PRACTICAL FLORICULTURG. 
This work teaches how flowers and plants can best be ‘ 
“grown for profit.” The original Practical Floriculture, 
fwritten eight years ago, has had an eno:mous sale, and it was admitted to be the ledding authority on this subject. 
y We have received numerous complimentary letters from people who actually knew ‘nothing of the florists’ business, 
| and who have followed the instructions of this book and are now “‘ full fledged florists,” having a remunerative and 
pleasant business Tis new edition of Practical Floriculture has been written to keep abreast of the times, as 
here are now many superior methods of propagation and culture of flowers and plants—and many improved varieties 
of plants—all of which have been fully treated in this new edition. 
The Following Table of Contents
