By peter HENDERSON. 
Finely Illustrated. Price, Posl-paid, $1.50. 
The following voluntary notices of Mr. Henderson's books 
are specimens of shnilar testimony from very many quarters. 
•' February 8(A, 1875. 
"Enclosed and draft for $S.0O, the published price of re- 
vised editions of 'Gardening for Profit' and 'Practical 
Floriculture.* 1 have lirst editions, and they have saved tlie 
cost of each more than one hundred times. Many thanks for 
wliat you are doing for the gardeners of the United Slates."

" rour Gardening for Profit is what the Fanuly Bible is to 
a good old Methodist— the only sure guide.'* 
"J/f/rc/'t 23*i, 18T4. 
"If this should go to Mr. Henderson, I would say that I 
believe tlie gardeners of this country would gladly had an- 
other edition of 'Gardening for Profit ;' at least, I tliank 
him for that little work. Tlirough its influence I left a pay- 
ing manufacturing business and began to follow its teach- 
ings. This was three j-ears ago. Now I have a. market 
garden of thirty .acres and 400 four-feet sash, and eiyoy my- 
self as I never did before. Again I thank him." 
Practical 
Floriculture. 
A Guide to tlie Successful Propagation and 
Ciiltirntion of Florists' Plants, 
Author ot "Gardening for Profit." 
B€aul?fuUy Illustrated. Price, Post-imd, $1.50. 
In tins work, wh'.ch has everywhere bccou'e so deservedly 
popular, not only is tne «'hole " art and mystery " of propa- 
gation explained, but the reader is tauj:ht how to plant and 
grow the plants after they have l)een propagated. The work 
is not one for florists and gardeners only, hut the amateur's 
wants are constantly kept in mind, and we have a very com- 
plete treatise on the cultivation of flowers under glass, or 
in the open air, suited to tliose who grow flowers for plea- 
sure as well as those who make tliem a matter of trade. 
The work is cliaracterized by the same radical common 
sense that marked tlie author's "Gardening lor Profit," and 
it holds a high place in the estimation of lovers o£ 
floriculture. The new edition has been thoroughly revised 
by the author, and much enlarged by the addition of valu- 
able matter. 
The following are a few of the subjects embraced in the 
latest edition : 
Laying out Flower Garden and Lawn; Designs for 
Groniuls and for Greenhouses; Soils for Potilng; Cold 
Frames; Hot-Ileds;- Greenhouses Attached to Dwellings; 
Modes of Heating; Propagation of Plants by Seeds and by 
Cuttings; Culture of the liose and Tuberose; Growing of 
Winter-flowering Plants; Construction of liouquets, Baskets, 
etc.; Parlor and Window-Gardening: Wardiau-Cases and 
Ferneries; Insects; What Flowers Grow in the Shade; 
Culture of Grape-Yiues under Glass ; Tlie Profits of Flori- 
culture ; How to Become a Florist, etc., etc.
