CARDENING FOR PLEASURE. 
This will be found to fill a place which neither of the author’s previous works—‘“‘Garden- | 
ing for Profit”’ or “‘ Practical Floriculture ’’—have properly filled, these being mainly forCom- || 
mercial Gardeners. The present work has been written in compliance with the request of | 
hundreds of our amateur patrons, and it is hoped that-the subject has been made so piain, that 
the most inexperienced cultivator can make his gardening operations—whether of fruits, 
flowers or vegetables—a success, whether his area of soil be confined to a rod or an acre, or to 
a few plants in a parlor, or to a fully appointed conservatory. It is fully illustrated.
