part of the year.* You can have salads and young vegetables from 

 April until November. Then there are the flowers and fruits over and 

 above, and other assets of and from the garden that are too apparent 

 to need to be mentioned. • 



The plan of this book is sufficiently set forth in the table of con- 

 tents, and we therefore offer this Guide confident in the belief that it 

 wiU be found an excellent introduction to what is unequivocally one 

 of the most delightful recreations that man can pursue. 



In the preparation of this Guide acknowledgement must be 

 given, in addition to those whose names appear on the title page, to 

 John McArthur, Elizabeth, N. J., for suggestions on the heating of 

 small greenhouses ; to Samuel Redstone, formerly of Philadelphia, for 

 hints on the kinds of greenhouses most suitable for amateurs; and to 

 Prof. W. F. Massey, Salisbmy, Md., for the calendar o£ garden 

 operations for the South. For help in the preparation of the manu- 

 script for the printer, and in the reading of the proofs, warmest 

 thanks are tendered to A. G. Peterkin, Bloomfield, N. J.
