COMMENDATORY NOTICES. 



" Written with a good deal of practical knowledge of the subject or*' 

 which it treats. The directions given, the author says, are the result of 

 twenty years' experience, and we dare to say, that though submitted Ju- 

 an unpretending form, they will be found as useful, if not more so, than- 

 those in more costly and expensive works." Courier & Enquirer. 



" No work on the subject of Kitchen Gardening, ever published in this 

 country, has met with so very general approbation and extensive sale. 

 Mr. Bridgeman is well known as one of our best gardeners, and writ- 

 from his own experience.' Daily Advertiser. 



"The calendarial index is invaluable, aud of itself worth the price of 

 the book." Commercial. 



" That work which teaches us how to create -md to improve thig 

 most innocent and useful source of pleasure, is surely worthy of 

 applause and patronage; and such we consider 'The Young Gardener's 

 Assistant.' Advocate. 



" The work is calculated to be of immense service to those engaged 

 in Agriculture, ' far Irom the busy haunts of men,' and to the disciples 

 of Flora, in the city. Mr. Bridgeman is a practical gardener and seeds- 

 man, and has lived many years on both sides of the Atlantic. 5 ' Old 

 Countryman. 



" From what we gather from the tenor of Mr. Bridgeman's book, we 

 should suppose that he paid but little attention to the mere on dits or 

 dictums of any, but that he pursued that course which his judgment 

 pointed out ; and in this particular, we value his book leading the 

 young gardener to learn to depend more on his own judgment than on 

 the rules of custom. American Farmer. 



"All those who are desirous of a work on the subject of Gardening, 

 and one which will convey the best information on the management of 

 Hot-beds, Asparagus beds, best mode of raising all sorts of Esculent 

 Vegetables, Pruning, Grafting and Buddin r Fruit Trees- Training th* 

 Vine, Preserving the Fruit from Mildew, &c. should procure this. No 

 Work on the subject ever published in this country has met with half aa 

 extensive a sale, or decided public approbation, as this valuable compen- 

 dium. Mr. Bridgeman fully understands the subject on which he 

 treats. The very rapid sale of the five former editions is quite a suffi- 

 cient recommendation." G. C. Therburn, 



" We can assure gardeners and farmers, that they will in times rvad 

 ways almost without number, be amply compensated by purchasing the 

 book. Mr. B. bestows great labour on his productions of the pen, not 

 only as to practical matter of fact, but to the various excellences of 

 style, particularly to clearness, and the avoiding a redundancy of words. 

 The amount of useful information in the book constitutes its value ; 

 and all this information is adapted to this country, and its climate and 

 soil." American Gardener's Magazine. 



"BRIDGEMAN'S GARDENER'S ASSISTANT. The sixth edition of this 

 useful little manual is published, and is rendered of increased value by 

 the addition of several matters not contained in either of the former 

 editions. Among these is a short and convenient calendar to assist the 

 gardener's memory." Evening vPost. 



" From the cursory examination we have been enabled to give ' The 

 Young Gardeners's Assistant,' we should judge that it embraces a 

 greater amount of practical information, applicable to eur climate, 

 than can be found in any similar work. The list of fruit trees has been 

 selected from the best authorities, both foreign and American, and is 

 sufficiently extensive for any cultivator in this country." Newark, 

 Daily Advertiser.
