OUR NEW BOOKS 
"SO UTHERN FLORIC UL TURF. ’ ’ 
BY JAMES MORTON. 
Few enterprises have given more complete satisfaction than the pub- 
lication of this instructive little volume by us last Spring. The numer- 
ous complimentary letters we have received concerning it are ample 
proof that our labor upon it has not been in vain. We cannot give the 
entire contents of this book, as it is too long. It is a practical and 
scientific treatise on the classification, selection, propagation, soil, care, 
insect and fungas diseases of all plants cultivated for flowers in the 
South, with hints on their origin and introduction. The chapters on 
Roses and Chrysanthemums are alone worth the price of the book. It 
exposes the humbugs in floriculture, and is especially dedicated to the 
flower-loving ladies of the South. No lover of (lowers can afford to be 
without it. It tells just what you want to know about the many per- 
plexing questions that come up every day in the culture and care ot 
flowers. It is fresh from the press, 1800, and replete with information 
that everybody who cultivates but a few flowers should know. It con- 
tains 312 pages and 58 tine illustrations. It is the only book of the kind 
for the South. In order that our numerous patrons may share in the 
pleasure that it has already afforded a large number of readers, we are 
determined to make the price sufficiently low so as to place it within 
the reach of all. We have an edition neatly bound in Leatherette that 
we offer at Sixty Cents Eaci-i ; handsomely bound in cloth, gold em- 
bossed, $1.00, mailed free on receipt of price. We will send three paper 
books for $1.50, or three cloth books for $2.50. 
HOW TO GET A BOOK FREE. Any lady sending us an order for 
four books and $2.00 to pay for same, we will mail her a copy free, for 
her trouble in asking her friends to send with her. We hojie several 
ladies will avail themselves of this opportunity to secure a book. 
LADY AGENTS WANTED. We would like to have a lady agent in 
every town in the South to handle this book. It sells rapidly and any 
lady'of push can make good money at it, as we pay a good commission. 
Correspond with us for particulars. 
“A BOOK ABOUT CHRYSANTHEMUMS.’’ 
This book is at present in the hands of the publishers, and will be 
ready for distribution about February 1st. It contains a complete his- 
tory of the Chrysanthemum from the most remote ages to the present 
day. Every detail in Chrysanthemum culture is thoroughly discussed 
and the best method of cultivation for each particular purpose is gi ven. 
We could not here begin to enumerate all the excellent features of this 
work, but feel sure an interesting and valuable book is in store for all 
lovers of Chrysanthemums. For particulars apply lo James Morton, 
Clarksville, Tenn., or to the Rural Publishing Company, Times Build- 
ing, New York.
