PREFACE TO THIRTEENTH EDITION 



It has seemed desirable to have this book revised, 

 because some of the plates in the last edition of Vegetable 

 Gardening were dim, and because new machinery, methods 

 of culture, and new varieties of plants are all the time 

 being developed and new remedies are being constantly 

 used for plant diseases. By including these the book is 

 brought entirely up-to-date. 



I wish to thank Professor Le Roy Cady, Horticulturist 

 at the Experiment Station, who was trained by my hus- 

 band and knows his methods, for his services in revising 

 this book in such an acceptable manner.
