EDITORIAL, NOTICES. 



ONE of the most popular works of recent years on similar topics was 

 the "Gardening for Profit" of Mr. PETER HENDERSON, the well-known 

 florist of Jersey City. He has been equally fortunate in the title of a new 



book from his pen, just published by the ORANGE JUDD Co., of New- York 

 "Gardening for Pleasure." The author has a happy faculty of writing 

 for the most part just what people want to know so that, although his 

 books are neither exhaustive nor especially elaborate, they proceed to the 

 gist of the subject in hand with so much directness and simplicity that they 

 till a most important and useful sphere in our rural literature. The Culti- 

 vator and Country Gentleman, Albany, N, Y. 



IT gives, in a clear, intelligible form, just the information that novices 

 and even experienced cultivators wish to have always accessible, and will 

 be specially valuable to those who keep house plants. The Observer. New- 

 York City. 



MR. PETER HENDERSON has followed up "Gardening for Profit" with 

 "Gardening for Pleasure," into which is packed much useful information 

 about window-gardens, the management of flower-beds, etc. The Inde- 

 pendent, New- York City. 



HE is a thoroughly practical man, uses plain, common language, and 

 not technical terms, in his statements and explanations, and puts the staff 

 of knowledge directly into the hands of the amateur and sets him at work. 

 The Preset, Providence, Ji. I. 



PEOPLE who have money to spend in adorning their grounds, are told 

 here how to do it to the best advantage, and ladies are fully instructed in 

 all the art and mystery of window-gardening. It will prove a useful guide 

 to all who have a taste for flowers, and also contains practical instructions 

 for the cultivation of fruits and vegetables. The Transcript, Portland, Mv. 



THIS volume is eminently clear in its style and practical in its direc- 

 tions. Its appearance is timely, as it contains some valuable hints upon 

 winter flowering plants and their proper cultivation, together with plain 

 directions how to raise them from seed and to multiply them by cuttings.
