“UNIVERSAL 
FORGE PUMPS.” 
Secured by letters patent, July 28 th, 1876. 
After six years endeavor to fur¬ 
nish the most reliable force pumps 
in the market, the above pumps 
are respectfully offered, as the best 
results, in my judgment, of the 
public requirements. 
Their adaptability, great 
power, careful finish in de¬ 
tail, and consequent economy, 
will commend them. In case of 
accident, any part can be easily re¬ 
placed, without sacrificing the 
whole pump. They can be imme¬ 
diately converted from right to 
left-hand pumps, by swiveling 
the air-chamber and handle to any 
required angle with the snout. 
They are changeable from lift to 
force pumps. Are for the house 
, or for out-door wells of any depth, 
- and having close tops, can not be 
[’tampered with.— Also, Blunt’s 
Sand Vacuum Chambers.—A 
complete protection against sand 
or gritty water in dug or driven 
wells, pits, mines, and rivers. For hand or steam 
pumps, ail sizes, from lM-mch to 4-inch suction pipe.

Practical 
Floriculture. 
A Guide to tile Successful Propagation and 
Cultivation of Florists’ Plants. 
By PETER HENDERSON, 
Author of “ Gardening for Profit.” 
Beautifully Illustrated. Price , Post-paid, $1.50. 
In this 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, hut 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. 
The 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 the author, and much enlarged by the addition of valu¬ 
able matter. 
The following are a few of the subjects embraced in the 
latest edition: 
Laying out Flower Garden and Lawn; Designs for 
Grounds and for Greenhouses; Soils for Potting; Cold 
Frames; Hot-Ileds; Greenhouses Attached to Dwellings; 
Modes of Heating; Propagation of Plants by Seeds and by 
Cuttings; Culture of the Rose and Tuberose; Growing of 
■Winter-flowering Plants; Construction of Bouquets, Baskets, 
etc.; Parlor and Window-Gardening: Wnrdian-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.
