^ St., New Yorlr— Sir: This certifies that I saw the 
Lightning' Cross-Cut Saw, worked by hand, by two men 
November 2d; at this Fair. Said men and saw cut off a 
sound 8x9 inch chestnut log in 3^ seconds; and 10 cuts 
of same, continuously , in 2 minutes and 18 seconds, or at a 
rate of a cord of wood in less than nine minutes. I am sat¬ 
isfied tliat for all purposes of cross-cutting large and small 
timber, your cross-cuts and wood saws have no rival in 
speed, in ease, and in simplicity. I believe their universal 
use would save a vast amount of money and time, and lighten 
the toil of millions of men.—J. W. Blake, Superintendent 
and Engineer American Institute Fair.

GARDENING 
FOR THE SOUTH; 
OR, HOW TO GROW 
VEGETABLES AM) FRUITS. 
BY THE LATE 
WILLIAM N. WHITE, 
OF ATHENS, GA. 
WITH ADDITIONS BY MR. .1. YAN BYRES AND 
DR. .IAS. CAM AK. 
REVISED AND NEWLY STEREOTYPED. 
ILLUSTRATED. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
It supplies a place long vacant in Southern literature, and 
should be in the hands of every man or woman who culti¬ 
vates a foot of ground. Wtiile it treats very freely of the 
vegetable garden, it devotes much space also to fruits, etc. 
Tribune (Mobile, Ala.) 
It is illustrated by a portrait of the' author, and numerous 
engravings of.subjects treated. It is a work of 450 pages, 
and is a complete manual of kitchen gardening and fruit 
culture.—' Telegraph (Macon,' Ga.) 
Mr. White was prime authority in.his specialty, and this 
volume is a complete manual for gardening for Southern 
latitudes. -Besides-the usual fruits arid vegetables of North¬ 
ern gardens, there are full'instruct.ions as to the culture of 
the almond,. fig, orange, lemon, shaddock, olive, yam, 
ground-nut, Madeira nut, and pistachio. In view of the ris¬ 
ing importance of '‘truck farming” in the South to supply 
Northern markets with early vegetables and.fruit, this hook 
is quite important to the gardeners of either section.— 
Register (Wheeling! W. Va.) 
■Coming from the pen of an experienced cultivator of 
Southern vegetables and fruits, the reader, whether of old 
or recent residence, is put in possession of facts relating to 
the soil, climate, and varieties of plants adapted to the 
South that would otherwise req.nire.much time and expense 
to acquire. The vineyard and orchard receive sufficient 
attention to furnish all the necessary information for the 
beginner. We regard the.book as especially adapted for the 
private garden, and if a copy could be placed in tlie hands 
of every farmer, we might expect, ou our visits to the coun¬ 
try, to be regaled upon something else than “bacon and 
greens.”—Doily State Journal. 
Tlie first edition of this work appeared in 1856, but the 
second, now just issued, is much enlarged, containing 444 
pages. It embraces a much larger range of topics than the 
title indicates, and is one of tlie most valuable compilations 
of facts that we have anywhere seen in a single volume, re¬ 
lating to different kinds of soil, and their adaptation to dif¬ 
ferent kinds of fruit and vegetables.— Journal of Agricul¬ 
ture (St. Louis, Mo.) 
Tlie book itself we can commend to our farmers and gar¬ 
deners. Its author was formerly connected with the 
“ Southern Agriculturist;” a most excellent farmers’ paper, 
and was thoroughly acquainted with the wants of the 
Southern people in respect to tlieir farming and gardening 
operations.— Gazette and Banner. 
A complete gardening book for the localities which it 
specifies. It is full and comprehensive, and written in a 
clear, perspicuous style. A volume of 444 pages, well 
printed and bound. — Republican'(St. Louis, Mo.) 
It is very comprehensive, embracing all the improved 
kinds of fruits and vegetables, and tlie modern modes and 
implements of tillage. Its arrangement is systematic, and 
entirely convenient foi' prompt, reference. It is illustrated 
by a large number of drawings relating to garden and fruit 
cultivation, such as trailing, grafting, draining, transplant¬ 
ing, together with pictures of novel fruits and vegetables.—

Gardening for Profit 
In the Market and Family Garden. 
By Peter Henderson. 
ILLUSTRATED. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
All the vegetables that thrive in the open air in our 
latitude are described, together with the best methods 
for growing them. The author also imparts practical 
instructions on the subjects of drainage, and the forma¬ 
tion and management of hot-beds. Numerous well-ex¬ 
ecuted wood-cuts tend to make clearer the instructions oi 
the author . — Philadelphia Inquirer. 
The author of this treatise is one of the bestr known 
and most successful of those gardeners who supply New 
York with green vegetables ; and as he writes from long,;: 
and dear-bought experience, the'positive, dogmatic tone 
he often assumes is by no means unbecoming. The book! 
itself is intended to bo a guide for beginners embarking 
in the author’s business, and gives full and explicit direc-| 
tions about all the operations connected with market- 
gardening, lists of varieties of the most profitable vege¬ 
tables, and much sound advice on kindred topics. Though 
designed for a special class, it can not fail to he valuable 
to the amateur and private gardener, and unlucky experi¬ 
ence has taught us that the information contained in a 
single chapter would have been worth to us the price of 
the book .—Daily Mercury (New Bedford). 
It is unquestionably the most thorough and the best 
work of its kind we have yet had from the pen of an 
American author. It is written in a clear, concise style, 
and thus made more comprehensive than works which 
smack more of the office than the farm or garden. 
[Daily Evening Times'^ Bangor, Me.). 
•Mr. Henderson writes from knowledge, and is not one 
of those amateur cultivators whose potatoes cost them 
ten dollars a bushel, and whose eggs ought to he as 
valuable as those of that other member of their family— 
the goose of golden-egg-laying memory — for they are all 
but priceless. No; he is a practical man, and he has the I 
art of imparting the knowledge he possesses in a very j 
agreeable manner; and he kas brought together an ex-; 
traordinary amount of useful matter in a small volume, j 
which those who would “garden for profit” ought to I 
study carefully . — Evening Traveller (Boston). 
There are marvels of transformation and rapid repro¬ 
duction 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 him¬ 
self rich by market-gardening plainly tells our young 
men how they can get rich as easily as he did. and with¬ 
out wandering to California or Montana for it either. 
[Horace Greeley in the A 7 . Y. Tribune, 
We have devoted more space to this little work than 
we usually do to tomes much more pretentious. We have 
done so because of the rare merits of tlie hook in its' 
fund of information, useful to the farmer and market- 
gardener, arid because of the dearth of that kind of 
knowledge. We earnestly advise lhat fraternity, for' 
whom this work was written, to buy it and study it. If 
any among them have never yet read a book, let this lie 
tlieir primer, and we will vouch for the excellence and 
endurance of the priming. The work is profusely illus¬ 
trated with wood-cuts .—Louisville Daily Journal.
