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 
tlie vicinity of West Point and shows us how out of it, after 
four years' experience, lie evoked a profit of $1,000, an4 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 book 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 he 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. 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 suh.lectof gardening .—Boston Gazette. 
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 what tlie reader wishes 
to know. We most heartily commend it .—Providence Even - 
ing Press. 
A chatty, sensible, profitable hook.— Cleveland Herald. 
The book gives mucli valuable information, and gives it 
in the pleasantest manner imaginable .—Detroit Daily Union.
