GARDENING FOR PROFIT 



In the Market and Family Oardeix 

 BY PETER HENDERSON. 



This is the first work on Market Gardening ever published in thss 

 oountry. Its author is well known as a market gardener of twenty 

 years' successful experience. In this work he has recorded this 

 experience, and given, without reservation, the methods necessary 

 to the profitable culture of the commercial or 



It is a work for which there has long been a demand, and one 

 which will commend itself, not only to those who grow vegetables 

 for sale, but to the cultivator of the 



FAMILY GAEDEN, 



to whom it presents methods quite different from the old ones gen- 

 erally practiced. It is an ORIGINAL AND PURELY AMERICAN work, and 

 not made up, as books on gardening too often are, by quotations 

 from foreign authors. 



Every thing is made perfectly plain, and the subject treated in all 

 its details, from the selection of the soil to preparing the products 

 for market.
