descriptions instead of the Linnzean or artificial system; and a carefully compiled glossary of the technical 
A monthly calendar of operations for the 
flower, fruit and kitchen garden, will undoubtedly render this edition ealuable as a book of reference. Very 
full instructions are given for the culture and forcing of all Fruits, Flowers and Vegetables of importance; 
in short, there is sufficient matter given on all gardening subjects to allow this book to be termed The

American Gardener's Dictionary. And it will be better adapted to the wants of American horticulturists 
than any of the more costly foreign works on gardening; for, though from a foreign standpoint these are all they claim to be, yet for. our 
American climate much of the information, and especially the gardening instructions, are not only useless, but actually misleading.

Everything pertaining to scientific or 
abstruse subjects has been ignored, the information given ‘being the most direct to make the 
work of the farm pay, which the so-called scientific farmer rarely does. This is perhaps

both, has been such a continued success—hence, their advice is practical and doubly valuable.
