THE FLORISTS' MANUAL. 



Pleasant Hill, Mo. 



Mr. Scott's superb work, "The Florists' 

 Manual," was Indeed worth waiting for. Wh.-ii 

 compared with the amount ot practical Infor- 

 Tnation It contains, the selling price, $5.U0, 

 seems a mere bagatelle.

No progressive fiorlst. old or young, can 

 afford to be without the Florists' Manual. 

 Tho old fiorlst needs it, for reference, to aid 

 a defective memory, and the young florist 

 wants it as a guide In this progressive era of 

 the Horlsts' business. J. T. TEMPLE.

 h;tve. jiH the years rolled by, become to a 

 greali.-r or less extent obsolete, owing to the 

 continued mutability In methods, etc.. so 

 that the Manual containing, as It dues, matter 

 which Is strictly up-to-date, and thoroughly 

 practical, should meet with a ready accei>- 

 tatice among all engaged In the industry u!)on 

 which It treats. The caliber of Mr. Scott's 

 instructions, in matters horticultural. Is loo 

 well known to the trade to recfuire any elabo- 

 ration at our hands; suffice it to say that 

 the same soundness ot doctrine, and master, 

 ful handling ot every subject dealt with, gen- 

 erally characterizes the text of the book now 



discussed, and. as regards plants, largely 

 those of commercial value, the staples of the 

 trade receiving greatest attention.— Florists-

 Scott's long and varied experience, "from 

 selling a bunch ot violets over the counter 

 to planting a tree or seeding a lawn or build- 

 ing a greenhouse," cannot but throw out 

 many hints of value- to any one interested In 

 any line of horticulture or flower gardening.
