The Book of Vegetables and Garden Herbs 



By ALLEN FRENCH Clolh, Illustrated, i2mo, $i.ys net 



A practical book " from the ground up." It gives complete directions for 

 growing all vegetables cultivatable in the climate of the northern United States. 

 It represents a departure in vegetable-garden literature. It does not general- 

 ize. Leaving the description of garden processes to the general handbooks, 

 it considers the vegetables not in classes but individually, according to their 

 importance. The illustrations, numbering about 150, are all from original 

 drawings, and are designed to exhibit at their best the various plants, roots, 

 fruits, and planting methods described. They are exceedingly helpful as well 

 as entertaining.
