AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST, 
1872 .] 
READ THE NEW BOOK 
ON 
Farm -Gardening 
AND 
SEED - GROWING. 
BY FRANCIS BRILL. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
Orange Judd & Co.have added to their splendid catalogue 
of agricultural books “Farm-Gardening and Seed-Grow¬ 
ing,” by Francis Brill; it is practical, plain, complete, and 
satisfactory, so that for a small amount of money a great 
deal of desirable information can be obtained. If there is 
any firm anywhere which is to-day disseminating so much 
knowledge in regard to tilling of the soil as this same said 
iirm of Orange Judd & Co., we will present a medal to our 
informer.— Watchman and Reflector (Boston). 
The want occasionally expressed to us of a work on the 
cognate subjects above named (Farm-Gardening and Seed- 
Growing), is now met in a book under this title from the 
pen of Mr. Francis Brill, formerly a market-gardener and 
seed-grower at Newark, N. J., and at present engaged in 
raising seeds at Mattituck, L. I. Its directions are concise 
and practical, covering those points on which a beginner is 
most likely to require information.— Country Gentleman. 
Mr. Brill has had large experience, and derived bis knowl¬ 
edge wholly from the school of actual tests.— Chicago 
Evening Journal. 
We have In this volume the results of a practical man’s 
experience in raising root crops and other vegetables In the 
market-garden. Not only the professional seed-grower and 
trucker, but the amateur gardener who has a little patch in 
his suburban home, will find many a valuablo hint and di¬ 
rection in this full and comprehensive manual .—Suiulag 
School Times. 
It seems to be a very sensible, practical work by a practi¬ 
cal man. Mr. Brill’s father was a gardener; and he himself 
lias had an extensive experience, and be talks about what 
lie knows, which is more than can be said of many authors of 
industrial works.— Moore's Rural Neui Yorker. 
There can be no question that this farm-gardening can be 
made in many districts of the Southern Atlantic States, es¬ 
pecially near the coast, far more profitable than growing the 
ordinary staple crops. In connection with producing the 
vegetables, the growing and saving their seeds receive 
minute attention .—American Farmer (Baltimore). 
A very useful hand-book, not merely for farmers and 
growers of seed on an extensive scale, but for all who, whe¬ 
ther for recreation or for the purpose of supplying their own 
families with garden products, desire to know something 
about the adaptation of seed to soil and the mode of culture. 
— Church Journal (New York). 
. This industry is now occupying the attention of many per¬ 
sons who sell their products to the great seed-houses, and 
novices who have the facilities, and wish to enter upon the 
business, will find in this book just the hints needed.— 
Springfield Republican. 
Mr. Brill has been a successful farm-gardener and seed- 
grower for a number of years, and gives in a clear and con¬ 
cise form the knowledge he has gained.It gives the 
best method of manuring, planting, and cultivating every 
vegetable sold in markets—in short, everything required to 
be known, plainly and fully—and should be in the hands of 
every one who cultivates so much as a rod of land, for 
family use, pleasure, or profit .—Suffolk (L. I.) Times. 
The seal of Orange Judd & Co. upon an agricultural pub¬ 
lication is sulllcicnt guarantee of its worth. Francis Brill’s 
book, published by them, is a very complete work, giving 
plain, minute instructions as to raising, taking care of, and 
bringing to market those vegetables which arc most in de¬ 
mand in the large cities, and those seeds which arc being 
called for throughout the country.—,V. Y. Evening Mail. 
The work of showing how this can be accomplished has 
fallen in good hands, and it has been done well. The book 
will well repay perusal, and wc hope soon to see its good 
effects in a more intelligent direction of farm industry, and 
accompanied by more satisfactory pecuniary results.—TVie 
Signal (L. I.) 
To the market-gardener, or even the owner of a small 
piece of tillable land, this book will be of great value. 
Qualities of soil required for the growth of different vegeta- i 
hies, how to plant,how to cultivate, to harvest, and preserve 
during winter.—,Y }'. Citizen and Round Table.
