 knowledge in the most practical field, that of a market gardener. He is now 

 recognized as a leading authority on the subject, and his services as a teacher 

 and writer are in great demand. A. G. PETERKIN is the amateur gardener

 the fruit shows, and his knowledge of the subject has pre-eminently fitted him
