THE NURSERY-BOOK. 
By L. H. BAILEY. 
New Edition. Thoroughly recast and revised. 
16 mo, Cloth, $1. 
This little manual has been one of the most popular of all current horti- 
cultural books. It contains no discussions of the theory or physiology of the 
propagation of plants, but it isa simple and practical account of all the waysin 
which plants are multiplied. It has found a wide circulation, both amongst 
nurserymen and amateurs. Many new illustrations have been made for this 
edition, bringing the number of cuts up to over 150. In its revised form, the 
Nursery Book is the most complete propagating manual in the language. 
THE FORCING-BOOK, 
A MANUAL OF THE CULTIVATION OF VEGETABLES IN GLASS HOUSES. 
By L. H. BAILEY. 
16 mo, Cloth, $1, 
This is a handbook of instructions upon the forcing of vegetables for mar- 
ket, and is the completest work of the kind yet published in this country. 
It is based on years of careful experimentation at the Cornell University 
Station, and a long familiarity with the forcing business as practiced in many 
parts of the country. 
It contains full estimates of the cost of heating forcing houses, and of the 
labor necessary to run them. There is also an illustrated chapter on the con- 
struction of forcing houses, and another on their management. 
IN PREPARATION. 
THE PRUNING-BOOK. 
By L. H. BAILEY. 
It is strange that the one subject upon which horticulturists have always 
asked the most questions should be wholly without a treatise. The subject of 
pruning is so vitally connected with every horticultural occupation, and the 
questions which it presents are so numerous and so difficult of answer, that 
nothing less than an entire volume can ever set people right in respect to it. 
Professor Bailey has been making definite experiments and observations upon 
the subject for a number of years, and the results of these labors are ncw 
approaching readinesss for publication. The work will comprise the culture 
range of the theory and practice of pruning, both of fruit and ornamental 
trees and bushes, and it is expected to be on sale early in 1897.
