GARDENING FOR PROFIT 
IN THE MARKET AND FAMILY GARDEN. 
By PETER HENDERSON. Finely Illustrated. 
This is the first work on Market Gardening ever published in this country. Its author is well known as a market gardener of eighteen years* successful experience. In this 
work he has recorded this experience, and given, without reservation, the methods necessary to the profitable culture of the commercial or 
It is a book which commends itself, not only to those who grow vegetables for sale, but to the cultivator of the \ 
to whom it presents methods quite different from the old ones generally practiced. It is an okicihai* and purely American* work, and not made up, as books on gardening too 
often are, by quotations from foreign authors. 
Every thing is made perfectly plain, and the subject treated in all its details, from the selection of the soil to preparing the products for market.

GARDEIMG FOR THE SOUTH, 
Or, HOW TO GROW VEGETABLES -AJViD FRUITS. 
By the late WILLIAM K WHITE, of Athens, Ga. 
\VTrci ADDITIONS BY MR. J. VAN BUHEN, AND DR. JAS. CAMAK. 
Though entitled "Gardening 
for the South," the work is one 
the utility of which is not restrict- 
ed to the South. It is an adniira- 
hle treatise on gardening in gen- 
eral, and will rank among the most 
useful horticultural works of the 
present day. Horticultural opera- 
tions are clearly explained, and 
more in detail than is usual in 
works of this kind. To those liv- 
ing in the warmer portions of the 
Union, the work will be especially 
valuable, as it gives the varieties 
of vegetables and fruits adapted 
to the climate and the modes of 
culture which it is necessary to 
follow.
