A New and Revised Edition of Peter 
Henderson’s well-known Work, 
Gardening for Profit. 
A Guide to tlie Successful Cultivation of 
tlie Market and Family Garden* 
By PETER HENDERSON. 
Finely Illustrated. Price, Post-paid, SI.50. 
The following voluntary notice of this work comes from 
a Western market gardener and shipper of vegetables, and 
is a specimen of similar testimony from very many quarters. 
“ March 23rf, 18T4. 
“If this should go to Mr. Henderson, I would say that I 
believe the gardeners of this country would gladly hail an¬ 
other edition of‘Gardening for Profit;’ at least, I thank 
him for that little work. Through its influence I left a pay¬ 
ing manufacturing business and began to follow its teach¬ 
ings. This was three years ago. Now I have a market 
garden of thirty acres and 400 four-feet sash, and enjoy my¬ 
self as I never did before. Again I thank him.”

JOHN 
AND ROSS. 
BY 
REBECCA HARDING DAVIS, 
i uthor of “Life in the Iron Mills," “Dallas Gal¬ 
braith," etc., etc. 
ILLIJST XI ATED. 
Tlie genius of George Eliot finds not only a peer, but 
‘li many points a counterpart in that of Mrs. Rebecca 
Harding Davis. Tlie resemblance between tiiese two 
teems a growing one, and as “John Andross” unfolds 
Itself more and more, the points of similarity between it 
mid the best of George Eliot’s work become more and 
more strongly marked. Not that “ John Andross” is in 
any sense an imitation, or its author in any sense an 
imitator. Tlie similarity is not sameness ; the resem¬ 
blance is by no means a likeness. In “ John Andross” 
we find the same boldness of touch, the same conscious¬ 
ness of strength, that delight ns in every page of “ Mid¬ 
dleman*.” Tlie two authors are alike in the confidence 
with which they discard all models and become a law 
unto themselves. There is no resemblance whatever 
between the people created by tlie one and those who 
serve the purposes of the other, except that the person¬ 
ages of each are undoubted originals always. Tlie 
machinery by which Mrs. Davis brings her people before 
us, and shows us what manner of men they are, is totally 
unlike that which George Eliot nses, and their plots re¬ 
semble each other in nothing except in their utter unlike* 
ness to any others in Hie world, their entire originality, 
and their unusual fitness to serve the ends for which 
they are created. 
Another point of resemblance between the two writers 
is the masterly knowledge each seems to have, from first 
to last, of the peculiarities of character which underlie 
the actions of her people. The weakness of Andross’s 
chin is as necessary a part of him as the chin itself is. 
Ilis irresolution ; his honesty of purpose, and his in¬ 
ability to make it honesty of practice ; his desire for 
good, and his choice of evil; liis sudden elevations and 
depressions of spirit; his vacillation ; all these and tlie 
character of which they are horn are open secrets to 
Mrs. Davis. She makes no analysis of character, and 
tells us nothing about tlie mental and moral muscles 
which her personages bring into piav. She simply holds 
her lens before our eyes, and her people become trans¬ 
parent. We see for ourselves how they are made up, and 
we see the several parts in actual play before us.
