Gardening for Profit. 
A Guide to tlic Successful Cultivation of 
tlie market, and Family Garden. 
By PETER HESDERSON, 
Finely Illustrated. Priee, Post-paid, §1.50. 
The success of. this book has probably not been equaled 
by that of any horticultural work of the present day. Its 
popularity is due to the fact that it tells just what people 
wish to know—the way in which the, author made money hy 
gardening—and puts in a plain, striking light all the requi¬ 
sites to success. The writer was not afraid to have people 
know that he cullivated his land for profit, and, more than 
'that, he was quite willing that all should know and practice, 
if they chose, the very processes which lie had found most 
conducive to the desired end. The late Horace Greeley said 
of tills book: "There are marvels of transformation and 
rapid reproduction recorded therein which might well 
shame the dull fancy of the author of Aladdin or of Kaloolah. 
There is no theory about it; a man who lias made himself 
rich by market-gardening plainly tells our young men how 
they can get rich as easily as he did, and without wandering 
to California or Montana for it either.” And tens of thou¬ 
sands who have read and profited by the work could give 
similar testimony. It is unquestionably the most thorough 
and the best book of its kind that has yet come from the 
hand of an American author. 
Practical Floriculture, 
A Guide to tire' Successful Propagation and 
Cultivation of Florists’ Plants. 
33y IP JETER. HENDERSON, 
Author of “ Gardening for Profit.” 
Beautifully Illustrated. Price , Post-paid, $1.50. 
In this work, which lias everywhere become so deservedly 
popular, not only is the whole “ art and mystery ” of propa¬ 
gation explained; but the reader is taught how to plant and 
grow the plants after they have been propagated. The work 
is not one for florists and gardeners only, b.ut the amateur’s 
wants are constantly kept in mind, and we have a very com¬ 
plete treatise on the cultivation of flowers under glass, or 
in the open air, suited to those who grow flowers for plea¬ 
sure ns well as those who make them a matter of trade. 
The work is characterized by the 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 apparatus has been thoroughly tested two years, lias given entire satisfaction, and its use is 
rapidly extending wherever it is known. 
WITH THE AMERICAN FRUIT-DRIER 
Surplus fruit of every kind, and also that which from over-ripeness or inferior size or quality is unfit 
for marketing in the unprepared state, can all be converted into a marketable commodity, which from 
its excellence will command the highest price. Such fruit as is prepared bj’ this means is now selling 
in this city at an average of fifty per cent more than ordinary dried fruit. 
NO MORE CAWS WEEDED. 
In preserving fruit, the end to be gained is to retain the sweetness and flavor permanently. The 
canning process was a great advance on the old-fashioned “ pound-for-pound ” way of making preserves, 
hut in the necessary steaming process there is loss of valuable constituents of the fruit, much of which 
is avoided ty the new method. More than this, experiment proves that hy this latter process the fruit 
is increased in sweetness by the change" of its starch into glucose or fruit-sugar. In other words, while 
passing through the Drier it is ripened more fully. Fruit so prepared requires one quarter to one third 
less sugar to prepare it for the table than is needed for canned'fruit. Other manifest advantiHes over 
the canning system are: TLis-ss 'ITvosuMe in ©pei’Jititig; ©enlsiisaty of Sleeping’ ; No

TUB IE AMEISICAi^i is so simple in plan and in working, that any 
carpenter can make it, and any ordinary laborer operate it. Its capacity can lie adapted to small or large 
operations. The ordinary family size, No. 1, will in favorable weather dry apples as fast as two persons 
can prepare the fruit. The cost is so moderate, that every farmer can profitably buy it to save the 
surplus product of liis orchard or fruit-yard. 
Having formed a company under the name and style of the American Drier Company, we are 
prepared to furnish Driers to agents and others in the United States for the season of 1873, in three 
different sizes, viz.: 
Mo. 1, 24 inches wide and J2 feet long, $25.00. 
Wo. 2, 30 inches wide and 14 feet long, $35.00. 
Wo. 3, 36 inches wide and 16 feet Song, $45.00. 
The above are the factory prices, all complete except stove—delivered at the freight or express 
office, London, Pa. Any common nine or ten-plate or any other kind of wood or coal stove can be used. 
Printed directions for setting up and operating sent with eacli machine. 
No. 1 is a convenient size for general use, and will dry all the surplus fruit on any ordinary farm, 
drying as fast as two hands can hand-pare and cut the fruit. 
No. 3 will give employment to four hands. 
[gf“ For fruit-growers in the fruit districts we make a series of Driers to do any given amount of 
work, ranging in price from $100 to $500. 
Portable Driers with sheet-iron stoves all ready to operate, and exhibition models for agents, fur¬ 
nished to order; prices according to size, style, and finish. 
U3P” Furnaces and steam-heaters for large Driers furnished at the lowest rates. 
Samples of fruits and vegetables dried in the American Drier sent by mail or express, prepaid, on 
receipt of 25 cents. 
We also invite the attention of manufacturers of various articles which require drying, to the com¬ 
bination of principles embraced in the American Drier patent claims. By special mechanical arrange¬ 
ments it may he adapted—on a large scale—to various purposes, such as drying grain, hops, herbs, 
chemicals, paper, straw-boards-, lumber, and for drying and curing beef, pork, fish, etc.., etc. 
Agents wanted to introduce and sell the Driers, and the rights to make and use them.

address, inclosing stamp, to the
