Though entitled " Gardening for the South," the work is ono 

 the utility of which is not restricted to the South. It is an admir- 

 able treatise on gardening in general, and will rank among the 

 most useful horticultural works of the present day. Horticultural 

 operations are clearly explained, and more in detail than is usual 

 in works of this kind. To those living in the warmer portions of 

 the Union, the work will be especially valuable, as it gives the 

 varieties of vegetables and fruits adapted to the climate and the 

 modes of culture which it is necessary to follow.
