HENDERSONS 



BY 



PETEE HENDERSON. 



This new work (which we will have ready for delivery by 

 February 1st, 1881) is designed to fill" a want that many amateur 

 and professional Horticulturists have often felt — the need of a 

 concise yet comprehensive Dictionary of Plants. The work above 

 named, written and compiled with great care, we think will fully 

 meet such a want. 



The scope of the work embraces the Botanical Name, 

 Derivation, Linnsean, and Natural Orders of Botany of all the 

 Leading Genera of Ornamental and Useful Plants, up to the 

 present time (comprising every plant of importance relating to the 

 mechanic arts, as well as to the green-house and vegetable garden), 

 with concise instructions for propagation and culture. A valuable 

 feature of the book, particularly to amateurs, is the great care 

 that has been given to obtaining all known local or common 

 names ; and a comprehensive glossary of Botanical and Technical 

 Terms is also given, which will be found of great value even to 

 the experienced Horticulturist. 



As a book of reference, HENDERSON'S HANDBOOK OF PLANTS 

 will take the place, for all practical purposes, of the expensive and 

 voluminous European works of this kind, as it has been written 

 with a view to meet the wants of those engaged in Horticulture in 

 this country. Instructions for the culture of many important plants 

 have been given at length. 



HENDERSONS HANDBOOK OF PLANTS (ready February 1st) 

 is a large octavo volume of four hundred pages, printed on fine 

 white paper, and handsomely bound in cloth. 



We will forward the book, post-paid by mail, on receipt of $3.00; 

 or we will send it as a Premium on orders for goods selected 

 from this catalogue, for conditions of which offer, please refer to
