Gardening for Profit.. 
A Guide to tlir Successful Cultivation «v 
the. Market ancl Family Garden. 
By PETEK HENDERSON. 
Finely Illustrated. Priee, Post-paid, $1.50, 
The success of this book has probably not been equaled 
by that of any horticultural work of the present day. Its 
popularity is due to the fact that it tells just wliat people 
wish to know—the wayin which the author made money by 
gardening—and puts in a plain, striking light all the requi¬ 
sites to success. The writer was not afraid to have people 
know that lie cultivated his land for profit, and, more than 
that, he was quite willing that all should know and practice, 
if they chose, the very processes which he had found most 
conducive to the desired end. The late Horace Greeley said 
or this hook: “There are marvels of transformation and 
rapid reproduction recorded therein which might welt 
shame the dull fancy of the author of Aladdin or of Ivaloolah 
There is no theory about it; a man who lias made himselt 
rich by market-gardening plainly tells our young men how 
they can get rich as easily as ho did, and without wandering 
to California or Montana for it either." And tens of thou 
sands who have read and profited by the work could give 
similar testimony. It is unquestionably the most thorough 
and the best hook of its kind that has yet come from ths. 
hand of an American author.

Practical Floriculture. 
A Guide to tlie Successful Propagation anil 
Cultivation of Florists’ Plants. 
By I ’ K'r i’Vli UJEN”! IP.IJMOTN . 
Author ot “ 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 props 
nation explained, but the reader is taught how to plant an.: 
grow the plants after they have been propagated. The work 
is not one for florists and gardeners only, but 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 tor Profit.” and 
it holds a high place in the estimation of lovers ot 
floriculture.
