Abstract
As a work of reference it will be very valuable, for it contains well-arranged details of some of the more important crops under cultivation, and the information is well and systematically arranged. Care has been taken in each case to secure a complete but still a concise statement, which is sufficient to guide the cultivator in all the specialities of management necessary to secure successful results. A good drawing illustrates each crop treated of, and its several cultivated varieties, and with these we have carefully-prepared descriptions of each plant in succession, and its general history. The districts within which the cultivation can be successfully extended are also set forth with great clearness and precision. For accuracy of details, in a very accessible form, this work leaves little to be desired.
