follow gardening for profit, but also the boys and the

care and management of the family garden. Every minu- 
tia of garden management is plainly given and illustrated. 
There are a hundred things told and described in this 
book that any wide-awake cultivator would give five 
times the cost to know. It interests the enterprising boy,

ground can be made to yield. It interests the farmer, be¬ 
cause he can learn from it how well good cultivation and 
the proper management of soils will pay , and how an un¬ 
kindly soil can be ameliorated. He can learn much of

what every farmer needs to know of the treatment of 
soils.— Palmers' Advertiser (St. Louis). 
This volume, which is alike creditable to Mr. Hender¬ 
son’s head and heart, and which powerfully illustrates the 
push inherent in the Scottish character, ought to be in 
the hands of every gentleman who would turn his gar¬ 
dening propensities to good account.

It is the summing up of the experience of one of the 
most extensive and most successful gardeners of New 
Jersey, and whose opinion is accepted as authority. 
[The North-western (Bclvidere, His.) 
He (Mr. Henderson) began life as a poor boy, and by 
industry and aptitude has made a large fortune ; and, un¬ 
like his prototype, Grant Thorburn, he knows how to 
keep it. But he has neither shoddied nor speculated, 
nor traded; and not a dollar of his riches comes from a 
less honorable source than the culture of the soil. And 
now, with an unselfishness that does him honor, he gives 
ns this hook ; and the hook is nothing less than the key 
to wealth—the same key he has used for twenty years —

to select and to best raise the vegetables and fruits whicli 
make the most profit.— Picayune (New Orleans). 
It is unquestionably the most thorough and the best 
work of its kind we have yet had form the pen of an 
Americnn 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.) 
There are marvels of transformation and rapid repro¬ 
duction recorded therein, which might well shame the 
dull fancy of the author of Aladdin or of Kaloolali. 
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 either.
