IN THE MARKET AND FAMILY GARDEN. 
\ 
BY PETER HENDERSON. 
Illustrated. 
This is the first work on Market Gardening ever pub¬ 
lished in this country. Its author is well known as a 
market gardener of eighteen years’ successful experience. 
In this work he has recorded this experience, and given 
without reservation the methods necessary to the profita¬ 
ble culture of the commercial or 
MAHICET GJ-.AJES,I>EIsr. 
It is a work for which there has long been a demand, 
and one which will' commend itself, not only to those 
who grow vegetables for sale, hut to the cultivator of the 
FAMIEY GARDEN 
To whom it presents methods quite different from the 
old ones generally practiced. It is an 
ORIGINAL AND PURELY AMERICAN 
work, and not made np, as bo oks on gardening too often 
are, hy quotations from foreign authors. 
Everything is made perfectly plain, and the subject 
treated in all its details, from the selection of the soil to 
preparing the products for market. Erames, Hot-heds, 
and Forcing Houses, the management of which is usually 
so troublesome to the novice, are fully described, and the 
conditions of success and causes of failure clearly stated. 
The success of the market gardeners-near New York 
City is proverbial, and this is the only work that sets forth 
the means hy which this success has been attained. Val¬ 
uable hints are given to those who would r«”’—Vegetable# 
at the South for northern markets.

scope of the work :

Working Force per Acre.
