GARDENING FOR PROFIT: 
A GUIDE TO THE SUCCESSFUL CULTIVATION OF THE 
MARKET AND FAMILY GARDEN. 
By PETEr HENDERSON. 
FINELY ILLUSTRATED. 
This work has had a constant and remarkable sale ever since it was issued, and 
the later enlarged and revised edition is as well received as was the first. It was 
the first work on Market Gardening ever published in this country. Its author is 
well known as a market gardener of many years’ successful experience. In this 
work he has recorded this experience, and given without reservation, the methods 
necessary to the profitable culture of the 
MARKET GARDEN. 
It is a work for which there was an urgent demand before its issuc, and one 
which commends itself, not only to those who grow vegetables for sale, but to the 
cultivator of the 
e FAMILY GARDEN, 
to whom it presents methods quite different from the old ones generally practiced. 
It is an ORIGINAL AND PURELY AMERICAN work, and not made up as books on gar- 
dening too often are, by quotations from foreign authors. 
Every thing is made perfectly plain, and the subject treated in atl its details, 
from the selection of the soil to preparing the products for market.
