manures, the sowing of seed, the formation of hotbeds, and an immense 

 list to select from, of hardy pirenuial, biennial, annual, and bedding 

 plants. All the plants mentioned are alphabetically named, with their dif- 

 ferent varieties, height, length, and other peculiarities, and founded on the 

 best authorities. This bids fair to become a popular and standard horticul- 

 tural publication." — Chicar/o Journal. 



" This elegant book is a credit to American agricultural literature. It is 

 a work of 384 pages, beautifully printed on tinted paper, and illustrated by 

 many appropriate engravings. 



" It was undertaken, as the author says, to supply the want, which has 

 long been felt, of a trustworthy hand book of garden flowers ; one whicli 

 should comprise a short treatise on the culture of hardy perennials, bien- 

 nials, and annuals, as well as the more showy family of bedding plants. 

 The volume, therefore, contains concise directions for the culture of every 

 plant usually met with in the garden, including trees, shrubs, and climbers. 



" Tills, it must be seen, is an extremely interesting field of practical in- 

 vestigation ; and the author is entitled to the thanks and the patronage of 

 the community for the complete and able manner in which he has entered 

 upon and presented it. We can cheerfully commend the work to florists 

 and gardeners, and to all others interested in the subject." — J/ass.
