THIS BOOK, which was written by a man who 

 has spent more than thirty years teaching botany 

 and horticulture, is thoroughly practical, and will 

 be of great value to those who live upon small 

 country places, especially those whose work in the city 

 allows them but a few hours each day to spend about 

 the home. 



The author discusses the growing of farm and garden 

 crops, the care of the horse, the cow, poultry, and bees, 

 and similar subjects. 



It is a work that should be in the hands of every one 

 who owns or rents a bit of land in the country or 

 suburbs, and the large farmer will even find in it many 

 suggestions that will be of material aid to him. 



There are a great many illustrations showing plans of 

 orchards, vegetable and flower gardens, lawns, roads, 

 walks, etc.
