OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 
“This is a useful little work. Mr. Mollison has handled his subject in a 
thoroughly business-like manner. His combinations of colours exhibit a con- 
siderable amount of taste, while his directions are as clear and precise as they 
are simple and practical, and the reader who takes linn tor his guide need have 
no fear whatever about succeeding. Moreover, the book is liberally lllustiated, 
so that the reader can judge beforehand of t he effects produced by this oi that 
method of floral decoration or arrangement. —Lana ana Water. 
“ A really beautiful and tasteful little book . W e cannot speak too highly of 
the style in which this work is prepared, as it forms of itself an ornament to 
the window-table. The botanical part of the work is excellent, and we are glad 
to see that the author has recommended in many cases the use of plants tor 
decoration, which are within the reach of most persons of moderate means. 
^The^ohime is intended to prove to the lover of flowers, that with an ex- 
penditure which may be adapted to suit almost any purse windows may be 
kept gay, or, at all events, green and refreshing during every one of the twelve 
months .” — Morning Pont. „ . . . , . . 
“ The little book contains a great deal of just the sort of information which 
window gardeners want.” — Gardeners’ Chronicle.

amount of information, and the suggestions offered are rendered easy of com- 
prehension by numerous engravings and coloured plates. —1 ictonat If orut.

most lovely and picturesque comfort-reposing spots .’’—Midland Cornier. 
“A very useful and comprehensive manual on the subject. — Ladies 1 reasury.
