HOW CROPS GROW. 
A Treatise on the Chemical Composition, Structure, and 
Life of the Plant. With numerous illustrations and tables 
of analyses. By Prof. Samuel W . Johnson, of 
Yale College. Price $2.00. 
This book is a guide to the knowledge of agricultural 
plants, their composition, their structure, and inodes of de¬ 
velopment and growth; of the complex organization of 
plants, and the uses of the parts, the germination of seeds 
and the food of plants, obtained both from the air and the 
soil. Very full and accurate tables of analyses are given, 
and tables of the proportions existing between different 
principles, oily, starchy, or nitrogenous, in the same and 
different plants. The book is an invaluable one to all real 
students of agriculture. 
Another work by the same author is now In press, enti¬ 
tled “ How Crops Feed,” In which the subject of the Food 
of the Plant is ampliiled in all Its details, and the atmosphere 
and the soil are fully discussed in their manifold relations to 
the Plant. 
THE PRACTICAL POULTRY KEEPER. 
A Complete and Standard Guide to the Management of 
Poultry, whether for Domestic Use, the Markets, or Exhibi¬ 
tion. Illustrated with twelve full page plates, and numerous 
smaller cuts. By L. TV right. Price $2.00. 
The design of the author of this work was to prepare in¬ 
structions that could be put into the hands of a person in¬ 
experienced in poultry keeping, with the reasonable cer¬ 
tainty that those instructions, if followed, would command 
success. The volume Is the fruit of a thorough practical ex¬ 
perience and knowledge of fowls, and it is believed that it 
will be found a plain and sufficient guida to the young poultry 
keeper In any circumstances that arc likely to occur to him ; 
whilst experienced breeders will also find hints which will 
be useful to them. Special attention lias been paid to prac¬ 
tical management, and the different breeds have not been 
overlooked; of every leading variety, at least, sufficient 
description has been given to answer every purpose of the 
fancier. 
PRACTICAL FLORICULTURE. 
A guide to the successful propagation and cultivation of 
Florists’ Plants. By Peter Henderson, author of “ Gar¬ 
dening for Profit,” Beautifully illustrated. Price $1.50. 
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 “ se¬ 
crets ” of the Trade too freely, and that it will make Garden¬ 
ers and Propagators so plenty that our occupation, like 
Othello's, will be gone.— H. A. Dreer, Seedsman and Florist, 
Phila., Pa. 
Full to overflowing with valuable information. 
Francis Richardson, Toronto, Canada. 
Thoroughly practical, yet readable as a novel. N. Y. Sun. 
Just the work for the young Florist or Amateur, as It tells 
him clearly there is no such thing a 3 failure, if its simple 
teachings are followed. 
Galvin & Geragiity, Florists, Newport, R. I. 
NEW AMERICAN FARM BOOK. 
Originallyby IticJiard JL. Allen. Revised and greatly 
enlarged by Lewis F. Allen. Price $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.butnotupto the times; and as its author,Mr.ILL.Allen, 
could not give time to its revision, tills was undertaken by 
his brother, Hon. Lewis F. Allen, the distinguished farmer 
of Erie county, editor of the American Short-horn Herd- 
Book. The work is greatly enlarged, and full of suggestions 
from the rich experience of its editor and reviser, and is 
called the Yew American Farm Book. 
HERBERT’S HINTS TO HORSE KEEPERS. 
By the late Henry William Herbert (Frank 
Forester). Price $1.73. 
A complete manual for Horsemen, embracing: How to 
Breed a Horse; How to Bny a Horse; How to Break a 
Horse ; How to Use a Horse; How to Feed a Horse; How 
to Pliysic a Horse; How to Drive a Horse, etc.; and a chapter 
on Mules and Ponies, etc. Beautifully illustrated. 
GARDENING FOR PROFIT. 
A Guide to the successful cultivation of the Market and 
Family Garden. By Peter Henderson. Finely illus¬ 
trated. Price $1.50. 
There arc marvels of fransformation, and rapid reproduc¬ 
tion recorded therein, which might well shame the dull fancy 
of the author of Aladdin or of Kaloolah. There is no theory 
about it; a man who has made himself rich by market-gar¬ 
dening plainly tells our young men how they can get rich as 
easily as lie did, and without wandering to California or 
Montana for it either. If. Greeley in the N. Y. Tribune. 
This is no stilted, impractical work. It is from the pen of 
a practical and successful gardener. It contains plain, un¬ 
affected talk, and facts such as every man going into gar¬ 
dening as a business will be glad to obtain. We can recom¬ 
mend it to every owner of a garden.—Cincinnati Weekly 
Gazette. 
PARSONS ON THE ROSE, 
A Treatisa on the Propagation, Culture, and History of 
tho Rose. Revised and newly electrotyped. Illustrated. 
By Samuel B. Parsons. Trice $1.50. 
Tho Rose is the only flower that can be said to have a his¬ 
tory. It is popular now and was so centuries ago. In his 
work upon the Rose, Mr. Parsons has gathered up tho curi¬ 
ous legends concerning the flower, and gives us an idea of 
the esteem in which it was held in former times. A simple 
garden classification has been adopted, and the leading vari¬ 
eties under each class enumerated and briefly described. 
The chapters on multiplication, cultivation, and training, 
are very full, and the work is altogether the most complete 
of any before the public.
