AN flPPRECIflTIVE READER. 



Would that a paper like Gardeninc. had 

 been published twenty five vears ago 

 When I think of the "fog" that I have 

 struggled through it makes me furious. I 

 began the fight twenty-five ^ears ago, 

 and of course began reading on the sub- 

 ject at the same time. I was just on the 

 point of giving the whole thing up, "pure 

 silver sand" "leaf mould," cow manu'e 

 "three years old," "good earth from three 

 to six feet deep," etc. were beyond my 

 strength and means when Peter Hender- 

 son's book came to me. That gave me 

 courage, so I kept on. Of course the best 

 results come from the most inte ligent 

 cultivation, but with that, one must have 

 a gold mine at one end of his place, and a 

 large manure heap at the other. The 

 amateur pure and simple has neither. 

 (;.\RDiiNiNO is simply invaluable to me, I 

 can work from it, and so can any ama- 

 teur. There is not a number but what 

 gives me practical help. H. H. 



I MUST say here how much I admire the 

 beautiful get up of your magazine, and 

 still more the intensely practical charac- 

 ter of its contents. W. F. Massev.

Your Journai. Gardening is a perfect 

 mine of information which I highly appre- 

 ciate. How I came to miss it for years I 

 cannot ^mderstand. B. W. V. W.

I ENjov gardeninc, exceedingly and 

 have recommended it to mj' friends who 

 love floweis. It is particularly gratify- 

 ing to me to be allowed to ask questions 

 about floriculture of reliable authority.

I WISH to thank you for the pleasure I 

 get in reading Gardening. I see most of 

 the garden and farm papers published in 

 the country, but when I want positive, 

 reliable information— instruction from a 

 master mechanic, about what to plant, 

 how to plant, when to plant, I turn to 

 Gardening. I have the first two volumes 

 of it bound together, and they make a 

 handsome book which I often consult.
