THE BEST BOOK ON GARDENING. 
Gardening for Profit 
In the Market and Family Garden. 
By Peter Henderson. 
ILLUSTRATED, 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
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-beds. Numerous well-exe¬ 
cuted wood cuts tend to make clearer tbc instructions o< 
the author .—Philadelphia Inquirer. 
The author of this treatise is one of the best known 
and most successful of those gardeners who supply New 
York with green vegetables ; and as be writes from long 
and dear-bought, experience, the positive, dogmatic tone 
lie often assumes is by no means unbecoming. The book 
itself is intended to be a guide for beginners embarking 
in tlie author’s business, and gives full and explicit, direc¬ 
tions about all the operations connected with market¬ 
gardening, lists of varieties of the most profitable vege¬ 
tables, and much sound advice on kindred topics. Though 
designed for a special class, it cannot fail to be valuable 
to the amateur and private gardener, and unlucky experi¬ 
ence has taught ns that tbc information contained in a 
single chapter would have been worth to us the price of 
the book .—Daily Mercury (New Bedford).

NEW WORK ON ARCHITECTURE. 
ATWOOD’S 
Country and Suburban 
By DANIEL T. ATWOOD, 
ARCHITECT. 
Illiistrateol wish about 150 Engravings. 
The interest and love manifested by all classes for 
tasteful homes in tiro country may bo regarded as one of 
thcliappy results of our united American civilization, 
and it is a cause of sincere thanksgiving that a policy of 
government, so wise and liberal in its principles, lias 
been maintained, in whose bounteous soil the sentiment 
for home beauty lias been propagated, and become so 
universal among all classes of our fellow-countrymen. 
It is to contribute something toward the .practical shap¬ 
ing of this interest that the author supplies the public 
with the Hints and suggestions found in this work, as to 
the general principles of house building, style, cosl. 
location, and modes of building; and lie believes bis 
labors will not lie In vain. 
Contents. 
It is unquestionably the most thorough and. the'best 
work of. its kind we have yet bad 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 tbc 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 be 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; lie is a practical man, and he has the 
art of imparting the knowledge he possesses in a very 
agreeable manner; and he lias brought together an ex¬ 
traordinary amount of useful matter in a small volume, 
which, those who would “garden for profit” ought to 
study carefully .—Evening Traveller (Boston). 
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 lias made him¬ 
self rich by market-gardening plainly tells our young 
men bow they can get rich as easily as lie did, anct-with¬ 
out wandering to California or Montana for it either. 
[Horace Greeley in the -N. T. Tribune. 
We have devoted more space to this little work than 
we usually do to tomes much more pretentious. Wo have 
done so because of the rare merits of the hook inTts 
fund of information, useful to the farmer and market: 
gardener, and because of tlie dearth .of that kind of 
knowledge. Wo 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 lie 
their primer, and we will vouch for the excellence and 
endurance of tlie priming. The work is profusely illus¬ 
trated with wood cuts .—Louisville Daily Journal.

A NEW SERIAL STORY, 
By JEAN ING-ELOW. 
Ii. is with no little pride that we announce that the first 
extended prose story ever written by Jean Ingelow will 
appear in the columns of 
HEARTH - HOME. 
We have purchased, at a very liberal price, exclusive 
right to use this story serially in America, and it will ex¬ 
tend nearly or quite through the coming year. We count 
it quite a triumph that this favorite writer and charming 
story-teller will be first known to the American public as 
a novelist through our columns. The chapters already in 
our hands are full of the delightful description, clear in¬ 
sight, and pure religious feeling that mark all this gifted 
author’s productions, while they seem to indicate a ina 
turity of power, a richness of imagination, in advance 
even of her previous works. Few will read the opening 
passages without being fascinated by their weird beauty, 
and without an irresistible desire to follow the story to 
the end. It is the ripe fruit of the author’s genius.
