By R. L. Watts 



Professor of Horticulture, Pennsylvania State College 



This complete, concise and authentic 

 book covers every phase of vegetable gar- 

 dening. It is equally valuable as a text- 

 book and as a hand-book for practical 

 growers. The author's experience as a 

 teacher and practical market gardener 

 has admirably fitted him to present this 

 matter in a popular style. The book 

 brings up to date the reliable information 

 on vegetable gardening, and the full dis- 

 cussion of principles makes it valuable to 

 all classes of growers whether they are 

 producing for the home table or for market. 

 To procure first-hand knowledge regarding varieties and methods, many market 

 gardens and truck farms were visited in different parts of the United States. 

 An idea of the scope may be gained by noting the following subjects: Selec- 

 tion of Location, Soils, Tillage, and Tillage Tools, Stable Manures, Green 

 Manures and Clover Crops, Commercial Fertilizers, Irrigation, Insect Enemies 

 and Fungous Diseases, Seeds and Seed Growing, Construction of Hotbeds, 

 Construction of Cold Frames, Construction of Greenhouses, Seed Sowing,Trans- 

 planting, Growing Early Vegetable Plants Under Glass, Marketing, Cooperative 

 Associations, The Storage of Vegetables, and the Classification of Vegetables. 

 Profusely Illustrated, 5 1-2x8 inches. 550 pages, Cloth. Net, $1.75.
