A. NEW WORK. 
IN THE MAKKET AND FAMILY GARDEN. 
BY FETER. HENDERSON. 
Illustrated. 
This is the first work on Market. Gardening ever pub- 
lished in this country. Its author is well known as a 
market gardener of eighteen years 1 successful experience. 
In this work he has recorded this experience, and given 
without reservation the methods necessary to the profita- 
ble culture of the commercial or 
market garden. 
It is a work for which there has long been a demand, 
and one which will commend itself, not only to those 
who grow vegetables for sale, but to the cultivator of the 
FAMILY GARDEN 
To whom it presents methods quite different from the 
old ones generally practiced. It is an 
ORIGINAL AND PURELY AMERICAN 
work, and not made up, as books on gardening too often 
are, by quotations from foreign anthors. 
Everything is made perfectly plain, and the subject 
treated in all its details, from the selection of the soil to 
preparing the products for market. Frames, Hot-beds, 
and Forcing Houses, the management of which is usually 
so troublesome to the novice, are fully described, and the 
conditions of success and causes of failure clearly stated . 
The success of the market gardeners near New York 
City is proverbial, and this is the. only work that sets forth 
the means by which this success has been attained. Val- 
uable hints are given to those who would r t,: ~' 1 Vegetables 
at the South for northern markets. 
The following synopsis of its contents will show the 
scope of the work : 
Men Fitted for the Business of Gardening. 
The Amount of Capital Required . and 
Working Force per Aerc. 
Profits of Market Gardening. 
Location, Sittiation, and Laying Ont.
