Gardening for Profit. 
A. Guide to the Successful Cultivation of 
the Market and Family Garden. 
By PETER HENDERSON. 
Finely Illustrated. Price, Post-paid, SI.50. 
The following voluntary notice of this hook comes from 
a Western market gardener and shipper of vegetables, and 
Is a specimen of similar testimony from very many quarters. 
"March 23d, 1874. 
“If this should go to Mr. Henderson, I would say that I 
believe the gardeners of tills country would gladly bail 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.”

IN MY GARDEN. 
By E. P. ROE, 
Author of '■'■Barriers Burned Away," etc. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
The author takes us to his garden on the rocky hill-sides in 
the vicinity of West Point and shows us how out of it, after 
four years’ experience, lie evoked a profit of $1,000, and tills 
while carrying on pastoral and literary labors.It 
is very rare that so much literary taste and skill are mated 
to so much agricultural experience and practical good sense. 
—Harper's Magazine. 
This book is as poetical as it is practical. Still he is no 
dreamer. He goes into every essential detail witli as much 
minuteness and precision as if he were writing a manual for 
the practical farmer. Indeed few works professedly de¬ 
voted to agriculture give more sound and valuable informa¬ 
tion on the secret of winning golden harvests from the soil 
than this brief idyllic sketch.— N. Y. Tribune. 
A very charming book, not only by reason of its pleasant 
style, but for its quiet refined humor and fund of really use¬ 
ful information on the subject of gardening.— Boston Gazette. 
It deserves to stand side by side with “My Summer in a 
Garden.”— Christian Hegister. 
A fresh, lively work.— N. Y. Observer. 
One reads without weariness and learns much of practical 
value.— Chicago Evening Journal. 
Full of information. Explains just what the reader wishes 
to know. We most heartily commend it.— Providence Even¬ 
ing Press. 
A chatty, sensible, profitable book.— Cleveland Herald. 
The book gives much valuable information, and gives it 
in the pleasantest manner imaginable.— Detroit Daily Union.
