It is not too much to say that this book gives the most complete
information on the successful growing of these important crops that
has ever been published. The prize essays, carefully edited, are
published in full, and are written by growers of long experience--Capt.
G. H. HOWARD, of Suffolk County, L. I., well known as one of the most
successful and largest growers of Cauliflower and Cabbage in America,
and by Mr. J. PEDERSEN (BJERGAARD), of Denmark, a well-known writer
and grower. To these is added an appendix that will interest our lady
friends, giving, as it does, the recipes for cooking these vegetables,
furnished for this book by Mr. S. J. SOYER, Chief Cook to His Majesty,
the King of Denmark. The book treats fully on:--

Greedy Feeder--Manures--Planting and Cultivation--Insects--Early

than Cabbage and Cauliflower, and with this “How to Grow” Treatise
success is reasonably assured.
