PUBLICATION RECEIVED. 

 The Principles of Floriculture. — By 

 Edward A. White, Professor of Flori- 

 culture in the N. Y. State College of 

 Agriculture at Cornell University, and 

 formerly at the Mass. State College, 

 Amherst. This book is the latest ad- 

 dition to the Rural Text Book Series, 

 edited by Dr. L. H. Bailey and pub- 

 lished by The MacMillan Company of 

 New York. The names of Prof. White 

 and Dr. Bailey in connection with it 

 will at once fix the position of this 

 volume in the estimation of our read- 

 ers. As would be expected, its chap- 

 ters give abundant evidence of close 

 application and painstaking work in 

 its preparation. There are nineteen 

 chapters comprising no less than 750 

 distinct topics and filling 454 pages, 

 minutely indexed. There are 52 illus- 

 trations and it would seem that every 

 question that could possibly present 

 itself in regard to the cultural needs, 

 the growing and marketing of plants 

 and flowers, both wholesale and retail, 

 the construction and heating of green- 

 houses, soils, diseases, etc., etc., is 

 fully answered in this really remark- 

 able book. We do not hesitate to as- 

 sert that it will acceptably meet the 

 needs of the flower growers and to un- 

 reservedly recommend it as an indis- 

 pensable manual. At the very low 

 price of $1.75 it is sure to have a w-ide 

 sale. 



Copies can be supplied from the of- 

 fice of Horticulture.
