The Fruit Manual: Containing The Descriptions And Synonyms Of The Fruits And Fruit Trees Of Great Britain | by Robert Hogg



It is twenty-four years since this work was first published, and during the first fifteen of that period it passed through three large editions. The fourth appeared nine years ago, and that has long since been out of print. I have now finished the Fifth Edition, in which will be found a great deal of new matter, enlarging the work to upwards of 150 pages more than there were in the last.

1884.

To the Memory of the late MR. Thomas Rivers, Of Sawbridgeworth, I Dedicate This Fifth Edition Of The Fruit Manual;

Not that he requires a memorial other than that which he himself has raised; but for forty years we were knit together by the closest friendship, working together and stimulating one another in the study of pomology: and now that he has passed away thus cherish in my memory a sincere friend and a good man.

He Died October 17th 1877, Aged 80 Years.

"Fruit of all kinds, in coat,

Rough or smooth rind, or bearded husk or shell." - Milton.
