Ail the vegetables that thrive in the open air in our 
latitude are described, together with the best methods 
for growing them. The author also imparts practical 
instructions on the subjects of drainage, and the forma- 
tion and management of hot-bed?. Numerous well-ex- 
ecuted wood -en is tend to make clearer the instructions of 
the author.— PkUadetpMa inqiti 
The author of tii I one of the best known 
and most Buoccs&fo] of those gardeners who supply New 
York with green ; and as he writes from long 
and dear-bought experience, the positive, dogmatic lone 
he often assumes i unbecoming. The book 
itself >s intended > for beginners embarking 
in the author's Tousi ives full and explicit direc- 
tions about l fled with market- 
garde: "ng, lists of varieti -t profitable vege- 
tables, and much sound advice on kindred topics. Though 
designed for a special class, it can not fan to be valuable 
to the amateur and private gardener, and unlucky experi- 
ence has taught lis that the information contained in a 
single chapter would hdvo been worfti tfa n"a the price of 
the book. — Daily J ' Bedford 
It is unquestionably the most thorough and the best 
work of its kind we have yet had from the pen of an 
American author. It is written in a clear, concise style, 
and thus made more comprehensive than works which 
smack more of the office than the farm or garden. 
{Daily Evening Times (Bangor, Me.). 
Mr. Henderson writes from knowledge, and is not one 
of those amateur cultivators whose potatoes cost them 
ten dollars a bushel, and whose eggs ought to he as 
valuable as those of that other member of their family — 
the goose of golden-egg-laying memory — for they are all 
but priceless. No ; he is a practical man, and he lias the 
art of imparting the knowledge he possesses in a very 
agreeable manner ; and he has brought together an ex- 
traordinary amount of useful matter ia a small volume, 
which those who would "garden for profit "' ought to 
study carefully. — Evening Traveller (Boston). 
The»e are marvels of transformation and rapid repro- 
duction recorded therein, which might well shame the 
dull fancy of the author of Aladdin or of Kaloolah. 
There is no theory about it ; a man who has made him- 
self rich by market-gardening plainly tells our young 
men how they can get rich as easily as he did, and with- 
out wandering to California or Montana for it cither. 
[Horace Gheelev in the X. Y. Tribune. 
We have devoted more space to this little work than 
we usually do to tomes much more pretentious. We have 
done so because of the rare merits of the book in its 
fund of information, useful lo the farmer and market- 
gardener, and because of the dearth cf that kind of 
knowledge. We earnestly advise that fraternity, for 
whom this work was written, to buy it and study it. If 
any among them have never yet read a hook, let this he 
their primer, and we will vonch for the excellence and 
endurance of the priming. The work is profusely illus- 
trated with wood-cuts.— 7 "y Journal.

notices BY 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 email amount of money a great 
deal of desirable information can he obtained. If there is 
any firm anywhere winch is to-d^y 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 Reflector (Boston). 
The want occasionally expressed to us of a work on the 
connate 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 Mattttuck, 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 k 
edge wholly from the school of actn [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 lias a little patch in 
his suburban home, will find many a valuable hint and di- 
rection in this fall 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 he talks about what 
he knows, which is more than can be said of many authors of 
industrial works.— Moor?* 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 fBaltimore). 
A very useful hand-book, not merely for farmers and 
growers of seed on an extensive scale, but for all who, whe- 
ther r recreation or for the purpose of supplying their own 
familk 3 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-bouses, and 
novices who have the facilities, and wish to enter upon the 
business, will find in this book just the bints needed. — 
Springfield 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 sbonld 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.) Timet. 
The seal of Orange Tudd & Co. upon an agricultural pub- 
lication is sufficient guirantee of its worth . Francis Brill's 
book, published by thim, is a very complete work, giviug 
plain, minute instructions as to raising, taking care o£ and 
bringing to market those vegetables which arc most in de- 
mand in the large cities, and those seeds whicli arc being 
called [br throughout the country.— y. Y. Evening Mail. 
The work of 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.— TJte 
Signal (L.I.) 
To the market-gardener, or even the owner of a small 
piece of tillable land, this book will he 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.— A" Y. Citizen and Roimd Table.

It enpplics a place long vacant in Southern literature, and 
should be in the bauds of every man or woman who culti- 
vates a foot of ground. TVhfla it p-eate very freely of the

It is illustrated by a portrait of the author, and numerous 
engravings of subjects treated. It is n. work of 450 pages, 
an I is a complete manuiil 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 arc full instructions ns to the culture of 
the almond, fig, orange, lemon, shaddock, olive, yarn, 
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 
i3 quite important to the gardeners of eilher section.— 
Register (Wheeling, W. VoJ 
Coming from the pen of an experienced cultivator of 
Southern vegetables ami fruits, the render, whether of old 
or recent residence, la put in possession of tacts relating 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 forthe 
private garden, and if a copy could he placed in the hands 
of every farmer, we might expect, on ojr visits to the conn- 
try, to be regaled upon something else than "bacon and 
greens."— Daily State Journal. 
The first edition of this wort appeared in J&5«, bnt the 
second, now just issued, is much cn'.arged, 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 seen in a single volume, re- 
lating to different kinds of soil, and their adaptation to d!f 
ferent kinds of fruit and vegetables.— Journal of 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* pjper, 
and was thoroughly acquainted with the wants of the 
Southern people In respect to their farming and gardening 
operations.— Gazette and Banner.
