Abstract
METHODS and results are what amateur gardeners, cottagers, and allotment-holders want, and this is the book to supply their need in regard to the culture of vegetables. Theirs not the ambition to ask the reason why, but merely to know exactly what to do in order to reap rich fruits of their industry. Very admirably does the author impart this kind of information. In concise language he describes the best methods to be followed in the preparation and after-treatment of the soil, the best varieties of the various classes of vegetables, and the best systems of cultivation. Both the text and the illustrations are instructive, and together they make up a sound and serviceable primer for gardeners.
