NOTICES BY FLORISTS AND OTHERS. 
Certainly the most practical and desirable work that 
has ever been published on this subject. We are selling 
them rapidly. Some no doubt will say that it exposes 
the 4i secrets " of the Trade too freely, aud that it will 
make Gardeners aud Propagators so plentj' that our oc- 
cupation, like Othello's, will be gone. H. A. Dreer, 
Seedsman and Florist, Philadelphia, Pa. 
Truly " practical," and ought to be in the hands of 
cverj' one engaged in the culture of Flowers. 
T. C. Maxwell & Bros., Geneva, N. Y. 
It might be entitled '■ Floriculture Made Easy." I do 
not see why any one with ordinary common sense should 
not succeed, with this book in his hands. 
L. C. Lishy, Florist, Nashville, Tenn. 
No work ever before published in this country waa 
practically valuable to those hi want of direct informa- 
tion (upon this subject). Wm. Sattnders, 
Sup't Dep't of Agriculture, "Washington, D. C. 
Just the work for the young Florist or Amateur, as it 
tells him clearly there is no such thing as failure, if its 
simple teachings arc followed. 
Galvin & Geraghtt, Florists, Newport, R. I. 
What is wonderful, the most of our Professional Flo- 
rists here frankly admit their indebtedness to the work 
for information and suggestions. I am only an amateur 
in flowers, but feel gratefully indebted to its author for 
the pleasure its perusal has given. 
George W. Sanders, Baltimore, Md. 
Without exception the most practical work on Flori- 
culture in the English language. All the prosy fossils of 
&c. I consign to the lumber room. I shall order 
a dozen from the publishers to give to my friends. 
James Fleming, Nurseryman and Florist, 
Toronto, Canada. 
Complete in all its departments, a thoroughly common- 
sense book, valuable to all interested in Plants and 
Flowers. Geo. W. Campbell, Nurseryman. Delaware, O. 
We have been asked hundreds of times by our custom- 
era for a work on Mowers : now we get something i red St- 
able to recommend. Elliott Bros. &■ Burgess, Florists, 
Pittsburgh, Pa. 
Apart from its great working value, the book is de- 
lightful reading. Mraa ,\nn\ Warner, 
"The Island," West Point, N. Y. 
Thoroughly practical, yet readable as a novel. 
New York Sdn. 
A. worthy contribution to every votary of Flora; style 
comprehensive, sharp and decisive, jnst what was to be 
expected from its well-known author.

DR. JAS. CAMAK. 
REVISED AND NEWLY STEREOTYPED. 
ILLUSTRATED. 
Though entitled "" Gardening for the South,' - the work 
is one the utility of which is not restricted to the South. 
It is an admirable treatise on gardening in general, ami 
will rank among the most useful horticultural works of 
the present day. Horticultural operations are clearly ex- 
plained, and more in detail than is usual in works of this 
kind. To those living in the warmer portions of the 
Union, the work will be especially valuable, as it gives 
the varieties of vegetables and fruits adapted to the cli- 
mate and the modes of culture which it is necessary to 
follow.
