 and the result of the experience of ten added years. Among the persons who collaborated in the 

 preparation of the other two books, and whose contributions have been freely used in this one, 

 are C. E. Hunn, a gardener of long experience; Professor Ernest Walker, reared as a commer- 

 cial florist; Professor L. R. Taft, and Professor F. A. Waugh, well known for their studies and 

 writings on horticultural subjects. 



A STANDARD WORK REVISED AND ENLARGED 



THE FARM AND GARDEN RULE BOOK 



By LIBERTY H. BAILEY Illustrated, cloth, i2mo, $2.00 net 



When Professor Bailey's " Horticulturist's Rule Book" was published nearly twenty-five years 

 ago, the volume became a standard agricultural work running through sixteen editions. Tak- 

 ing this book as a basis the author has now made a wholly new book, extending it to cover the 

 field of general farming, stock raising, dairying, poultry rearing, horticulture, gardening, for- 

 estry, and the like. It is essentially a small cyclopedia of ready rules and references packed full 

 from cover to cover of condensed meaty information and precepts on almost every leading sub- 

 ject connected with country life.
