Author of "Gardening for Profit." 
Beautifully Illustrated. Price, Post-paid, $1.50. 
In tliis 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 Cor florists and gardeners only, but 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 ttie open air, suited to those who giow flowers for plea- 
sure as well aB 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 :
