" From the systematic arrangement of the parts, under'appro- 

 priate heads, and the plain and practical nature of the instructions, 

 it must be an invaluable manual for those who may wish to super- 

 intend the management -of their own gardens;" — Albany Argus.

 and his book is an excellent manual and guide for the beginner, 

 whether old or young, in horticultural pursuits. 5 ' — Gazette.

" Written with a good deal of practical knowledge of the subject 

 on which it treats. The directions given, the author says, are the 

 result of twelve years' experience, and we dare to say, that though 

 submitted in an unpretending form, they will be found as useful, 

 if not mor*;.so, than those in more costly and expensive works." —

 this useful little manual is published, and is rendered of increased 

 value by the-addition of several matters not contained in either of 

 the former editions. Among these is a short and convenient 

 calendar to assist the gardener's memory.'' — Evening Post. 



"The calendarial index is invaluable, and of itself worth the 

 price of the book." — Commercial, 



" That work which teaches us how to create Liid to improve this 

 most innocent and useful source of pleasure, is surely worthy of 

 applaud and patronage ; and such we consider the 1 Young Gar-
