Excerpt from The Fruits and Fruit-Trees of America, or the Culture, Propagation, and Management, in the Garden and Orchard, of Fruit Trees Generally: With Descriptions of All the Finest Varieties of Fruit, Native and Foreign, Cultivated in This CountryIn my revision I have endeavored to keep as near as possible the simple arrangement of the original, omitting the arrangement Of classes and periods Of ripening, and placing the whole alphabetically in order, trusting to the text description to give the information sought by the reader. The nomenclature Of the London Horticultural Society in the original edition has been retained, and, so far as known, I have con tinned the original name by which each fruit was first described, as its true name, appending all others as synonyms.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
