IN MY GARDEN. 
By E. P. ^OE, 
Author of “ Barriers Burned Away ,” etc. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
The author takes us to his garden on the rocky hill-sides in 
the vicinity of West Point and shows us how out of it, after 
four years’ experience, lie evoked a profit of $1,000, and this 
while carrying on pastoral and literary labors.It 
is very rare ■that so much literary taste ami skill are mated 
to so much agricultural experience and practical good sense. 
—Harper's Magazine. 
This hook is as poetical as it is practical. Still lie is no 
dreamer. He goes into every essential detail with 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 this brief idyllic sketch.— N. X- Tribune. 
A very charming hook, not only by reason of its pleasant 
style, hut for its quiet refined humor and fund of really use¬ 
ful information on the sub.jectof gardening. — Boston Gazette.. 
It deserves to stand side by side with “My Summer in a 
Garden.”— Christian Register.

“Enclosed find draft for $3.00, the published price of re¬ 
vised editions of ‘Gardening for Profit’ and ‘Practical 
Floriculture.’ I have first editions, and they have saved the 
cost of each more than one hundred times. Many thanks for

“ December 8th, 1874. 
“ Your Gardening for Profit is what tlie Family Bible is to 
a good old Methodist—the only sure guide.” 
“March 23 d, 1874. 
“If this should go to Mr. Henderson, 1 would say that I 
believe thegardeners of this country would gladly hail an¬ 
other edition of‘Gardening for Profit:’ at least, I thank 
him for that little work. Through its influence I left a pay¬ 
ing manufacturing business and began to follow its teach¬ 
ings. This was three years ago. Now I have a market 
garden of thirty acres and 400 four-feet sash, and enjoy my¬ 
self as I never did before. Again I thank him."
