TE you wish to grow Vegetables for Sale, read GARDENING FOR PROFIT. Thepersonal success of its 
author during his long career as a market gardener, and the success of thousands from the time he 
first made his cultural methods known up to the present day, shows the popular estimation of the 
value set upon this great work. All over the land it opened up the market gardening interest, for it 
should be always remembered that this was the first work ever written on market gardening in this 
country. To the South alone its value is almost beyond computation, for the enormous trucking inter- 
ests already there, and which are constantly on the increase, owe their birth entirely to, and subsequent 
development mainly to the teachings of GARDENING FOR ProFiIT. While written particularly for the 
Market Gardener and Trucker, yet it is of equal value for large private gardens. 
The first edition of GARDENING FOR PROFIT was pub- 
lished in 1866; it has been revised twice since, and its sale has been so large that up to this time 48 editions have been printed. The 
present edition is revised and greatly enlarged. 
Its scope has also been greatly extended since the earlier editions were published. 
The varieties in vegetables recommended for market culture are kinds in general use at this time.
