By PETER HENDERSON 



GARDENING FOR PLEASURE. 



This will be found to fill a place which neither of the author's previous works — " Gardening 

 for Profit," or "Practical Floriculture" — have properly filled, these being mainly for Commer- 

 cial Gardeners. The present work has been written in compliance with the request of hundreds 

 of our amateur patrons, and it is hoped that the subject has been made so plain, that the most 

 inexperienced cultivator can make his gardening operations — whether of fruits, flowers, or vege- 

 tables — a success, whether his area of soil be confined to a rod or an acre, a few plants in a 

 parlor, or to a fully appointed conservatory. It is fully illustrated, the subjects treated of are: 



Design for Garden, 

 Fall or Holland Bulbs, 

 Propagation of Plants by Seed, 

 Propagation of Plants by Slips or Cuttings, 

 How Grafting and Budding are done, 

 The Potting of Plants,

GARDENING FOR PROFIT. 



New and Revised Edition. 



A work devoted to vegetable Gardening. Its teachings are our personal experience for over 

 twenty years of growing vegetables for the great market of New York ; and though mainly writ- 

 ten for the market gardener, hundreds of amateurs and private gardeners have thanked us for its 

 publication. Since the first edition, printed in 1866, upwards of Fifty Thousand Copies have 

 been sold. 



Sent Post Paid, Price $ 1 .50. 



PRACTICAL FLORICULTURE. 



New and Revised Edition. 



In consequence of the large number yearly engaging in the business of Commercial Floricul- 

 ture, the author wrote, for the information of such — seven years ago — "Practical Floriculture." 

 It has passed now through two editions, having had a sale of some Twenty Thousand Copies, 

 and we have had hundreds of grateful letters from those whom it has assisted in this pleasant 

 business.
