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 tile 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 and 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 he 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 tlie secret of winning golden harvests from the soil 
than this 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 Oazette. 
It deserves to stand side by side with “My Summer in a 
Garden.”— Christian Register. 
A fresh, lively work.— N. Y. Observer. 
One reads without weariness and learns much of practical 
value, — Chicago Evening Journal. 
Full of information. Explains just wliat Hie reader wishes 
to know. We most Heartily commend it.— Providence Even¬ 
ing ITess. 
A chatty, sensible, profitable book.— Cleveland Herald. 
The book gives much valuable information, and gives it 
in the pleasantest manner Imaginable. — Detroit Daily Union.

The principles of their construction and use; with

237 ILLUSTRATIONS. PRICE, POST-PAID. $1.50. 
The basis of this admirable work was an essay published 
in 1850, in the Transactions of the N. Y. State Agricultural 
Society, which was enlarged, and in 1854 published by the 
Harpers. It has been, and remains, the only work in which 
the principles of Natural Philosophy, namely, the mechan¬ 
ical powers, and the powers of water, wind, and lieat, are 
systematically discussed as applied to the operations of the 
farm. This work has now been most carefully revised by 
the author. It is much enlarged, and a great part lias been 
re-written, while the illustrations, before abundant, now 
number two hundred and eighty-seven. There is not an agri¬ 
cultural writer that could be named more respected than 
John J. Thomas, or one whose judgment and freedom from 
personal bias in discussing new implements could be more 
implicitly relied upon.
