Preface.

Though embracing all the directions neces­sary for the successful management of a Vege­table Garden, the present volume is offered to the public as a manual, or guide, to assist in the selection of varieties rather than as a treatise on cultivation. Through the standard works of American authors, as well as by means of the numerous agricultural and horticultural periodicals of our time, all information of im­portance relative to the various methods of propagation and culture, now in general prac­tice, can be readily obtained.

The Field and Garden Vegetables of America:

Containing full descriptions of nearly eleven hundred species and varieties; with directions for propagation, culture, and use; illustrated.
