NO book ever published on Gardening has excited so much 

 favorable comment as this work. Ten thousand copies 

 of the first edition have been sold at $2.00 each, during 

 the last few years by the book trade of America, and the de- 

 mand steadily increases, hence this new and enlarged edition. 



"How to Make the Garden Pay" contains more 

 than 100,000 words, is finely printed in large, readable type, is 

 handsomely bound, copiously 'illustrated at great expense, 

 with almost 200 practical illustrations, and is in all respects, 

 both as to the matter it contains and the manner in which it 

 has been printed, bound and published, superior to any work 

 of its kind ever issued. Whether the reader is a farmer who 

 cultivates a garden to supply only his own table, a resident of 

 a town or village with one or more village lots which he culti- 

 vates for both pleasure and profit, or a market gardener who 

 makes truck farming his regular business, he will find "How 

 to Make the Garden Pay" equally valuable to him. The 

 book has been written with special reference to all these 

 points. The professional and amateur gardener will alike 

 find solid meat in this work.
