— A FEW EXPRESSIONS OF GRATITUDE AND PRAISE -— 
I bought “ Practical Floriculture” years ago and builta greenhouse, 
and without any help except the knowledge gained from it have a busi- 
ness that pays me $800a year, I wish to recommend your books, as I 
pontidentty elieve a man can learn the business quicker and more if 
thoroughly that way than by being driven before a boss for fifty years. q \

I attribute what success I have had in gardening, above all, to the 
books of the late Peter Henderson, which are beyond praise.—Hopart 
Hutton, Norbeck, Maryland. 
You never did a better thing than to get out that book, ‘“‘ How the 
Farm Pays,” Itis chock-full of sound sense, and is as pleasant readin 
to me as ifitwere a novel. Thereare no weeds in it; it is well plowed, 
harrowed and rolled. If aman who reads and heeds that book does 
not make a good farmer, it must be because his head-soil is so poor as 
not to be worth cultivating.—Hgnry Warp BEgeEcHEr, Brooklyn, N. Y 
. 
‘The American Gardener’s Dictionary ” is really the proper title for 
Henderson’s ‘‘ New Handbook of Plants and General Horticulture.” This 
book was completed by Peter Henderson just before his death, and was 
regarded with special pride by him as the greatest and final effort of 
his life. The book is a royal octayo of 528 pages, illustrated with nearl 
one thousand engravings of the plants and systems of culture described. 
Combined with botanical and teclinical accuracy of the work, its value 
is enhanced by the very full instructions given for the culture and 
forcing of all small fruits, vines, flowers, bulbs, and all descriptions 
of vegetables. Mr. Henderson has stamped upon the work his 
characteristic thoroughness and direct way of stating just how the 
various plants and crops may be cultivated to the best advantage. 
The work is destined to fully occupy the place which he predicted for it. 
It is well printed, and, as a whole, executed in a manner befitting such 
a standard work.—AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST-

I owe much of my success in being able to earn what little I can 
from whatI have read in books written by the founder oi your business, 
and I feel grateful for it—Mrs. Marie H. Hap vey, Princeton, Mass,

I have not had occasion to look for anything yet in the ‘‘ Handbook 
of Plants” whichI could not find. It certainly gives more practical 
oints to the square inch than any book | haye ever examined.—F. G.

‘‘Henderson’s Handbook of Plants,” in a single yolume, costing 
’ $4.00, is to Americans what ‘‘Gardener’s Dictionary,” with its eight 
eee price $25.00, is to England.—PopuLar GARDENING, Buffalo,

Ihave carefully read ‘‘How the Farm Pays,” and consider it the 
best arranged and most complete of all the farm books I have ever baa, 
and I have spent nearly $100 on books treating of farming alone.— 
W. P. Givsert, Clifton, Texas. 
This book (‘‘Henderson’s Handbook of Plants’’) meets a long-felt 
want, and I consider it one of the best twenty-five books in the English 
language. If I could not buy another, I would not sell mine for $100.

I prize your book, ‘‘ How the Farm Pays,” very much. I find there 
are many Suggestions made by Mr. Crozier and yourself that seem so 
excellent I will adopt them, though I have been a practical farmer for 20 
years.—KicHarp Lewis, Irvington-on-Hudson, N. Y

I think that I am justified in stating that “Gardeningfor Profit” was Za(( ©) pe »))) Pa. 
really worth three hundred dollars to me this season, as I had one of © Sa . : aa 
the finest gardens in Montana. At least, that was the talk of every one oY Your ‘ Practical Floriculture’’ is a most complete work.—C. W.
