American agriculturist; 
GARDENING FOR THE SOUTH; 
OR, HOW TO GROW 
VEGETABLES AND EMITS. 
BY THE LATE 
WILLIAM N. WHITE, 
OP ATHENS, GA. 
WITH ADDITIONS BY ME. J. VAN BITEEN, AND 
DH. JAS. CAMAK. 
EEVISED AND NEWLY STEE1SOTYPED. 
ILLUSTRATED. 
Though entitled “ Gardening for the South,” the work 
is one the utility of which is not restricted to the South. 
It is an admirable treatise on gardening in general, and 
will rank among the most useful horticultural works of 
the present day. Horticultural operations are clearly ex¬ 
plained, and more in detail than is usual in works of this 
kind. To those living in the warmer portions of the 
Union, the work will be especially valuable, as it gives 
the varieties of vegetables and fruits adapted to the cli¬ 
mate and the modes of culture which it is necessary to 
follow.

Notices bt tiie press : 
A very complete and every way admirable treatise on 
the Conifene, or cone-bearing plants, is The Book of 
Evergreens. Mr. Iloopes has devoted many years of labor 
and attention to the beautiful class of trees treated of, 
aud his work, which is copiously illustrated, must at 
once become an authority. We shall be glad also, if it 
induces any to a closer study of trees, and to a further 
ornamentation of their houses with them. 
[Springfield Republican. 
The value of this volume consists in its being both a 
labor of love and of duty. The author, having devoted 
a life to the study of trees and plants as a practical horti¬ 
culturist, records here his views and experiences. Mr. 
Iloopes has studied all the treatises which bear on liis 
subject, and availed himself of the assistance of many 
scientific friends, as well as recorded his own experience. 
The illustrations are numerous and excellent, and alto¬ 
gether the work has all the characteristics of an authori¬ 
ty on the subject it so minutely and comprehensively 
treats.— [Boston Transcript. 
It is a practical treatise on the Coniferx, or cone-hear¬ 
ing plants, describing them in all their families, and 
their best culture, management, and so forth, and is well 
illustrated. It fills a vacant niche, and every intelligent 
culturist of trees should have and use it. 
[Congregationalist & Recorder, (Boston). 
The work was evidently prepared with great care and 
pains, and embodies the results of years of close obser¬ 
vation and study. It is one of great value to the agri¬ 
culturist and landscape gardener, and of special interest 
to all who care to know anything of the flora of the globe. 
To those who wish to raise trees, it is an indispensable 
hand-book.— [Liberal Christian. 
It is undoubtedly the most complete American work of 
the kind in print. It is well illustrated and handsomely 
printed.— [Boston Journal. 
We have examined this handsome book with a great 
deal of pleasure and satisfaction. The author has pur¬ 
sued a very desirable plan in his work, giving sufficient 
scientific information to meet the wants of the botanical 
student, and yet the work is sufficiently elementary in 
explaining terms and points about plant structure, and 
systems of classification,—in short, plain enough to meet 
the wants of every reader. It is printed in neat style, 
with thick covers and beveled edges, and a large number 
of very superior illustrations.— [Journal of Agriculture. 
The work is now ready. 433 t>., 12mo, on fine paper.
