Gardening for Profit 
In the Market and Family Garden. 
By Peter Henderson. 
1 FRUSTRATED. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
All the vegetables that thrive in tho open air in onr 
latitnde are described, together with the best methods 
for growing them. Tho 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 ot 
the author.— Philadelphia Inquirer. 
The author of tliia treatise la one of the best known 
and most successful of those gardeners who supply New 
York with green vegetables; and as he writes front long 
nnd dear-bought experience, the positive, dogmatic tone 
lie often assumes is 1 y no means unbecoming. The hook 
Itself is intended to he 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 cf varieties of tho most profitable vege¬ 
tables, and much sound advice on kindred topics. Though 
designed for a special class, it can r.ot fail to lie valuable 
to the amateur aud private gardener, and unlucky experi¬ 
ence has taught ns 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 mnde more comprehensive than works which 
smack more of the office than the farm or garden. 
{Daily Evening Times (Bangor, Me.). 
Mr. Ilenderson writes from knowledge, and i3 not one 
of thOBO amateur cultivators whose potatoes cost them 
ten dollars a bushel, aud whose eggs ought to he as 
valuable as those of that other member cf their family— 
the goose cf goldcn-cgg-laying memory—for they arc ail 
but priceless. No; he is a practical man, and he lias the 
art of imparting the knowledge he possesses i:i a very 
agreeable manner; and he has brought together an ex¬ 
traordinary amount cf useful matter in a small volume, 
which those who would “garden for profit” ought to 
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 cf Aladdin or of Kuloolali, 
There is no theory about it; a man who has 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 far it cither. 
[Honicn Greeley in the _V. }*. Tribune. 
We have devoted more space to this little work than 
we usually do to tomes much more pretentious. Vv'e have 
done so because of tho rare merits of the book in it3 
fund of information, useful to the farmer and market- 
gardener, and because cf the dearth cf that kind cf 
knowledge. We earnestly advise that fraternity, fer 
whom this work was written, to buy it and study it. If 
any among them have never yet read a book, let this be 
their 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.

REAR THE NEW BOOK 
ON 
Farm-Gardening

SEED - GEOWIUG. 
BY FRANCIS BRILL. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
Orange Judd & Co. have added to their splendid catalogue 
of agricultural books " Farm-Gardening nnd 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 
firm of Orange Judd & Co., we will present a modal 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 
nnd practical, covering those points on which a beginner is 
most likely to require information.— Country Gentleman. 
Mr. Brill has had large experience, and derived ills knowl¬ 
edge wholly from the school of actual tCBts.— Chicago 
Evenin '/ Journal. 
We have In this volume the results of a practical man's 
experience i:i raising root crops nnd 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 valuable hint nnd di¬ 
rection in tliis full and comprehensive manual.— Sunday- 
School Times. 
It seems to be a very sensible, practical work by a practi¬ 
cal mail. Mr. Brill’s father was a gardener ; and lie himself 
has had an extensive experience, and lie talks about wlmt 
he knows, which is more than can be said of many authors of 
industrial works.— Moore's Rural New Yorker. 
There can be no question that tills farm-gardening can be 
made in many districts of the Southern Atlantic States, es¬ 
pecially near the coast, far more profilable than growing the 
ordinary staple crops. In connection with producing the 
vegetables, the growing and saving their seed3 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 .'or recreation or for tile purpose of supplying their own 
families with garden products, desire to know something 
about the adaptation of seed to soil and tho mode of culture. 
— Church Journal (New York). 
This industry is now occupying the attention of many per¬ 
sons who sell tlieir products to the great seed-houses, and 
novices who have the facilities, and wish to enter upon the 
business, wi'.l find in this book just the hints needed.— 
Springfield Republican. 
Mr. Brill lias been a successful farm-gardener nnd seed- 
grower for a number of years, and gives in a clear and con¬ 
cise form the knowledge lie lias gained.It gives tile 
best method of manuring, planting, and cultivating every 
vegetable sold in markets—ill short, everything required to 
he 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 Cz Co. upon ail agricultural pub¬ 
lication is sufficient guarantee of its worth. Trancis Brill's 
book, published by th ;m, i3 a very complete work, giving 
plain, minute instructions as to raising, taking care of, and 
bringing to market those vegetables which are most in de¬ 
mand in the large cities, and those seeds which arc being 
called for throughout (he country.— N. Y. Evening Mail. 
The work of showing how tills can be. accomplished lias 
fallen ia good hands, nnd it has been done well. The book 
will well repay perusal, and wo hope soon to see its good 
effects in a more intelligent direction of farm industry, nnd 
accompanied by more satisfactory pecuniary results.—77ie 
Signal (L. I.) 
To the market-gardener, or oven the owner of a small 
piece of tillable land, tills book will be of great value. 
Qualities of soil required for the growtli of different vegeta¬ 
bles, how to plant,how to cultivate, to harvest and preserve 
during winter.—„V. Citizen ami Round Table.

NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
It supplies a place long vacant ia Southern literature, and 
should he iu the baud* of every man or woman who cuIU- 
vatesafootof ground. While it treats very freely of the 
vegetable garden. It devotes much space also (o fruits, etc- 
— Tribune (Mobile, Ala.) 
It is illustrated by a portrait of the author, nnd numerous 
engravings of subjects treated. It it a work of 450 pages, 
nnd 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 lor Southern 
latitudes. Besides the usual fruits and vegetables of North- 
ern gardens, there are fall instructions as to the culture of 
the almond, fig, orange, lemon, shaddock, olive, yam, 
ground-nut, Madeira nut, and pistachio. Ia view of the ris¬ 
ing Importance of “truck farming” in the Booth to supply 
Northern markets with early vegetables nnd fruit, tills book 
is qnite important to the gardeners of cither unction.— 
Register (Wheeling, W. Va.) 
Coming from the pen cf an experienced cultivator of 
Southern vegetables and fruits, the reader, whether of old 
or recent residence, is put in possession of tacts relating to 
the soil, climnte, nnd varieties of plants adapted to the 
Couth that would otherwise require much time and expeoso 
to acquire. The vineyard nr.d orchard receive sufficient 
attention to furni h ail the necessary information for tho 
beginner. We regard the book as especially adapted for tho 
private garden, and if a copy ennid bo placed in tile hands 
cf every farmer, we might expert, on our visits to the cotta, 
try, to bo regaled upon something else than “bacon and 
greens.”— Daily Slate Journal. 
The first edition cf thi3 work appeared in !3.'G, but the 
second, now just issued, is much enlarged, containing HI 
pages. It embraces a much larger range of topics than tho 
title indicates, and iJ one cf tho most valuable compilations 
of fact3 that wc have anywhere seen in a single volume, re¬ 
lating to different 1:ind3 of soil, and tlieir adaptation to dif¬ 
ferent kinds of fruit and vegetables.— Journal cf Agricul¬ 
ture (St. Louis, Mo.) 
The book itself are can commend to our farmers trad gtm-' 
doners. Its author was formerly connected with tbs

and was thoroughly acquainted with the wants of the 
Southern people in respect to tlieir farming and gardening 
operations.— Gazette ami Danner.
