“CHAMPION” HOG RINGER, RINGS, ami HOLDER. 
The only Kin? invented that will effectually prevent Hogs from Rooting. Be¬ 
ing a Double Ring, and having no sharp points in the flesh, it does not cause ir¬ 
ritation or soreness, as in other Rings. The smooth part of the wire being in the 
nose, it heals rapidly. One of our rings being equal to two or three of any other 
ring, makes this ring cheaper than the cheapest. Time and money saved in using 
the Champion. One operation, and the work is done. 
Price of Hog Ringer, 75c. each ; Coppered Rings, 50c. per 1 00 ; 
Tinned Hog Rings, 00c. per 100 ; Hog Holder, 75c. each.

By PETER HENDERSON. 
Finely Illustrated. Price, Post-paid, SI.50. 
The following voluntary notices of Mr. Henderson’s hooks

February 8 th, 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 the 
cost of each more than one hundred times. Many thanks for

“ Tour Gardening for Profit is what tlie Family Bible is to 
a good old Methodist—tlie only sure guide.” 
“March 23 d, 1874. 
“If this 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."

Floriculture. 
A Guide to the Successful Propagation and 
Cultivation of Florists* Plants. 
By BETEB 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, but tlie 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 tlie author’s “Gardening lor rrofit," 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. 
Tlie 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-Beds; Greenhouses Attached to Dwellings; 
Modes of Heating; Propagation of Plants by Seeds and by 
Cuttings; Culture of the Kose 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; Tlie Profits of Flori¬ 
culture ; How to Become a Florist, etc., etc.
