Practical Floriculture 
A GUIDE TO THE 
Successful Propagation and Cultivation. 
OF 
FLORISTS’ PLANTS. 
BY 
PETER HENDERSON, 
Author of “ Gardening for Profit.” 
BERGEN CITY, N. J. 
Mr. Ileiiderson is known as the largest Commercial 
Florist in the country. In the present work he gives a 
full account of his modes of propagation and cultivation. 
It is adapted to the wants of the amateur, as well as the 
professional grower. 
NOTICES BY FLORISTS AND OTHERS. 
Certainly the most practical and desirable work that 
has ever been published on this subject. We are selling 
them rapidly. Some no doubt will say that it exposes 
the “ secrets ” of the Trade too freely, and that it will 
make Gardeners and Propagators so plenty that our oc¬ 
cupation, like Othello’s, will be gone. H. A. Diieer, 
Seedsman and Florist, Philadelphia, Pa. 
Truly “ practical,” and ought to be in the hands of 
every one engaged in the culture of Flowers. 
T. C. Maxwell & Bros., Geneva, N. Y. 
It might be entitled “ Floriculture Made Easy.” I do 
not see why any one with ordinary common sense should 
not succeed, with this book in his bands. 
L. C. Lishy, Florist, Nashville, Term. 
No work ever before published in this country was 
practically valuable to those in want of direct informa¬ 
tion (upon this subject). Wii. Saunders, 
Sup’t Dep’t of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. 
Just the work for the young Florist or Amateur, as it 
tells him clearly there is no such thing as failure, if its 
simple teachings are followed. 
Galvin & Geraghty, Florists, Newport, R. I. 
What is wonderful, the most of our Professional Flo¬ 
rists here frankly admit their indebtedness to the work 
for information and suggestions. I am only an amateur 
in flowers, but feel gratefully indebted to its author for 
the pleasure its perusal has given. 
George W. Sanders, Baltimore, Md. 
Without exception the most practical work on Flori¬ 
culture-in the English language. AH the prosy fossils of
