NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
A home! A home in the country 1 And a home made 
beautiful by taste! Here are three ideas which invest 
with a triple charm the subject of this exquisite vol¬ 
ume. We know of nothing, which indicates a more 
healthy progress among our countrymen than the grow¬ 
ing taste for such homes. The American people are 
quick to follow a fashion, and it is getting to he the 
fashion to have a place in the country, and to beautify 
it; and this is at once fed and guided by such books as 
this, which lay down the just principles of landscape 
gardening, and teach all how to use the means at their 
disposal. This book is prepared with careful judgment. 
It includes many plans, and furnishes minute instruc¬ 
tion for the laying out of grounds and the planting of 
trees. We have found very great pleasure in a first in¬ 
spection, and doubt not that when another summer re¬ 
turns, we shall find the book as practically useful as it 
is beautiful to the eye and exciting to the imagination. — 
IV. Y. Evangelist. 
Orange Judd & Co. have just issued a hook that hun¬ 
dreds, perhaps thousands, of our readers will he glad to 
have. It is a quarto volume, devoted to views and plans 
of grounds around and about rural residences, homes in 
the country; actual pictures of lawns laid out, with 
walks, and fountains, and trees, each particular tree and 
bush being on the spot where it stands in the grounds ; 
for all these are actual sketches of places owned and laid 
out by persons whose names are given with them, so that 
the places themselves may he visited by any body who 
wishes to see them. It will he good economy for any 
one who wishes to go into the luxury of rural residence 
to buy this hook—it will cost only fifteen dollars—and 
will save fifteen hundred, perhaps as many thousands, by 
opening one’s eyes to see what is to he done, and what it 
will cost to do it. — IV. V. Obsener. 
We have from Orange Judd & Co. a magnificent 
manual, entitled Beautifying Country Homes; a Hand- 
Book of Landscape Gardening. It is a brief treatise on 
landscape gardening and architecture, explaining the 
principles of beauty which apply to it, and making just 
those practical suggestions of which every builder and 
owner of a little land, who desires to make the most of 
it in the way of convenience and taste, stands in need; 
in regard to lawns, drainage, roads, drives, walks, grad¬ 
ing, fences, hedges, trees—their selection and their 
grouping, flowers, water, ornamentation, rock-work, 
tools, and general improvements. The chapter on “im¬ 
proving new places economically ” would he worth much 
more than the cost of the hook ten times over to many 
persons. The whole is illustrated, not only by little 
sketches, hut by a series of full page lithographs of places 
which have been actually treated in accordance with the 
principles laid down, with lists of trees and shrubs, and 
other useful suggestions. Wc have never met with any 
thing- — and we have given a good deal of attention to the 
subject, and bought a great many books upon it—-which 
seemed to us so helpful and, in general, so trustworthy 
ns this treatise, which we heartily commend. We omit¬ 
ted to say that it has been done by Mr. J. Wcidenmaim, 
Superintendent of the City Park, and of Cedar Hill Ceme¬ 
tery, Hartford, Conn.— Congregationalisl (Boston).

A VALUABLE BOOK. 
GARDENING FOR PROFIT* 
IN THE MARKET AND FAMILY GARDEN. 
BY PETER 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 nineteen years’ successful experience. 
In this work he has recorded this experience, and giver 
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, hut 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 authors. 
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 tho 
conditions of success and causes of failure clearly stated. 
The success of the market gardeners near New York 
City is proverbial, and this work sets forth most plainly 
the means by which this success has been attained. Val¬ 
uable hints are given to those who would raise Vegetables 
at the South for northern markets. 
The following synopsis of its contents will show tho 
scope of the work :
