NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
It supplies a place long vacant in Southern literature, and 
should be in the hands of every man or woman who culti- 
vates a foot of ground. While it treats very freely of the 
vegetable garden, it devotes much space also to fruits etc 
— Tribune (Mobile, Ala.) 
It is illustrated by a portrait of the author, and numerous 
engravings of subjects treated. It is a work of WO pa"-e« 
aud is a complete manual of kitchen gardening and fruit 
culture.— Telegraph (Macon, Ga.) 
Mr. White was prime authority in his specialty, and this 
volume is a complete manual for gardening for Southern 
latitudes. Besides the usual fruits and vegetables of North- 
ern gardens, there are full instructions as to the culture of 
the almond, fig, orange, lemon, shaddock, olive, yam 
ground-nut, Madeira nut, and pistachio. In view of the ris- 
ing importance of "truck farming" in the South to supply 
Northern markets with early vegetables and fruit, this book 
is quite important to the gardeners of either section.- 
Register (Wheeling, W. Ta.) 
Coming from the pen of an experienced cultivator of 
Southern vegetables and fruits, the reader, whether of old 
or recent residence, is put in possession of lacts relatin- to 
the soil, climate, and varieties of plants adapted to"the 
South that would otherwise require much time and expense 
to acquire. The vineyard and orchard receive sufficient 
attention to furnish all the necessary information for the 
beginner. We regard the book as especially adapted for the 
private garden, and if a copy could be placed in the hands 
of every farmer, we might expect, on our visits to the coun- 
try, to be regaled upon something else than "bacon and 
greens."— Daily State Journal. 
The first edition of this work appeared in 1836, but the 
second, now just issued, is much enlarged, containing 444 
pages. It embraces a much larger range of topics than the 
title indicates, and is one of the most valuable compilations 
of facts that we have anywhere Been in a single volume re- 
lating to different kinds of soil, and their adaptation to'dif. 
ferent kinds of fruit and vcgetMes.-Journal or Agricul- 
ture (St. Louis, Mo.) 
The book itself we can commend to our farmers and gar- 
deners. Its author was formerly connected with the 
"Southern Agriculturist," a most excellent farmers' paper 
and was thoroughly acquainted with the wants of the 
Southern people in respect to their farming and gardening 
operations.- Gazette and Banner. 
A complete gardening book for the localities whicli it 
specifies. It is full and comprehensive, and written in a 
clear, perspicuous style. A volume of 414 pages, well 
printed and bound— Republican (St. Louis, Mo.) 
It is very comprehensive, embracing all the Improved 
kinds of fruits and vegetables, and the modern modes and 
implements or tillage. Its arrangement Is systematic and 
entirely convenient for prompt reference. It is illustrated 
by a largo number of drawings relating to garden and fruit 
cultivation, such as trailing, grafting, draining, transplant- 
ing, together with pictures of novel fruits and vegetables -

A Good Book for Farmers. 
Farm -Gardening 
AND 
SEED - GROWING. 
BV FRANCIS BRILL. 
NOTICES BT THE PRESS. 
Orange Judd & Co. have added to their splendid catalogue 
of agricultural books "Farm-Gardening and Seed-Grow 
ing," by Francis Brill; it is practical, plain, complete, and 
satisfactory, so that for a small amount of money a great 
deal of desirable information can be obtained. If there is 
any firm anywhere which is to-day disseminating so much 
knowledge in regard to tilling of the soil as this same said 
firm of Orange Judd & Co., we will present a medal to our 
informer.— Watchman and Rejlector (Boston). 
The want occasionally expressed to us of a work on the 
cognate subjects above named (Farm-Gardening and Seed- 
Growing), is now met in a book under this title from the 
pen of Mr. Francis Brill, formerly a market-gardener and 
seed-grower at Newark, N. J., and at present engaged in 
raising seeds at Mattituck, L. I. Its directions are concise 
and practical, covering those points on which a beginner is 
most likely to require information.— Country Gentleman. 
Mr. Brill has had large experience, and derived his knowl- 
edge wholly from the school of actual tests.— Chicago 
Evening Journal. 
We have in this volume the results of a practical man's 
experience in raising root crops and other vegetables in the 
market-garden. Not only the professional seed-grower and 
trucker, but the amateur gardener who has a little patch in 
his suburban home, will find many a valuable hint and di- 
rection in this full and comprehensive manual.— Sunday- 
School Times. 
It seems to be a very sensible, practical work by a practi- 
cal man. Mr. Brill's father was a gardener ; and he himself 
has had an extensive experience, and lie talks about what 
he knows, which is more than can be said of many authors of 
industrial works.— Moore's Rural New Yorker. 
There can be no question that this farm-gardening can be 
made in many districts of the Southern Atlantic States, es- 
pecially near the coast, far more profitable than growing the 
ordinary staple crops. In connection with producing the 
vegetables, the growing and saving their seeds receive 
minute attention.— American Farmer (Baltimore). 
A very useful hand-book, not merely for fanners and 
growers of seed on an extensive scale, but for all who, whe- 
ther for recreation or for the purpose of supplying their own 
families with garden products, desire to know something 
about the adaptation of seed to soil and the mode of culture. 
— Church Journal (New York). 
This industry is now occupying the attention of many per- 
sons who sell their products to the great seed-houses, and 
novices who have the facilities, and wish to enter upon the 
business, will find in this book just the hints needed.— 
Springjield Republican. 
Mr. Brill has been a successful farm-gardener and seed- 
grower for a number of years, and gives in a clear and con- 
cise form the knowledge he has gained It gives the 
best method of manuring, planting, and cultivating every 
vegetable sold in markets— in short, everything required to 
be known, plainly and fully— and should be in the hands of 
every one who cultivates so much as a rod of land, for 
family use, pleasure, or profit.— Suffolk (L. I.) Times. 
The seal of Orange ludd & Co. upon an agricultural pub- 
lication is sufficient guarantee of its worth. Francis Brill's 
book, published by th>m, is a very complete work, giving 
plain, minute instructions as to raising, taking car- Jr. and 
bringing to market thoso vegetables which are most in de- 
mand in the large cities, and those seeds which are being 
called for throughout the country.-JV. )'. Evening Mail. 
The work or showing how this can be accomplished has 
fallen in good hands, and it has been done well. The book 
will well repay perusal, and we hope soon to see its good 
effects in a more intelligent direction of farm industry, and 
accompanied by more satisfactory pecuniary results —Me 
Signal (L.I.) 
To the market-gardener, or even the owner of a small 
piece of tillable land, this book will be of great value. 
Qualities of soil required for the growth of different vegeta- 
bles, how to plant, how to cultivate, to harvest, and preserve 
during winter.— y. Y. Citizen and Round Table.
