Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New American Orchardist: Or, an Account of the Most Valuable Varieties of Fruit, of All Climates, Adapted to Cultivation in the United States; With Their History, Modes of Culture, Management, Uses, &C.; With an Appendix, on Vegetables, Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, and Flowers, The The present edition of this work has been revised with very particular attention and care; all the latest and most eminent writers of Europe, which have come to hand, having been diligently consulted, and the experience of the most intelligent of our own country. In this edition, many important improvements will be found, and many additions, particularly in regard to fruits. The list of these, although so complete in the former editions, is yet, in this, greatly improved; and especially in those fine new kinds which have been so lately proved by Mr. Thompson and others, at the Garden of the London Horticultural Society at Chiswick, and elsewhere in England, and in France; or more latterly approved with us. During visits of the author to those countries in the autumn of 1840, and years 1841 - 2, much information was collected by him from first-rate sources, from oral and other communications, which will be found in the following pages. In this, the seventh edition, other information, equally new, and not less important, will be found, to the period of this still later date. N. B. Throughout this work, a star is prefixed to those fruits only of whose excellence we are fully satisfied, either by proof, or by the most ample and satisfactory testimony.
