Plant Propagation, Greenhouse 

 and Nursery Practice 



By M. G. K.\INS 



We have had many inquiries from 

 time to time for a reliable and up-to- 

 date book on plant propagation, but 

 were always at a loss to find any pub- 

 lication that we could recommend. The 

 subject has been dealt with In fragmen- 

 tary manner only in books that have 

 come to our notice. So It is well that 

 this new work has been Issued, especi- 

 ally as It is both comprehensive and 

 practical, and it should meet with a 

 ready sale among plantsmen, nursery- 

 men and gardeners. There are nineteen 

 chapters covering in detail topics of 

 germination and longevity of seeds, 

 propagating by buds, layering, cattlnrm, 

 grafting, etc., fruit tree stocks, dons, 

 etc., and there are eight pages of con- 

 densed cultural instructions in tabu- 

 lated form, covering annuals and peren- 

 nials from seed, woody plants, ever- 

 greens, vines, bulbs and tubers, green- 

 house and house plants, ferns, palms, 

 water plants, orchids and cacti. The 

 Illustrations are numerous, comprising 

 213 figures and halftone plates. There 

 are 322 pages well bound and on heavy 

 paper, teeming with helpful Information. 

 It Is a book which no cultivator can 

 afford to do without. It is worth many 

 times its price. Copies can be supplied 

 from the office of HORTICULTURE at 

 publisher's price, $1..50.
