Gardening for Profit. 
A Ciuitle to the Suee«-<isrul Cultlviktioit of 
(Ut- Market and Family Garden. 
By peter HENDERSON. 
Finely Illustrated. Prlee, Post-paid, SI. 50. 
The following volnntary notices of Mr. Henderson's books 
are specimens of similar testimony from very many quarters, 
•' Febi-miryHh, 1875. 
"Enclosed find draft for $3.00, the published price of re- 
vised editions of ' G.irdening for Profit' and 'Practical 
Floriculture.' 1 have first editions, and they have saved the 
cost of (.-ach more than one bundrol times. Many thanks for 
what you are doing for the gardeners of the United Slates." 
" December at/i, is;4. 
■■ Tour GardenlnK for Profit is what the Family Bible is to 
a good old Methodist— the only sure ^uicle." 
"JMrcft 23./. 1874. 
"If tliis should pro to Mr. Henderson, I would say that I 
believe the ;:ardeners of this couiitiy would gladly hail an- 
other edition of 'Gardening for Profit:' at least, I thank 
him for that little wotlc. Through its influence I hTt a pay- 
ing manufacturing business and began to follow its teacli- 
ings. This was three years ago. Now I have a market 
garden of thirty acres and JOO four-feet sash, and enjoy u;y- 
aelf as I never did before. Again I thank him."

wants are constantly kept in mind, and we liave a very com- 
plete treatise on the cultivation of flowers under ;:lass. or 
in the open air, suited to those who gr(»v flowers lor plea- 
sure as Avell as those who make them a nnitter of trade. 
The W'lrk is characterized by the same radical coumion 
sense th;it marked the author's "Gardening lor Prolit." and 
it holds a high place in the estimation of lovers of 
floriculture. The new edition bas been tborouelily revised 
by the author, and uiucb enlarged by the addition of valu- 
able matter.

latest edition: 
Laying out Flower Garden and Lawn; Designs for 
Grounds and f6r Greenhouses; Soils for Potilng; Cold 
Frames; Hot-IIeds; Greenhouses Attached to Dwellings; 
Modes of Heating; Propagation of Plants by Seeds and by 
Cuttings; Culture of the llose and Tuberose; Growing of

etc.; Parlor and Window-Gardening: Wurdian-Cases ana
