GREENHOUSE FAVOURITES: 



A Description of Choice Greenhouse Plants, 



WITH PRACTICAL DIRECTIONS FOR THEIR 



MANAGEMENT AND CULTIVATION. 



EDITED BY 



' The Editor of "THE FLORAL WORLD/ 1 



The design of this work is to place in the hands of all lovers of 

 Flowers a good Practical Treatise, in an attractive form, on the 

 Management of Greenhouse Plants ; which, while containing beauti- 

 fully executed Coloured Representations of the most admired Plants 

 cultivated in the Greenhouse, with appropriate letterpress de- 

 scriptions of the Plants figured, shall embrace interesting and useful 

 particulars, relative to their Character, History, and Culture, treated 

 in a simple and practical manner. 



The Plants treated are those more generally cultivated, and such 

 as almost every possessor of a greenhouse would desire to have ; 

 at the same time the selection is sufficiently varied and generally 

 interesting, and the Instruction on the subjects is given in as 

 popular a form as possible, and directions are given in plain and 

 simple language for the management and cultivation of the plants 

 selected ; at the same time, where opportunity has offered, other in- 

 teresting particulars concerning the subjects have been mentioned, 

 as it has been the endeavour to make the book acceptable, not only 

 {o the horticulturist, but also to the general reader. 



"Whether as a drawing-room volume, or a handbook for the amateur or pro- 

 fessional gardener, this work should take a very high position." — Yorkshire 

 Gazette. 



"A work of no mean beauty or importance. We cannot too highly congratulate 

 the Editor and Publishers for the manner in which their respective tasks have 

 been performed." — Land and Water. 



" The conspicuous features of the work are the plain practical character of the 

 instructions or advice furnished, and the copious yet discriminating lists of the 

 varieties of each plant that are most deserving of the cultivator's attention. " — 

 Gloucester Chronicle. 



" It is a practical treatise on the cultivation of favourite greenhouse plants, and 

 the writer gives not only plain cultural directions, but a rare fund of historic antl 

 traditional notes about each plant. We know of no similar work which we can so 

 confidently recommend." — Tunbridge Free Press. 



" The large coloured illustrations are simply magnificent." — Scarborough 

 Gazette. 



"The chief object of the autl or has been to make it really useful. "—Journal 

 of Horticulttcre.
