GARDENING FOR PROFIT

In the Market and Family Garden.

BY PETER HENDERSON.

FINELY ILLUSTRATED.

This is the first work on Market Gardening ever published in this country.
Its author is well known as a market gardener of eighteen years'
successful experience. In this work he has recorded this experience, and
given, without reservation, the methods necessary to the profitable
culture of the commercial or

MARKET GARDEN.

It is a work for which there has long been a demand, and one which will
commend itself, not only to those who grow vegetables for sale, but to the
cultivator of the

FAMILY GARDEN,

to whom it presents methods quite different from the old ones generally
practiced. It is an ORIGINAL AND PURELY AMERICAN work, and not made up, as
books on gardening too often are, by quotations from foreign authors.

Every thing is made perfectly plain, and the subject treated in all its
details, from the selection of the soil to preparing the products for
market.
