A Catechism of Gardening, intended for the Use of Village Schools 

 and Cottages; containing plain and brief Directions for cul- 

 tivating every kind of Vegetable in Common Use. By An 

 Old Practitioner. Pamphlet, 12mo., 50 pages. London :

 encourage cottagers in a taste for gardening, would be rendering essential ser-

 The plan of the work is by Query and Answer ; the following chapters treat-

 with a calendar for work to be performed in each month of the year. 



Chap. 1. — Of the operations of gardening, as trenching, earthing up, plant-

 3. — Cultivation of stems, as asparagus, onion, sea kale, &c. 4. — Cultivation

 esculent flowers, as cauliflower, brocoli, &c. 6. — Cultivation of esculent pods, 

 seeds, &c, as peas, kidney beans, &c.
