PREFACE. 
I have endeavored to meet their views; and my plan of Floriculture may 
be carried into effect by any lady who can command the services of an old 
man, a woman, or a stout boy. In the present Edition, the publishers have 
added a paper on Window Gardening, written by Mr. M’Intosh-—and 
another on Domestic Greenhouses, an apparatus by which a small collec¬ 
tion of exotics may be given in great perfection, and by a process which 
any lady may superintend with much gratification. In every other respect 
the work is the result of my own experience, and I dedicate it to all of it y 
own sex who delight in flowers, and yet cannot allow themselves t<r enter 
b»to great expense in their cultivation.
