Floriculture. 
A Guide to the Successful Propagation and 
Cultivation of Florists’ Plants. 
I!j I'UYIICTi HENDERSON, 
Author of “ Gardening for Profit.” 
Beautifully Illustrated. Price, Post-paid, $1.50. 
In tins work, which has everywhere become so deservedly 
popular, not only is the whole “ art and mystery ” of propa¬ 
gation explained, hut 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 amateur’s 
wants are constantly kept in mind, and we have a very com¬ 
plete treatise on the cultivation of flowers under glass, or 
in the open air, suited to those who grow flowers for plea¬ 
sure as well as those who make them a matter of trade. 
Tlie work is characterized by the same radical common 
sense that marked the author's “ Gardening for Profit,” and 
it holds a high place in the estimation of lovers of 
floriculture. The new edition has been thoroughly revised 
by tlie author, and much enlarged by the addition of valu¬ 
able matter. 
Tlie following are a few of tlie subjects embraced in the 
latest edition: 
Laying out Flower Garden and Lawn; Designs for 
Grounds and for Greenhouses; Soils for Potting; Cold 
Frames; Hot-Beds; Greenhouses Attached to Dwellings; 
Modes of Heating; Propagation of Plants by Seeds and by 
Cuttings; Culture of tlie Rose and Tuberose; Growing of 
Winter-flowering Plants; Construction of Bouquets, Baskets, 
etc.; Parlor and Window-Gardening: Wardian-Cases and 
Ferneries; Insects; What Flowers Grow in the Shade; 
Culture of Grape-Vines under Glass ; The Profits of Flori¬ 
culture; How to Become a Florist, etc., etc. 
Gardening for Profit. 
A Guide to the Successful Cultivation ot 
tlie Market and Family Garden. 
By PETER HENDEESOK 
Finely Illustrated. Price, Post-paid, $1.50. 
Tlie following voluntary notices of Mr. Henderson’s books 
are specimens of similar testimony from very many quarters. 
“ February 8th, 1875. 
“Enclosed find draft for $3.00, the published price of re¬ 
vised editions of ‘Gardening for Profit’ and ‘Practical 
Floriculture.’ I have first editions, and they have saved tlie 
cost of eacii more than one hundred times. Many thanks for 
what you are doing for the gardeners of tlie United States." 
“ December 9 th, 1874. 
“ Four Gardening for Profit is what tlie Family Bible is to 
a good old Methodist—the only sure guide.” 
“ March 23 d, 1874. 
“If tills should go to Mr. Henderson, I would say that I 
believe tlie gardeners of this country would gladly hail an¬ 
other edition of ‘ Gardening for Profit;’ at least, I thank 
him for that little work. Through its influence I left a pay- 
ing manufacturing business and began to follow its teach¬ 
ings. This was three years ago. Now I have a market 
garden of thirty acres and 400 four-feet sash, and enjoy my¬ 
self as I never did before. Again I thank him." 
AMERICAN CATTLE. 
Their History, Breeding, and Management, 
By LEWIS F. ALLEN. 
ILLUSTRATED. PRICE, POST-PAID, $2.50. 
This book will be considered indispensable by every 
breeder of live-stock. The large experience of the author 
in improving the character of American herds adds to the 
weight of his observations, and has enabled him to produce 
a work which will at once make good its claims as a stand¬ 
ard authority on tlie subject. An excellent feature of the 
volume is its orderly, methodical arrangement, condensing 
a great variety of information into a comparatively small 
compass, and enabling the reader to find the point on which 
he is seeking light, without wasting his time in turning over 
the leaves. 
NEW AMERICAN FARM BOOK. 
Originally by BICHARD I.. ALLEN. 
Revised and greatly enlarged 
By LEWIS F. ALLEN. 
PRICE, POST-PAID, $2.50. 
Allen’s American Farm Book has been one of the standard 
farmers’ hand-books for twenty years; it is still a valuable 
book,but not up to the times; and as its anthor.Mr.R.L. Allen, 
could not give time to its revision, this was undertaken by 
liis brother, Hon. Lewis F. Allen, the distinguished'farmer 
of Erie county, editor of the American Shorthorn Herd- 
Book. The work is greatly enlarged, and full of suggestions 
from the rich experience of its editor and reviser, and is 
called the New American Farm Book. 
Either of the above books sent post-paid on receipt ot
