F you wish to aad Vegetables for Sale, read GARDENING FOR PRoFIT. The personal 
success of its author during his long career as a market gardener, and the success of thousands 
from the time he first made his cultural methods known up to the present day, shows the popular 
estimation of the value set upon this great work. All over the land it opened up the market gardening 
interest, for it should be always remembered that this was the first work ever written on market garden- 
ing in this country. To the South alone its value is almost beyond computation, for the enormous 
trucking interests already there, and which are constantly on the increase, owe their birth entirely to, and — 
subsequent development mainly to the teachings of GARDENING FoR PRoFIT. Written particularly for the Market Gardener and Truck Farmer, 
yet it is of equal value for large private gardens. The first edition of GARDENING FOR PROFIT was published in 1866 ; it has been revised twice 
since, and its sale has been so large that up to this time 43 editions have been printed. The present edition was revised and greatly 
enlarged in the summer of 1886. Its scope has been greatly extended since the earlier editions were published. The varieties in vegetables 
recommended for market culture have also been carefully revised ; so that what is now advised to plant are kinds in general use at this time.

F you wish to become a Commercial Florist, then of all books you should procure PRACTICAL 
FLORICULTURE. We have any number of complimentary letters from people who actually knew nothing of 
the florists’ business, but who followed the instructions in this work and are now “full-fledged florists.” And 
although written especially for the Commercial Florist, it is equally valuable to the amateur and all having con- 
servatories, greenhouses, window gardens, etc. PRACTICAL FLORICULTURE was first issued in 1868, has gone through 
many editions and had an enormous sale, and is admitted to be the leading American authority on this subject. 
This present edition of PRACTICAL FLORICULTURE was greatly enlarged by Mr. Henderson in 1887, and revised to 
keep abreast of the times, as there 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.
