HENDERSON'S HAND-BOOK OF PLANTS. 



BY 



PETER HENDERSON. 



This new work is designed to fill a want that many amateur and professional 

 Horticulturists have often felt, the need of a concise yet comprehensive Dictionary 

 of Plants. The work above named, written and compiled with great care, we 

 think will fully meet such a want. 



The scope of the work embraces the Botanical Name, Derivation, Linnaean 

 and Natural orders of Botany of all the Leading Genera of Ornamental and Useful 

 Plants, up to the present time (comprising every plant of importance relating to 

 the mechanic arts, as well as to the green-house and vegetable garden), with 

 concise instructions for propagation and culture. A valuable feature of the book, 

 particularly to amateurs, is the great care that has been given to obtain all known 

 local or common names; and a comprehensive glossary of Botanical and Technical 

 terms is also given, which will be found of great value even to the experienced 

 Horticulturist. 



As a book of reference, HENDERSON'S HAND-BOOK OF PLANTS will 

 take the place, for all practical purposes, of the expensive and voluminous 

 European works of this kind, as it has been written with a view to meet the wants 

 of those engaged in Horticulture in this country. Instructions for the culture of 

 many important plants have been given at length. 



HENDERSON'S HAND-BOOK OF PLANTS is a large octavo volume of 

 412 pages, printed on tine white paper, and handsomely bound in cloth. 



We will forward the book, post-paid, by mail, on receipt of $3.00: or we will 

 send it, as well as any or all of our other books, as a Premium on orders for 

 Seeds or Plan ts selected from our Catalogue of "EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN."
