THE FLORISTS' MANUAL. 



After reading Mr. Wm. Scott's 

 Manual, we wish to Kay that we con- 

 sider it without equal as a book of 

 reference for busy florists. 



GEO. M. KELLOGG. 



Pleasant Hill, Mo. 



Mr. Scott's superb work, "The 

 Florists' Manual," was Indeed worth 

 waiting for. When compared with the 

 amount of practical information it con- 

 tains, the selling price, $5.00, seems a 

 mere bagatelle. 



Oakland, Md. H. WEBER & SONS. 



It Is the best book of the kind ever 

 published. There is more in It than 

 In any other book I have ever seen. I 

 am delighted with it. 



Chicago. JOHN THORPE. 



The copy of the "Florists' Manual" 

 was duly received. I am very well 

 pleased with same. The more I read 

 It the better satisfied I am with It, and 

 there are one or two articles alone In 

 It that are each worth all you ask for 

 the book, for everything Is made so 

 plain and all details are right to the 

 point. I trust you may have a good 

 and ready sale for the same. 



M. S. WORDEN. 



North Adams, Mass. 



The only fault to be found with It 

 is when you get reading It the mid- 

 night oil is liable to run low and you 

 have to go on to gas or reluctantly 

 break oft, either going to bed or first 

 taking a look over the houses to see 

 If the temperature tallies with the 

 Manual. GEO. S. OSBORN. 



Hartford, Conn. 



We are In receipt of "The Florists' 

 Manual" by Mr. Scott and may say it 

 Is the right book for the florist, pub- 

 lished at the right time. It Is what we 

 all need. BOBBINK & ATKINS. 



Rutherford, N. J.

 It Is just what I have been looking

 stand, and enjoy reading.

 ed for a long time. N. ZWEIFEL.

It la certainly a neat and handsome 

 book and does you credit. 



BENJAMIN HAMMOND. 

 Flshklll-on-Hudson, N. Y. 



It Is a work of art and should be In 

 the hands of all live florists. Its use- 

 ful and instructive contents can not 

 fall to be a beneflt to all in the trade.

Milwaukee, Wis. 



The book Is written for the work- 

 ing gardener, and Mr. Scott's reputa- 

 tion is so well secured that he will And 

 among his gardening friends a host of 

 genuine admirers. As a writer on 

 practical gardening subjects, be Is a 

 recognized authority. • • • Mr. 

 Scott has long been an employer and 

 knows what information young gar- 

 deners, or those with little experience, 

 need, and he has his whole subject 

 so perfectly at command that he can 

 give the most desirable and essential 

 Information in the clearest language 

 and with satisfactory brevity. The 

 book is a distinct and Important gain 

 to the practical garden literature of 

 this country, and it should be in the 

 hands of every gardener, and everyone 

 else engaged or Interested in orna- 

 mental horticulture. The price of the 

 book is $5, which seems somewhat 

 high, but for useful Information it Is 

 worth every cent of It. — Vlck's Maga- 

 zine. 



Am well pleased with the Manual. 

 It is a practical, everyday helper, con- 

 cise and to the point.

Unlike so many of our books, It 

 has the very flavor and essence of ac- 

 tual experience. L. H. BAILEY. 



Ithaca, N. Y. 



Detroit, Mich., January 6, 1900.— Mr. 

 Wm. Scott, Buffalo, N. Y. Dear Sir: 

 The Commissioners of Parks and Bou- 

 levards 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 con- 

 gratulate you on the practical manner 

 with which you have treated the sub- 

 ject. 



This book is placed where it will be 

 accessible to all of our greenhouse em- 

 ployes, where this board expects to 

 reap a reward many times the cost o* 

 the book. Respectfully yours, 

 COMMISSIONERS OF PARKS AND 



BOULEVARDS, 



R. J. CORYELL, Gen'l Sup't. 



I am more than pleased with The 

 Florists' Manual. OTT BROWN.

Manual to hand. Am well satisfied 

 that it is the best work of its kind 

 ever published. 



JAS. HARTSHORNE. 



Jollet, 111. 



I am greatly pleased with the Man- 

 ual. C. J. REARDON. 

 Lake Geneva, Wis. 



We find the book very useful as a 

 reference In answering the many ques- 

 tions about plants that we receive al- 

 most every day. 



Philadelphia. JOS. KIFT & SON. 



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.
