 tural literature from theinterests of the practical orchardist

New York State produces some sixteen million dollars' 

 worth of vegetables annually, aftd State Director of 

 Farmers' Institutes Van Alstyne says of this work, "I 

 consider it intensely practical and of great value to both 

 the individual who may be interested in vegetable growing 

 and also as a text-book for students in our agricultural 

 schools."- -" I know of no work which in my judgment 

 is better suited to the use of students as a text-book or 

 for the practical vegetable grower." Prof. J. C. Whitten, 

 University of Missouri. 



The cultural requirements of nearly every crop are 

 analysed in the light of many years' experience, and in a 

 clear and logical manner every step is thoroughly 

 explained with the help of magnificent illustrations. It 

 places vegetable gardening on a safe and sure basis.
