Volume one deals with apples, volume two with pears and plums: each variety is fully described with history, synonyms, bibliographical references and tree and fruit characteristics. Each of the articles on the apples and pears is accompanied by a line- drawn illustration of a cross-section of the variety, and about half are also illustrated in colour. The section on plums is again selectively illustrated in colour, and has some line drawn cross-sections, but also includes many half-tone illustrations of the blossom and the fruit of the tree.
