This is the first work on Market Gardening over pub- 
lished^in this coontrj'. Its author is woli known as a 
market gardener of eighteen years’ snccessfnl experience. 
In this work he has recorded this experience, and given 
withont reservation the methods necessary to the profita¬ 
ble coltoro of the commercial or 
o.vudetst. 
It is a work for which there Iras long been a demand, 
and one which will commend itself, not only to those 
who grow vegetables for sale, but to the cultivator of the 
rA.^IEY C.VBDICN 
To whom it prosents methods quite different from the 
old ones generally practiced. It is an 
ORIGINAL AND PURELY AMERICAN 
work, and not made up, ns books on gardening too often 
arc, by quotations from foreign authors. 
Everything Is made perfectly plain, and tlie subject 
treated in ali its details, from the selection of tjie soil to 
preparing the products for market. Frames, Ilot-bcds, 
and Forcing Iloascs, the management of which is usually 
Eo troublesome to the novice, arc fully dcscrilnid, and tho 
conditions of success and causes of failure clearly stated. 
Tho success of the market gardeners near New York
