 sowing a hot-bed. The Monthly Calendar is of itself an invaluable part of 

 the book! In short those who are dissatisfied, after a perusal, will have 

 their money returned.

THE 



" This is one of the bestjworks oti the subject ever published in an 

 country: it contains Pract'cal Directions for the Cultivation of Annual? 

 Biennial, and Perennial Flowering Plants, of different classes, Herba- 

 ceous and Shrubby, Bulbous, Fibrous, and Tuberous-rooted, including 

 the Double Dahlia, Greenhouse Plants in Rooms, &c. &c. 



A Work of the above kind has been long wanted ; hitherto, it re- 

 quired an expenditure of some three or four dollars to get any sort of 

 readable directions for small gardens, window gardening, plants in 

 rooms, &c. which when procured, were so full of botanical foppery, 

 that plain, honest people, after wading through some throe or four hun- 

 dred pages, were as wise as to knowing how to set about their garden- 

 ing, as when they commenced their book. The present little work 

 obviates all these difficulties. The Author is well known as one of our 

 practical gardeners, and it may be truly said he has rendered the 

 Ladies in particular (for whom the work was projected) an essential 

 service ; the directions for the care of the Camellia Japonica, the 

 Double Dahlia, the sowing and treatment of Annual Flower Seeds, are 

 alone worth double the price of the book ; so is the Calendarial Index* 

 which, by the untiring industry of Mr. Bridgeman, is made to include 

 in some half dozen pages, more valuable information than in some 

 ponderous octavos on the same subject."
