This valuable little manual has been compiled with great pains. It is absolutely devoid 

 of theory and speculation. It has nothing to do with plant physiology or abstruse reason- 

 ing about plant growth. It simply tells, plainly and briefly, what every one who sows a 

 seed, makes a cutting, sets a graft, or crosses a flower wants to know. It is entirely new in 

 original method and matter. The illustrations number 107, and are made especially for it, 

 direct from nature. The book treats of all kinds of cultivated plants, fruits, vegetables, 

 greenhouse plants, hardy herbs, ornamental trees and shrubs and forest-trees. It tells how 

 to propagate overa.ooo varieties of shrubs, trees and herbaceous or soft-stemmed plants — 

 the process for each being fully described.
