The many valuable produc- tions- the donations from Mr. Knight, and from other sources -by you so extensively disseminated your disinterested and distinguished zeal to encour- age and enlighten in all useful pursuits, and especially those to which this work is principally devoted, are not only highly appreciated by contemporaries, but posterity will know and acknowledge their value. Please to accept this dedication, not only as an acknowledgment of the many favors received, but as an expression of my high estimation of your manifold and successful efforts in all that concerns the best interests of our country. With the highest respect and eiteem, Your obedient servant, KENRICE. ADVERTISEMENT TO THE THIRD EDITION. 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 a visit of the author to those countries, in the autumn of 1840, much information was collected by him from first- rate sources, from oral and other communications, which will be found in the following pages. . .
