GREENHOUSE FAVOURITES: 
A Description of Choice Greenhouse Plants, 
WITH PRACTICAL DIRECTIONS FOR THEIR 
MANAGEMENT AND CULTIVATION. 
EDITED BY 
The Editor of “THE FLORAL WORLD ” 
The design of this work is to place in the hands of all lovers of 
Flowers a good Practical Treatise, in an attractive form, on the 
Management of Greenhouse Plants ; which, while containing beauti- 
fully executed Coloured Representations of the most admired Plants 
cultivated in the Greenhouse, with appropriate letterpress de- 
scriptions of the Plants figured, shall embrace interesting and useful 
particulars, relative to their Character, History, and Culture, treated 
in a simple and practical manner. 
The Plants treated are those more generally cultivated, and such 
as almost every possessor of a greenhouse would desire to have ; 
at the same time the selection is sufficiently varied and generally 
interesting, and the Instruction on the subjects is given in as 
popular a form as possible, and directions are given in plain and 
simple language for the management and cultivation of the plants 
selected ; at the same time, where opportunity has offered, other in- 
teresting particulars concerning the subjects have been mentioned, 
as it has been the endeavour to make the book acceptable, not only 
to the horticulturist, but also to the general reader. 
“Whether as a drawing-room volume, or a handbook for the amateur or pro- 
fessional gardener, this work should take a very high position.” — Yorkshire 
Gazette. 
“A work of no mean beauty or importance. We cannot too highly congratulate 
the Editor and Publishers for the manner in which their respective tasks have 
been performed.” — Land and Water. 
“ The conspicuous features of the work are the plain practical character of the 
instructions or advice furnished, and the copious yet discriminating lists of the 
varieties of each plant that are most deserving of the cultivator’s attention. ” — 
Gloucester Chronicle. 
“ It is a practical treatise on the cultivation of favourite greenhouse plants, and 
the writer gives not only plain cultural directions, but a rare fund of historic and 
traditional notes about each plant. We know of no similar work which we can so 
confidently recommend.” — Tunbridge Free Press. 
“The large coloured illustrations are simply magnificent.” — Scarborough 
Gazette. 
“The chief object of the author has been to make it really useful ."—Journal 
of Horticulture. 
“ An elegant, and at the same time, practical work.” — Christian World.
