
accurate figures of implements, methods Of
grating varieties of fruit, &c.
The first edition of this work printed
more than twenty years ago. 1t was sub
sequently enlarged, andrevised editions were
issued. The rapid progress of late years in
the culture of fruit has rendered still another
revision necessary, and the result is the
present book, mostly rewritten, and CON
tanning much which did not appear in the
previous editions. The volume contains over
500 pages, and is evidently most valuable
treatise upon the varieties and production OF
fruit. Fruit can only be grown in this sec
ton of Vermont by the most careful and
scientific cultivation, and such work az
this is of great value to those wishing to
be thoroughly acquainted with the subject.
