'HE GARDEN'S STORY; or, Pleasures and 

 Trials of an Amateur Gardener By George H. Ellw anger. 

 With Head and Tail Pieces by Rhead. i2mo. Cloth, extra, 

 $1.50. 



" Mr. EUwanger's instinct rarely errs in matters of taste. He writes out of the 

 fullness of experimental knowledge, but his knowledge differs from that of many a 

 trained cultivator in that his skill in garden practice is guided by a refined aesthetic 

 sensibility, and his appreciation of what is beautiful in nature is healthy, heart}', and 

 catholic His record of the garden year, as we have said, begins with the earliest 

 violet, and it follows the season through until the witch-hazel is blossoming on the 

 border of the wintry woods. . . . This little book can not fail to give pleasure to all 

 who take a genuine interest in rural life." — The Tribune, New York.
