The Commissioners of Parks and Boulevards 

 some time since directed that a library be 

 started of ' such "■ books as deal with subjects 

 pertaining to park work, and to that end an 

 order has been given for a number of books, 

 among which is your ••The Florists' Manual." 



After reading this book carefully, I am 

 greatly pleased, and wish to congratulate you 

 on the practical manner with which you have 

 treated the subject.

From advance sheets of the Florists' Man- 

 ual, kindly sent us by the publishers, as well 

 as from those which have appeared from time 

 to time in the trade press, we have formed an 

 idea of the general scope and usefulness of 

 Mr. Scott's book, and we now hail with a 

 great deal of satisfaction the work as a com- 

 pleted whole. Several handbooks of a more

 the same soundness of doctrine, and master- 

 ful handling of every subject dealt with, gen- 

 erally characterizes the text of the book now 

 before us. Nearly 200 individual items are 

 discussed, and, as regards plants, largely 

 those of commercial value, the staples of the 

 trade receiving greatest attention.— Florists'

 The comparatively small index confronting

 but as the purpose of the author is more 

 clearly, brought to light, it is better appreci- 



most desirable and profitable things to handle 

 —a condensation which many will enjoy. Many

 and contains about 200 articles on commercial plants and cultural oper- 

 ations, each giving "the meat" only, from the personal experience of a 

 thoroughly practical man who is in daily touch with each department of 

 the business and who has that rare quality of being able to tell others what 

 they want to kuow. The articles are arranged alphabetically, like those 

 in an encyclopedia, and in an instant one can turn to the subject upon which 

 light is desired at the moment. The book is illustrated by over 20o fine half- 

 tone engravings. It is
