The Lost Fruit Books

Col. Wilder pear, p. 145

A certain nurseryman has told me often about some lost books about fruits with color illustrations of fruits. They were owned by his grandfather who died shortly before he was born. I finally looked them up to see if I could show him the books online. Here they are:

• The pears of New York By U. P. Hedrick, assisted by G. H. Howe, O. M. Taylor, E. H. Francis, H. B. Tukey.
• The plums of New York by U.P. Hedrick ; assisted by R. Wellington ... [et al.].
• The peaches of New York by U. P. Hedrick, assisted by G. H. Howe, O. M. Taylor, C. B. Turbergen.
•  The cherries of New York by U. P. Hedrick, assisted by G. H. Howe, O. M. Taylor, C. B. Tubergen, R. Wellington.
•  The grapes of New York by U.P. Hedrick, assisted by N.O. Booth ... [and others]
• The small fruits of New York (not online?)
• Where's the apple book????
