WINDOW GARDEN. 
By PETER HENDERSON, 
AUTHOR OF “GARDENING FOR PROFIT,” AND “PRAC¬ 
TICAL FLORICULTURE.” 
ILLUSTRATED. 
The remarkable sale, unprecedented in the history of 
works upon the same subjects, which the two previous 
books by the same author have had,indicates (lie estimate 
placed upon his contributions to Gardening and Flori¬ 
culture. In his Introduction to the present work, Mr. 
Henderson says“ I have endeavored in writing ‘ Gar¬ 
dening for Pleasure,’ to divest it, as far as I was compe¬ 
tent to do so, of the technical terms and phrases which 
professional gardeners use in writing or talking on mat¬ 
ters relating to horticulture ; and to use the plainest lan¬ 
guage at my command in describing the simplest meth¬ 
ods of culture. Whether I have succeeded in making 
the subject as clear as I have desired to do, those who 
read the work must decide. 
“ My aim in writing the hook was to make it such as 
would ho useful to the occupant of a city lot, or to the 
possessor of a few window plants, as well as to the owner 
of a country residence that is fully appointed in all mat 
ters relating to the cultivation of flowers, fruits, and 
vegetables. The necessity for such a hook has been 
made evident to me by the enquiries from hundreds of 
amateurs in gardening; inquiries to many of wfiich 
neither of my previous works, (‘Gardening for Profit,’ or' 
‘Practical Floriculture,’) furnished proper replies; the 
dim being written mainly for information of tiie vegetable 
lfuirket gardener,and' the other for the commercial florist.
