Your Plants. 

 Plain and Practical Directions for the Treatment of Tender and Hardy 

 Plants in the House and in the Garden. By James Sheehan. The 

 above title well describes the character of the work — " Plain and Prac- 

 tical." The author, a commercial florist and gardener, has endeavored, 

 in this work, to answer the many questions asked by his customers, as 

 to the proper treatment of plants. The book shows all through that 

 its author is a practical man, and he writes as one with a large store 

 of experience. The work better meets the wants of the amateur who 

 grows a few plants in the window, or has a small flower Garden, than 

 a larger treatise intended for those who cultivate plants upon a more 

 extended-scale. Price, post-paid, paper covers 40
