PRACTICAL HORTICULTURIST.

style, instructions on three distinct although closely con¬ 
nected branches of gardening—the kitchen-garden, market- 
garden, and field culture; the only and sufficient credentials

experience for a term of years.

Gardening for Profit 
In the Market and Family G-arden. 
By Peter Henderson. 
ILLUSTRATED. 
NOTICES BY THT5 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 liot-bede. Numerous well-ex¬ 
ecuted wood-cuts tend to make clearer the instructions ot 
the author .—Philadelphia Inquirer. 
The author of this treatise is one of the best 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 
lie often assumes is by no means unbecoming. The book 
itself is intended to he a gnido 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 the most profitable vege¬ 
tables, and much sound advice on kindred topics. Though 
designed for a special class, it can not fail to be 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 aB 
valuable as those of that other member of their family— 
the goose of golden-egg-laying memory—for they are all 
hut priceless. No; he is a practical man, and he has the 
art of imparting the knowledge he possesses in a very 
agreeable manner; and he has brought together an ex¬ 
traordinary amount of useful matter in a small volume, 
which those who would “garden for profit” ought to- 
study carefully.—Alenins' 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.. 
Thero is no theory about it; a man who has made him¬ 
self rich by market-gardening plainly tells onr 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 N. Y. Tribune. 
We have devoted more space to this little work than 
we usually do to tomes much more pretentions. We have 
done so because of the rare merits of the hook in its 
fund of information, useful to the farmer and market- 
gardener, and because of the dearth of that kind of 
knowledge. We earnestly advise that fraternity, for 
whom this work was written, to bny 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.
