 has he been driven by the wild statements of others to the opposite 

 extreme. His knowledge of the whole field is both extensive and 

 accurate; the information that he gives will be of service, not only 

 to the amateur who keeps poultry for his own pleasure, but to the 

 man who wishes to derive from it a considerable portion of his income.

The Book of Vegetables and Garden Herbs

A practical book "from the ground up." It gives complete direc- 

 tions for growing all vegetables cultivatable in the climate of the 

 northern United States. It represents a departure in vegetable- 

 garden literature. It does not generalize. Leaving the description 

 of garden processes to the general handbooks, it considers the vege- 

 tables not in classes but individual!}', according to their importance. 

 The illustrations, numbering about 150, are all from original draw- 

 ings, and are designed to exhibit at their best the various plants, 

 roots, fruits, and planting methods described. They are exceedingly 

 helpful as well as entertaining.
