{consider this the best work on the Garden ever published. Mr. 

 Greiner has the reputation of being the foremost writer on 

 Garden topics in America. In "How to Make the Garden Pay", 

 he has concentrated years of practical experience in the garden, 

 combined with a thorough theoretical knowledge of the subject. 

 Withal, it is treated in such a clear and concise manner, that a nov- 

 ice in gardening can follow the teachings of this book and make a 

 success of whatever he undertakes. Whether a farmer, a market 

 gardener, or one who is cultivating a small plat around his home 

 for the daily supply of fresh vegetables, you will find this book a 

 most decided help* It is handsomely printed, containb some 270 

 illustrations, including many details in greenhouse and hotbed work, 

 and is durably bound in cloth. A good book to look at, better still 

 to read; ornamental and useful. The first edition was published 

 about 6 years ago. The rapid development of the last few years 

 in the many appliances of the garden, and the advance in improved 

 methods, made a new and revised edition an absolute necessity. 

 This new edition contains everything down to date. The Table of 

 Contents .shows the scope of the book.

THIS is the most readable, the most practical, and therefore the 

 most helpful book on the farm ever published. Mr Terry is 

 probably better known among farmers than any other agricultural 

 writer in the United States. Probably no man ever commenced 

 farming under adverse circumstances than did he. Without 

 knowledge of the busmess, a small worn out farm, heavily in debt, 

 were the conditions that confronted him at the outset. He set to 

 work to gain a knowledge of his business in the hard school of ex- 

 perience, paid his debts, made his farm profitable and has kept it 

 so. How he did it is told in "Our Farming". It was not by any 

 transcendent ability, outside help or fortunate speculation; simply 

 hard, steady work, supplemented with good common sense and 

 self denial. What any man can do now, excepting that to-day a 

 man has many helps that were unknown forty years ago. Not 

 only does " Our Farming " tell how Mr. Terry succeeded, but it 

 contains other valuable information, as will be seen in the Table of
