The want has long been felt of a trustworthy manual of culture adapted to the United States. English publications on this subject are not to be relied on, as the climate is so different from our own that the rules they give are not applicable to us; they make no provision for the brightness of our sun, the heat of our summer, the dryness of our atmosphere, and the cold of our Winter.
