The detailed questions of propagation are an- 
swered in this admirable volume, which has become 
the standard work of reference for nurserymen. It 
is now in its third edition, and has been thoroughly 
revised and greatly extended. It is intensely prac- 
tical, and fully sets forth the processes of budding, 
grafting, seed-sowing, etc., as well as many other 
important items of nursery work. It is simply 
essential to the seedsman, nurseryman, florist or 
grower of plants in any walk of life. As with all 
Professor Bailéy’s works, there are unusually com- 
plete indexes and glossaries, rendering the book most 
convenient in use. 
Tur NursEeRY-Booxk includes Seedage (Requisites of Germina- 
tion, Seed-Testing, Handling and Sowing of Seeds); Separation and 
Division; Layerage; Cuttage (General Requirements of Cuttings, 
Various Kinds of Cuttings); Graftage (General Considerations, Bud- 
ding, Grafting, Inarching, Grafting Waxes); Nursery Management 
(Nursery Lands, Grades of Trees, Storing and Trimming Trees,

“This book should be in the home of not only every horticulturist, but 
of every family irrespective of occupation who love flowers or ornamental 
plants, for it treats of the propagation of these as well as ‘food plants.’ It 
contains chapters on Seedage, Separation and Division, Layerage, Cuttage, 
Graftage, and the Nursery List. Besides, it contains a glossary of great 
value to the aspiring horticulturist.”—Michigan Fruit-Grower and Practical 
Farmer.
