Tlie following voluntary notices of Mr. Henderson’s hooks 
are specimens of similar testimony from very many quarters. 
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 tlie 
cost of each more than one hundred times. Many thanks for 
what you are doing for tlie gardeners of tlie United States.” 
“ December 9 th, 1874. 
“ Your Gardening for Profit is what tlie Family Bible is to 
a good old Methodist—the only sure guide.” 
“ March 23 d, 1874. 
“If this should go to Mr. Henderson, I would say that I 
believe tlie gardeners of ttiis 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 Basil, and enjoy my¬ 
self as I never did before. Again I thank him.” 
Practical 
Floriculture.

Cultivation of Florists’ Plants. 
By IMUT’IUR HI7M MUIISON, 
Author of •‘Gardening for Profit.” 
Beautifully Illustrated. Price, Post-paid, $1.50. 
In tliis work, which lias everywhere become so deservedly 
popular, not only is the whole “ art and mystery ” of propa¬ 
gation explained, hut tlie reader is taught how to plant and 
grow tlie plants after they have been propagated. Tlie 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 tlie 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 tlie same radical common 
sense that marked tlie author's “ Gardening for Profit,” and 
it holds a high place in the estimation of lovers of 
floriculture. The new edition lias been thoroughly revised 
by tlie 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 Rose and Tuberose; Growing of 
Winter-flowering Plants; Construction of Bouquets, Baskets, 
etc.; Parlor and Window-Gardening: Wurdian-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.
