DRAINING ENGINEERING.

The undersigned is prepared to assume the personal direction of works of
Agricultural and Town Drainage, and Water Supply, in any part of the
country; or to send advice and information, by letter, for the guidance of
others.

Persons sending maps of their land, with contour lines, (see Fig. 8, page
54,) accompanied by such information as can be given in writing, will be
furnished with explicit instructions concerning the arrangement and depth
of the drains required; kinds and sizes of tiles to be used; management of
the work, etc., etc.

The lines of drains will be laid down, on the maps, for the direction of
local engineers,--and, when required, the grades will be calculated and
noted at the positions of the stakes.

THE SMALL FRUIT CULTURIST.

BY

ANDREW S. FULLER.

_Beautifully Illustrated._

We have heretofore had no work especially devoted to small fruits, and
certainly no treatises anywhere that give the information contained in
this. It is to the advantage of special works that the author can say all
that he has to say on any subject, and not be restricted as to space, as
he must be in those works that cover the culture of all fruits--great and
small.

This book covers the whole ground of Propagating Small Fruits, their
Culture, Varieties, Packing for Market, etc. While very full on the other
fruits, the Currants and Raspberries have been more carefully elaborated
than ever before, and in this important part of his book, the author has
had the invaluable counsel of Charles Downing. The chapter on gathering
and packing the fruit is a valuable one, and in it are figured all the
baskets and boxes now in common use. The book is very finely and
thoroughly illustrated, and makes an admirable companion to the Grape
Culturist, by the same author.
