This new work is a combination and revision of the main parts of two other

together with much new material and the result of the experience of ten added 
years. Among the persons who collaborated in the preparation of the other two 
books, and whose contributions have been freely used in this one, are C. E. Hunn, 
a gardener of long experience; Professor Ernest Walker, reared as a commercial 
florist; Professor L. R. Taft, and Professor F. A. Waugh, well known for their 
studies and writings on horticultural subjects. 
A STANDARD WORK REVISED AND ENLARGED 
The Farm and Garden Rule Book 
By LIBERTY H. BAILEY 
Illustrated, cloth, 12mo0, $2.00 net 
When Professor Bailey's ‘‘Horticulturist’s Rule Book"’ was published nearly 
twenty-five years ago, the volume became a standard agricultural work running 
through sixteen editions. Taking this book as a basis the author has now made a 
wholly new book, extending it to cover the field of general farming, stock-raising, 
dairying, poultry-rearing, horticulture, gardening, forestry, and the like. It is 
essentially a small cyclopedia of ready rules and references packed full from cover 
to cover of condensed, meaty information and precepts on almost every leading 
subject connected with country life.
