NEW AND REVISED EDITION. 



A Guide to the Successful Propagation and Cultivation of Florist's Plants, 



In this work, which has everywhere become so deservedly popular, not only is th© 

 whole "art and mystery" of propagation explained, but the reader is taught how to 

 plant and grow the plants after they have been propagated. The work is not one for 

 florists and gardeners only, but the amateur's wants are constantly kept in mind, and 

 we have a very complete treatise on the cultivation of flowers under glass, or in the open 

 air, suited to those who grow flowers for pleasure as well as those who make them a mat- 

 ter of trade. The work is characterized by the same radical common sense that marked 

 the author's "Gardening fur Profit," and it holds a high place in the estimation of lovers 

 of floriculture. The new edition has been thoroughly revised by the author, and much 

 enlarged by the addition of valuable matter. 



The following are a few of the subjects embraced in the latest edition : 

 Laying out Flower Garden and Lawn ; Designs for Grounds and for Greenhouses; 

 Soils for Potting; Cold Frames; Hot-beds; Greenhouses Attached to Dwellings; Mode 

 of Heating; Propagation of Plants by Seeds and by Cuttings; Culture of the Eose and 

 Tuberose ; Growing of Winter-flowering Plants ; Construction of Bouquets, Baskets, etc.; 

 Parlor and Window Gardening; Wardian-cases and Ferneries; Insects; What Flowers 

 Grow in the Shade ; Culture of Grape Viues under glass; the Profits of Floriculture ;
