double columned Pages.
This edition has been greatly altered from the onginal. Many articles of little interest to Americans
h.-ive been curuiiled or wholly omitted, and much m:\\ mailer, with numerous illuslniliiins,
added especially wilh respect to the variutirs of fruit wluilj ..v|K-iifiic.> has shown to be pecuharly
adapted to our climate. Still, the eilitnr admits that he has only fullcwed in the path so admirably
nrirkcd out by Mr J..lms.)ii, to whorn llie rliicf iiirrit of llie wuik bilungs. It lias been an object
with the editor aiul [lublislicis to iiic-rcase its popular oharacler, tberrby adapting it to the larger
class of iiortirulninil nailers in this ruuiitry. and they trust it will prove what they have desired It
to be ail t;ncyrloi);i'dia of tlardeiimg, if not of Rural Alfairs, so condensed and ut such a price as to
be wilhin reach of nearly all whom those subjects interest.
" This is a useful compendium of all that description of information which is valuable to the
modem gardener. It quotes largely from the best standard authors, journals, and tran.saclions of
societies- and the labours of the American editor have fitted it for the United States, by judicious
additions and omissions. The volume is abundantly illustrated with hgures in the text, cmbraiaiig
a judicious selection of those varieties of fruits which experience has shown to be well suited to the
United Slates.— SilliTnan's Journal.
" This is the most val liable work we have ever seen on the subject of gardening and no man ;
of
taste who can devote even a quarter of an acre to horticulture ought to be without it. Indeed ladies
who merely cultivate flowers mthin-doors, will find this book an excellent and conveuient
counsellor It contains one hundred and eighty wood-cut lUustrations, which give a distinct idea
.
of the fruits and garden-arrangements they are intended to represent.
" Johnson's Dictionan' of Gardening, edited by Landreth, is handsomely pnnted. well-bound, ami
gold at a price wluch puts it witliin the reach of all who would be hkcly to buy it."— Evergreen.
