A NEW BOOK PUBLISHED 1911 
“HOME FLORICULTURE” 
Cy CHAS. N. PAGE, Author of “Feathered Pets,’’ “Aquaria,” Etc., Etc. 
^THIS may well be considered a complete text- 
book and guide for the culture of blooming 
and ornamental plants in the house, con- 
servatory and garden. While it was prepared 
particularly for growing plants for ornamenting 
the home place, still experienced professional gar- 
deners and florists will find it full of practical 
suggestions which are of value to them. It con- 
tains chapters on propagating plants by seeds, 
cuttings, layering, divisions, etc., including many 
suggestions for improved methods which have 
proved highly successful. How to prepare hot- 
beds and cold frames. How to build and conduct 
a private greenhouse and have an abundance of 
flowers all through the winter months. Tells how 
Women Florists may succeed. Directions for 
making floriculture profitable as well as pleasant. 
Lists of all the most desirable plants for house or 
garden culture and full directions for growing 
them. Ornamental vines, hardy shrubs, plants 
for cemetery use, for Bhady places, specimens, 
etc. 
The chapters on lawn and landscape garden- 
ing are worth dollars to everyone who has even a 
small home place, as they tell you how to make it 
attractive with but little expense and save the 
cost of a high-salaried landscape architect. The 
many little suggestions scattered through the book will assist you in making your place look not 
only more attractive but also “different” from your neighbors. There are talks on botany and how 
new varieties originate; on aquatic plants; on weeds and how to destroy them; insects and how to 
kill them, and plant diseases— how to cure or prevent them. 
The chapter on Cut Flowers will be read with much interest as it gives much practical infor- 
mation which has heretofore been considered in the line of “trade secrets” by professional florists, 
and the amateur will be helped to produce artistic floral work and prepare their own decorations for 
weddings, banquets, etc. There are also numerous notes on almost every topic relating to floricul- 
ture. 
It makes a book of 174 pages and is right up to date and more complete and better than sim- 
ilar books selling at $2.00 to $10.00 each, but in order to make it popular the price has been put at 
only 75 cents cloth bound; 25 cents in paper covers. 
If you prefer we will allow you to select a twenty-five cent copy of Home Floriculture as a 
premium on a two dollar order for seeds in place of the extra roses offered as a premium on first 
page of catalogue.
