THE FLORISTS' MANIAL, 



byWM. SCOTT. 



Is a book of 224 large pages (same size as those of the Florists' Review) and contains about 200 articles on commercial 

 plants and cultural operations, each giving " the meat " only, from the personal experience of a thoroughly practical 

 man who Is in daily touch with each deoartment of the business, and who has that rare quality of being able to tell 

 others what they want to know. The articles are arranged alphabetically, like those in an encyclopaedia, and in 

 an instant one can turn to the subject upon which light is desired at the moment. The book is illustrated by over 200 

 fine half-tone engravings. It is 



A Complete Reference Book for Commercial Florists 



and is a whole library on practical commercial floriculture in one volume. It is very handsomely and substantially 

 bound in half leather, with specially designed title in gold. Following we print a few extracts from letters received 

 from buyers of the book :

 wish to aay that we consider it without equal 

 as a book of reference for busy florists.

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

 Manual," was indeed worth waiting for. When 

 compared with the amount of practical infor- 

 mation it contains, the selling iirice, $5.00, 

 seems a mere bagatelle. 



Oakland. Md. H. WEBER & SONS. 



It is the best book of the kind ever pub- 

 lished. There is more in it than in any other 

 book I have ever seen. I am delighted with it. 



Chicago. JOHN THORPE. 



No progressive florist, old or young:, can
