The work will be found of inestimable assistance to those who are interested in vegetable 

 growing in California, not only on a large scale, but to the large number who cultivate these 

 products for their own consumption. San Francisco Call. 



We take no risk in advising every Californian who has a garden spot to procure a copy.

 a lot of ground. The author is eminently qualified for the work which he has just completed.

 mento Record-Union. 



Covers every part of the State in technical analysis and physical demonstration. Peta-
