thousands from the time he first made his cultural methods known up to the present day,

PRACTICAL FLORICULTURE 
By Peter Henderson. 325 pages. Fully illustrated. Price, postpaid, $1.50 
F you wish to become a commercial florist, then of all books you should procure "Practi- 
cal Floriculture.” We have any number of complimentary letters from people who actually 
knew nothing of the florists’ business, but who followed the instructions in this work, and are 
now "full-fledged florists.” And, although written especially for the commercial florist, it is 
equally valuable to the amateur and all having consen'atories, greenhouses, window gardens, 
etc. Admitted to be the leading American authority on this subject. 
HOW THE FARM PAYS

Grain, Root Crops, Fruits, etc.; and all about Stock, Farm Machiner}^, etc. It is written 
in a plain and easy-to-be-understood language. Everything pertaining to scientific or abstruse 
subjects has been ignored, the information given being the most direct to make the work of the 
farm pay. This is perhaps the first book of the kind ever written b3r two men while actually 
engaged in the work which to both has been such a continued success — hence, their advice is 
practical and doubly valuable.
