Riassunto

Floral and Vegetable departments of Horticulture, in which I have been engaged for the past eighteen years, I have been eminently successful. Now, we know, that success only is the test of good generalship, and it follows that, having been successful, I have thus earned my title to merit. From this standpoint, I claim the right to attempt the instruction of the student of horticulture in the tactics of that field. We have very few works, either agricultural or horticultural, by American authors, whose writers are practical men, and fewer still of these who are men that have risen from the ranks. The majority of such authors being exeditors, lawyers, merchants, etc., men of means and education, who, engaging in the business as a pastime, in a year or two generously conclude to give the public the benefit of their experience an experience, perhaps, that has been confined to a city lot, when the teachings were of the garden, or of a few acres in the suburbs, when the teachings were of the farm.
