 skilled propagators in the world. A complete Handbook of Propagation 

 and Pollination of Plants. Profusely illustrated. 



This valuable little manual has been compiled with great pains. It is abso- 

 lutely devoid of theory and speculation. It has nothing to do with plant physi- 

 ology or abstruse reasoning about plant growth. It simply tells, plainly and 

 briefly, what every one who sow.s a seed, makes a cutting, sets a graft, or 

 crosses a flower wants to know. It is entirely new in original method and mat- 

 ter. The illustrations number 107, and are made especially for it, direct from 

 nature. The book treats of all kinds of cultivated plants, fruits, vegetables, 

 greenhouse plants, hardy herbs, ornamental trees and shrubs and forest-trees 

 It tells how to propagate over 2,000 varieties of shrubs, trees and herbaceous 

 or soft-stemmed plants the process for each being fully described.
