AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST. 
119 
Newly Revised and En- 
larged Edition. 
Practical 
Floriculture. 
A Guide to the Successful Propagation and 
Cultivation of Florists' Plants. 
By r»ETEK, HEPsT13E:r£ft50]V, 
Author of " Gardening for Profit." 
Beautifully Illustrated. Price, Post-paid, $1.50. 
In this work, which has everywhere become so deservedly 
popular, not only is the whole " art and mystery " of propa- 
gation explained, but the reader is taught how to plant and 
grow the plants after they have been propagated. The work 
is not one for florists and gardeners only, but the amateur'B 
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 those who grow flowers for plea- 
sure as well as those who make them a matter of trade. 
The work is characterized by the same radical common 
sense that marked the author's "Gardening for Profit,'* and 
it holds a high place in the estimation of lovers of 
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 
Grounds and for Greenhouses; Soils for Potting; Cold 
Frames; Hot-Beds; Greenhouses Attached to Dwellings; 
Modes of Heating ; Propagation of Plants by Seeds and by 
Cuttings; Culture of the Hose and Tuberose; Growing of 
Winter-flowering Plants ; Construction of Bouquets, Baskets, 
etc.; Parlor and "Window-Gardening: Wardiau-Cases and 
Ferneries; Insects; What Flowers Grow in the Shade; 
Culture of Grape- Vines under Glass ; The Profits of Flori- 
culture ; How to Become a Florist, etc., etc.

DO GOOD 
MAKE 
MONEY. 
The Publishers of American Ag- 
riculturist and Hearth and Home 
take pleasure in presenting in the 
adjoining Table, their new general 
Premium List for 1S74. The Pre- 
miums which they have offered In 
past years have engaged the atten- 
tion of a very large number of 
persons of all ages and both sexes. 
Many thousands have secured Pre- 
miums, and very many of these, 
who at first had small hopes of 
Guccess, have been themselves as- 
tonished at the ease with which 
they have raised large clubs and 
secured valuable Premiums. 
Here is pleasant and profitable 
work for all. Any one who wishes 
to do good, and make 
money, can do both by going 
to work as here invited by the pub- 
lishers of these two most valuable 
journals, American Agriculturist 
and Hearth and Home. You 
need only to show specimens of 
the papers, promise the beautiful 
Chromos, which are 71010 ready for 
delivery, according to the publish- 
ers' offer, and forward your sub- 
scriptions. TRY IT.
