 ^■^ in the window and under glass; fine lawns, 

 trees, shrubs, and the beautiful of Gardening-; on 

 the other, taking up the matter of better fruit and 

 vegetables for our tables every day, and the largest 

 profit for market-growers in all bianclies of Hor- 

 ticulture. We are speaking of our journal, 



POPULAR GARDENING, AND THE FRUIT RECORDER. 



Tt is a most useful and readable paper. Its style 

 is plain, sensible, and practical; no

 Finer engravings and printing than 

 its columns show can nowhere l)e

 should see, so we will send a sample 

 copy to any address for ti cents.
