wants are constantly kept in mind, and we have a very com¬ 
plete treatise on the cultivation of Bowers under glass, or 
in the open air, suited to those who grow flowers for plea¬ 
sure as well as those who make them a matter of trade. 
Tlie work is characterised by ttie same radical common 
sense that marked the author’s “ Gardening lor Profit,” and 
it holds a high place in the estimation of lovers of 
floriculture. The new edition has been thoroughly revised 
by tlie author, and much enlarged by the addition of valu¬ 
able matter. 
Tlie following are a few of tlie subjects embraced in the

Frames; Hot-Beds; Greenhouses Attached to Dwellings;

Winter-flowering Plants; Construction of Bouquets, Baskets, 
etc.; Parlor and Window-Gardening: Wardian-Cases and

Play and Profit 
IN MY GARDEN. 
By E. P. ROE, 
Author of “ Barriers Burned Away," etc. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
The author takes us to his garden on tlie rocky hill-sides in 
the vicinity of West Point and shows us how out of it, alter 
four years’ experience, lie evoked a profit of $1,000, and tills 
while carrying on pastoral and literary labors.It 
is very rare that so much literary taste and skill are mated 
to so much agricultural experience and practical good sense. 
—Harper's Magazine. 
This book is as poetical as it is practical. Still lie is no 
dreamer. He goes into every essential detail witli as much 
minuteness and precision as if lie were writing a manual for 
the practical farmer. Indeed few works professedly de¬ 
voted to agriculture give more sound and valuable informa¬ 
tion on the secret of winning golden harvests from the soil 
than tliis brief idyllic sketch.— N. Y. Tribune. 
A very charming book, not only by reason of its pleasant 
style, but for its quiet refined humor and fund of really use¬ 
ful information on the subject of gardening .—Poston Gazette. 
It deserves to stand side by side with “My Summer in a 
Garden.”— Christian Register. 
A fresh, lively work.— N. 1". Observer. 
One reads without weariness and learns much of practical 
value .—Chicago Evening Journal. 
Full of information. Explains just what the reader wishes 
to know. We most heartily commend it .—Providence Even¬ 
ing Press. 
A chatty, sensible, profitable book .—Cleveland Herald. 
The book gives much valuable information, and gives it 
in tlie pleasantest manner imaginable .—Detroit Daily Union.
