Book excerpt: Excerpt from Descriptive Catalogue of Fruit and Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, Vines and Plants, Cultivated and for Sale T IS once more our pleasure to present to our friends and patrons a new edition of our descriptive catalogue OF fruit and ornamental trees, etc, and in doing so we tender to them our sincere thanks for the many expressions of encouragement and substantial aid they have given us. We will endeavor in the future, as we have in the past, by strict personal attention to business, to merit their patronage and good will. The lamented Downing said, in the introduction to his work on fruit and fruit-trees, that A man born on the banks of one of the noblest and most fruitful rivers in America, and whose best days have been spent in gardens and orchards, may perhaps be pardoned for talking about fruit-trees. We must claim indulgence, for similar reasons. Forty of the best years of our life have been devoted to the nursery and fruit - growing business and if we seem to urge these subjects beyond the rules of propriety, our apology is, that we think we are working in a good cause and for the good of our fellow-men. He says further In deed, the subject deserves not a few, but many words. Fine fruit is the flower of commodi ties. It is the most perfect union of the useful and the beautiful that the earth knows. Trees full of soft foliage blossoms fresh with spring beauty and finally fruit, rich, bloom-dusted, melting and luscious. Such are the treasures of the orchard and the garden temptingly offered to every landholder in this bright and sunny though temperate climate. We are pleased to note an increasing interest throughout the Whole country in the cultivation of the useful and beautiful. Both fruits and flowers are more highly appreciated by the masses than formerly, and we regard it as a most happy indication, not only in the effect it will have upon the health of the body, but also in the softening influence it will have on the harsher feelings of our nature.
