 market-gardener who lives in Arlington, a subu-b of Boston 

 Mass. Friend Rawson has been one of the foremost to make 

 irrigation a practical success, and he now irrigates his gronnr's 

 by means of a windmill and steam-engine whenever a drought

 nicely illustrated with llOengiavings

 clear tin to tht- present date. 



The single chapter on digging ditches, with the illustrations 

 given by Prof Chamberlain, should alone make the book 

 worth what it costs, to every one who has occasion to lay ten 

 rods or more of tile. There is as much science in digging as 

 3|Tomato Culture 35 



In three parts. Part first— by J. W. Day. of Crystal Springs,

 marks by A. I. Root, adapting it to the North. Part second- 

 By D Cummins, of Conneaut, O.. treats of tomato culture 

 especially for canning-factories. Part third— By A. 1. Root, 

 treats of plant-growing for market, and high-pressure garden- 

 ing in general. This little book is interestingbecause it is one 

 of the first rural books to come from our friends in the South 



3 I Vegetables under Glass, by H. A. Dreer**.. 20 

 This is a new book by a veteran in the work, full of illustra- 

 tions from real life, and by all odds, the most valuable book 

 we have ever hafl for such a small price. 



3 I Winter Care of Horses and Cattle 35 



This Is friend TeiTv's second book in regard to farm matters; 

 but it is so intimately connected with hit potato-book that it 

 reads almost like a sequel to it. If you have onlv a horse or a 

 cow, I think it will pay you to invest in *he book. It has U 

 pages and 4 cuts.
