The personal success of its author during his long career as a market gardener, 

 and the success of thousands from the time he first made his cultural methods 

 known up to the present day show the popular estimation of the value set 

 upon this great work. While written particularly for the Market Gardener

 story, from selection and treatment, of soils to marketing the produce; also 

 covers the forcing of vegetables, strawberries, etc.
