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 23d, 1S74. 
“ 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 fe ;t sash, and enjoy my¬ 
self as I never did before. Again 1 thank him.”
