Excerpt from The Fruit Manual: Containing the Descriptions and Synonyms of the Fruits and Fruit Trees Commonly Met With in the Gardens and Orchards of Great Britain
About that time numerous new varieties of fruits were introduced to British gardens, and it was there fore necessary that their merits should be fairly tested before a new edition could be published of a work pro fessing to furnish information respecting the fruits and fruit trees commonly cultivated in this country.
During the interval that has elapsed I have examined the greater number of the new, and many of the olden varieties not formerly included, and I am now enabled to present a work more complete and useful than I could have done had I entered upon it at an earlier period.
