Floriculture. 
A Guide to the Successful Propagation and 
Cultivation of Florists’ Plants. 
By PETER HENCERSON, 
Author of “ Gardening for Protit.” 
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, but the reader is taught how to plant and 
grow tlie 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 gi ow 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 for Profit,” 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. 
The 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;
