MISCELLANEOUS HAND BOOKS.- 



12 | Gardening- for Profit, new edition** 1 85 



This is a late revision of Peter Henderson's celebrated work. 

 Nothing that has ever before been put in print has done so 

 much toward making market gardening a science and a fasci- 

 nating industry. Peter Henderson stands at the head, without 

 question, although we have many other books on these rural 

 employments. If you can get but one book, let it be the 

 above. It has 376 pages and 138 cuts. 



I Gardening for Young- and Old, Harris** .... 1 25 



This is Joseph Harris' best and happiest effort. Although it 



goes over the same ground occupied by Peter Henderson, it 



particularly emphasizes thorough cultivation of the soil in 



preparing your ground; and this matter of adapting it to 

 young people. as well as old is brought out in a most happy 

 vein. If your children have any sort of fancy for gardeningit 



will pay you to make them a present of this book. It has 187 

 pages and 46 engravings. 



10 | Garden and Farm Topics, Henderson** 75

5 I Gregory on Cabbages ; paper* 25 



5 Gregory on Squashes; paper* 25 



5 I Gregory on Onions; paper* 25 



The above three books, by our friend Gregory, are all val- 

 uable. The book on squashes especially is good reading for 

 almost anybody, whether they raise squashes or not. It strikes 

 at the very foundation of success in almost any kind of 



15 i How to Make the Garden Pay.** 1 35

 most explicit and full directions for gardening under glass of 

 any book in the world Those who are interested in hot-beds, 

 cold-frames, cold-greenhouses, hot-houses or glass structures

2 | How to Propagate and Grow Fruit, Green* 15 



2 I Injurious Insects, Cook 25 



10 j Irrigation for the Farm, Garden, and Or- 

 chard, Stewart* 1 40 



This book, so far as I am informed, is almost the only work 

 on this matter that is attracting so much interest, especially 

 recently. Using water from springs, brooks, or windmills, to 

 take the place of rain, during our great droughts, is the great 

 problem before us at the present day. The book has 274 pages 

 and 142 cuts. 



3 | Maple Sugar and the Sugar-bush** 35 



By Prof. A. J. Cook. This was written in the spring of 1887 at 



my request. As the author has, perhaps, one of the finest 

 sugar-camps in the United States, as well as being an enthusi- 

 astic lover of all farm industries, he is better fitted, perhaps, to 

 handle the subject than any other man. The book is written 

 in Prof. Cook's happy style, combining wholesome moral les- 

 sons with the latest and best method of managing to get the 

 finest syrup and maple sugar, with the least possible expendi- 

 ture of cash and labor. Everybody who makes sugar or mo- 

 lasses wants the sugar-book. It has 42 pages and 35 cuts.
