The only f^iull to !)<■ round witli il 

 is when you get reading it the mid- 

 night oil is lial)lp to run low and you 

 have to go on to gas or rehiitantly 

 hreak off, either going to bed or lirst 

 taking a look over the houses to see 

 if the temperature tallies with the 

 Manual. OEO. fl. OSHORN.

Mr. Scott's supei'l) work, '"I'lie 

 Florists' Manual," was indeed W(nlh 

 wailing for. When eomijared with the 

 amount of praeliial infornuition it con- 

 tains, the selling price. $5.00, seems a 

 mere bagatelle.

Am much pleased -with the Maniuil. 

 It is just what I have been looking

 stand, and enjoy reading.

Enclosed find $5.00 in payment for 

 the copy of the Florists' Manual. No 

 progressive florist, old or young, can 

 afford to be without the Florists' Man- 

 nual. The old florist needs it. for ref- 

 erence, to aid a defective memory, and 

 the young florist wants it as a guide 

 in this progressive era of the florist's 

 business. J. T. TEMPLE.
