PREFACE. 



It is unnecessary to say more, in introducing the present volume, 

 than that it is of the same style and character as those from 

 my pen which have preceded it. 



That is to say, practical illustration is a great feature of it. 



Its sister volumes were welcomed, I believe, because an effort 

 was made to render their teaching clear without being wordy. I 

 have saved the reader's time and my own by follow^ing the same 

 lines in this. 



The series represents gardening instruction in tabloid form.
