NOTICES BT THE PRESS. 
Here is a book that will interest not only those who 
follow gardeniDg for profit, but also the boys and the 
matrons npon the farm, who too often have the whole 
care and management of the family garden. Every minu- 
tia of garden management is plainly given and Ulastrated. 
There are a hundred things told and described in thia 
book that any wide-awake caltivator would give five 
times the cost to know. It interests the enterprising boy, 
because from it he can learn how much a small patch of 
ground can he made to yield. It interests the fanner, be- 
cause he can learn from it how well good cultivation and 
the proper management of soils will pay, and how an un- 
kindly soil can be ameliorated. He can learn much of 
what every farmer needs to know of the treatment of 
soils. — Fa}-mers' Advertiser {St. Louis). 
This volume, which is alike creditable to Mr. Hender- 
son's head and heart, and which powerf nlly illustrates the 
push inherent in the Scottish chnracter, ought to be in 
the hands of every gentleman who would turn his gar- 
dening propensities to good account. 
[Scottish American Journal (New York). 
We are sure we shall do cm readers a favor if we can 
induce them to purchase and consult this book. We know 
of nothing on the subject eqtial to it. 
[The Telegraph (Painesville, O.). 
It is the summing up of the experience of one of the 
most extensive and most successful gardeners of New 
Jersey, and whose opinion is accepted as authority. 
[The North- u-tgtern (Behidere, Ills.) 
He (Mr. Henderson) began life as a poor boy, and by 
industry and aptitude has made a large fortane ; and, un- 
like his prototype, Grant Thorbum, he knows how to 
keep it. But he has neither shoddicd nor speculated, 
nor traded; and not a dollar of his riches comes from a 
less honorable source than the culture of the soil. And 
now, with an unselfishness that does him honor, he gives 
us this book ; and the hook is nothing less than the key 
to wealth— the same key he has used for twenty years- 
polished by wear, and working easily by long usage. 
[Daily Dispatch (Richmond, Va.) 
In every department it is full and complete, furnishing 
an invaluable manual for the market gardener, while for 
the ctUtivator of a family garden its hints and instruc- 
tions are none the less practical and interesting. It has 
chapters upon location, situation and laying out of lands 
for gardening ; soils, drainage and preparation ; manures 
and implements ; formation, management, and uses of 
hot-beds and cold frames ; how, when, and where to sow 
seeds; vegetables, their varieties and cultivation ; and 
upon several other kindred subjects. The most valuable 
kinds of vegetables are described, and the cnlturc proper 
to each is given in detail.— i\'.fifJ Bampshire Sentinel. 
We are creatures of habit, and many persons live with- 
out the pleasures and comforts of a garden because they 
have never known what these pleasures aud comforts 
ore. To all such we say. buy a little land aud buy Peter 
Henderson's "Ganicning for Profit, ' and learn to live 
under your own vine and apple-tree. Wo c^m't tell you In 
a newspaper article how to raise lettuce and asparagus, 
but Peter, iu his little book, published by the Orange 
Judd Co., New York, tells the whole story in the most 
lucid munnQT.— Gleaner and Advocate (Lee, Mass.) 
Peter Henderson's '"Gardening for Profit,"* at $1.50, 
will tell more than e\ cu most gardeners know as to how 
to select audio best raise the vegetables and fruits which 
make the most profit.— Picwywnf (New Orleaus), 
It is unquestionably Ihe most ilioruugli nnd Ibc best 
work of its kind we have yet bad form the pen of an 
Anierican author. It is written in a clear, concise style, 
and thus made more coniprehonsivo ilian works which 
smack more uf the office than the fanu or gsirdcn. 
[Daily Evening Times (Biingor, Mc ) 
There arc marvels of transformation and rapid repro- 
duction recorded therein, which might well i^hanic the 
dull fancy of the author of Aladdin or of Knloul.h. 
There is no theory about it ; a man who has maile hi;u- 
eclf rich by market-gardcring plainly tells onr young 
men huw Iliey can i;et rich as i ;if^ily as he did, and with- 
out wander'ng to Cilifurnia or Montana for it cither.
