By Peter Henderson. Orange, Judd Co., 1887.

This is a "new and enlarged edition," and it is a pleasure to say that this is not to be taken in the sense in which such booksellers' announce-ments are often made - a mere word or two added here and there - but an honest and hard working attempt to give the experience of Mr. Henderson down to the latest date.

We often hear people discuss what has had most to do with the present prosperous condition of American floriculture; for, unbiased judges - in England especially - decide that American floriculture - we mean floriculture as a business and not simply as a part of gardening - stands in a very high position before the gardening world. There have been many causes for this, and we believe the efforts of the Gardeners' Monthly to spread a knowledge of every thing that will give a charm to gardening have had their full share in the good work. But all will agree that Mr. Henderson's labors, and especially his work on "Practical Floriculture," have been of immense influence in the good work, and he may well feel proud of his share in the result.
