old and standard varieties are net neglected,
the new and promising sorts, especially those
of the South al West, Rave prominence. A
list of selections for different localities by
eminent orchardists is valuable portion Of
the volume, while the Analytical Index or
Catalogue RGis0Rpe, as the French would say,
is the most extended American fruit list ever
published and gives evidence of fearful
amount Of Labor.
This differs from any fruit book heretofore
published in this country, in it's complete
classification Of apples. The author gives
the principal European systems and modest

tice. He divides apples into four classes,
according 10 their forms. Each of these
classes is sub divided by other obvious char

Fruit-growers will welcome this book as

experienced Orcherdist. The work has 293

The views Of Pope on the Great Creator
and His wOndrous works, ss enunciated in
this poem, are unsurpassed for grandeur and
deep-toned thought; and no writer, either
ancient or modern times, has 80 infused his
sentiments aud spirit into the literature OF
