Garden Vegetables, and How to Cultivate Them. 



BY FEARING BURR, 



AUTHOR OF " FIELD AND GARDEN VEGETABLES OF AMERICA." 



^^ Garden Vegetables, and How to Cultivate T/icm, by Fearing Burr, jun., 

 has just been issued by the enterprising firm of J. E. Tilton & Co., Boston, 

 corresponding' in elegance of style with the ' Culture of the Grape,' by 

 W. C. Strong, lately noticed, as published by the same house. Mr. Burr, 

 in a model preface, most of which we quote, tersely says, ' The object of 

 this volume is to give full descriptions of vegetables common to the gar- 

 dens of this country, with the most approved methods of cultivation, pres- 

 ervation, and use ' Every farmer and suburbanist who would have a 

 good vegetable garden cannot fail, with Burr's practically illustrated 

 manual in hand, with the exercise of an ordinary degree of attention, 

 skill, and industry. It may be truly styled the American gardener's vade 

 mecum, filled with useful and sententious specifications by a practical gar- 

 dener, and therefore just what the man with spade, hoe, and seeds in hand, 

 needs at this time. We will only add, that so felicitously has the author 

 done his work, and so elegantly have the publishers done theirs, one 

 hardly knows which more to admire, the skill of the former, or the taste 

 of the latter. Get it and read it, and you will say, ' The half was not told 

 me.'" — Boston Cultivator. 



" This is a fine, illustrated volume, just published by J. E. Tilton & Co., in 

 the same unexceptional style which has made Parkman's ' Book of Roses,' 

 and Rand's ' 3Ianual for the Rearing of Flowers,' so popular. This firm 

 arc really furnishing a library which no one given to gardening as a voca- 

 tion or recreation can afford to be without. Their various publications 

 have been prepared by those practically acquainted with the useful and 

 attractive subjects of which they discourse." — Transcript.
