AMERICAN POMOLOGY
APPLES.
By Doct. JOHN A. WARDER,
PRESIDENT OHIO POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY; VICE-PRESIDENT AMERICAN POMOLOGICAL
SOCIETY.
293 ILLUSTRATIONS.
This volume has about 750 pages, the first 375 of which are devoted to the
discussion of the general subjects of propagation, nursery culture,
selection and planting, cultivation of orchards, care of fruit, insects,
and the like; the remainder is occupied with descriptions of apples. With
the richness of material at hand, the trouble was to decide what to leave
out. It will be found that while the old and standard varieties are not
neglected, the new and promising sorts, especially those of the South and
West, have prominence. A list of selections for different localities by
eminent orchardists is a valuable portion of the volume, while the
Analytical Index or _Catalogue Raisonne_, as the French would say, is the
most extended American fruit list ever published, and gives evidence of a
fearful amount of labor.
