THE DOMESTIC GARDENER’S MANUAL; being an Introduction to Practical Gardening, on Philosophical Principles; to which is added, a NATURALIST’S KALENDAR, and an Appendix on the Operations of Forcing, including the Culture of Vines in Pots.  By JOHN TOWERS, C.M.H.S.  Second Edition, Enlarged and Improved.  One large Volume, Octavo.

Most of the works on gardening which have come under my observation, are not only expensive, but appear to have been written almost exclusively for the affluent;—­for those who possess, or can afford to possess, all the luxuries of the garden.  We read of the management of hot-houses, green-houses, forcing-houses; of nursery-grounds, shrubberies, and other concomitants of ornamental gardening.  Now, although it is acknowledged that many useful ideas may be gathered from these works, still it is obvious that they are chiefly written for those whose rank in life enables them to employ a chief gardener and assistants, qualified for the performance of the many operations required in the various departments of large gardens.  As I profess to have a very different object in view, I address this book to those, who, without aiming to become professional gardeners, wish, nevertheless, to acquire so much of the art of Gardening as shall enable them to conduct its more common and essential operations with facility and precision.
