The flower-growing business has become highly speciahzed. 

 Science has, therefore, come to be an important factor in 

 flower production, and there has arisen a demand for scien- 

 tific information regarding all lines of floriculture. The pur- 

 pose of the author of this book has been to consider the 

 principles which underlie the successful culture of ornamental 

 plants, and to present these in such a manner that the book 

 may be useful in the class-room. It is believed that it will 

 also be of service in a practical way to practical men. Among 

 the topics discussed are: The importance of the plant and 

 flower-growing industry; principles and methods of con- 

 structing and heating glasshouses; factors which influence 

 healthy plant growth; business principles in marketing 

 flowers; glasshouse insects and their extermination; diseases 

 of plants and their remedies, and the factors which underlie 

 successful culture of standard florists' crops.
