One of the most popular works of recent years on similar topics was 

 the ''Gardening for Profit"" of Mr. Peter Hexdersox, the weli-known 

 florist of Jersey City. He has been equally fortunate in the title of a new 

 book from his pen, just published by tiie Orange Judd Co.. of yevv-York 

 — '-Gardening for Pleasure."* The* author has a happy faculty of writing 

 for the most'part just what people want to know — so' that, although his 

 books are neither exhaustive nor especially elaborate, they proceed to the 

 gist of the subject in hand with so much directness and simplicity that they 

 fill a most important and useful sphere in our rural literature.— Culti- 

 xalor and Country (jthUtnian^ A^Lbatiy^ X. Y. 



It gives, in a clear, intelligible form, just the information that novices 

 and even experienced cultivators wish to have always accessible, and will 

 be specially valuable to those who keep house plants'— Obsti%er, Isiew- 

 York City. 



^Ir. Peter Henderson has followed up " Gardening for Profit "' with 

 Gardenins for Pleasure,"" into which is packed much useful intoniiation 

 about window-gardens, the management of fiower-beds, etc. — Tke Inde-
