Fulton’s Peach Culture.$1.50 
Among the fruits, the Peach, if not the most, is one of 
the most important of all. It is so easily raised, comes 
into hearing so soon, and is so delicious as well as 
beautiful, it is impossible that it should not be a favor¬ 
ite. Living in the very center of the peach-growing 
district; sharing the common interest felt in the sub¬ 
ject ; deeply impressed with its importance to the in¬ 
dividual planters themselves, and also to the com¬ 
munity at large ; and believing that a lasting benefit 
could be done to both, the author has been induced to 
prepare this work on peach culture. By James Alexan¬ 
der Pulton. Illustrated. Cloth, 12mo.

A Guide to the Successful Propagation and Cultivation

where become so deservedly popular, not only is the 
whole “ art and mystery ” of propagation explained, 
but the reader is taught how to plant and grow the 
plants after they have been propagated. The work is 
not one for florists and gardeners only, but the ama¬

a very complete treatise on the cultivation of flowers 
under glass, or in the open air, suited to those who 
grow flowers for pleasure, as well as 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 ill 
the estimation of lovers of floriculture. The new 
edition has been thoroughly revised by the author, and 
much enlarged by the addition of valuable matter.
