WORK BY THE SAME AUTHOR.

COMPANION FOR THE KITCHEN GARDEN; 



BEING A 



HISTORY OF CULTIVATED VEGETABLES. 

 BY HENRY PHILLIPS, F.H. S. 



IN this work, the object of the Author has been to render the know- 

 ledge of Plants entertaining and useful, not only to Botanists, but to 

 those who have hitherto deemed it a difficult and uninteresting science. 

 He has endeavoured to ascertain of what Countries the Vegetables now 

 cultivated are natives, the earliest account of their cultivation, and how 

 far they have improved by attention, or degenerated by neglect; also 

 the various uses made of them by the Ancients, as well as the Moderns, 

 of different Countries.
