HOME KI-ORICL"LTURE, HV EBEN E. REXFORD. 



This is a new book treating oti flowering and orna- 

 mental plants in house and garden. It contains 800 

 pages, fully illustrated. It tells all about making 

 soil for potting, about potting plants, watering plants, 

 about insects, etc. There is also a very interesting 

 chapter relatintr to small greenhouses. In fact, the 

 whole book is more particularly for home florists and 

 amateur greenhouse-owners than for florists. It is 

 not only fully up to date but it is the best book on 

 the subject for the money I know of. Price 90 cents; 

 by mail, jl.OO.
