This book, which embraces the results of years of practical experience on the topics of 
which it treats, has probably received higher and stronger endorsement than any work on 
Gardening heretofore published in this country. It is not a rehash of other writers’ ideas, 
but claims to supply just what others have omitted; or, to dwell particularly full upon 
subjec ts on which they have failed to throw sufficient light. The author has endeavored, 
in its composition, to be as brief and concise as possible, knowing well that in this hurry¬ 
ing age, the wheat will be considered more valuable without the chaff than with it.
