Orange Judd & Co., 245 Broadway. 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.
