Book Description

Excerpt from Choice Stove and Greenhouse Flowering Plants: Comprising Descriptions of Upwards of One Thousand Species and Varieties, Accompanied by Instructions for Their Cultivation and Mode of Management It is highly gratifying to us to find that the Second Edition of this work has had such a rapid sale, and has been circulated widely both on the Continent and in the Colonies, independent of the home demand; facts which show the opinions of Cultivators, Amateurs, and Gardeners respecting the utility of it. In preparing the Third Edition, it has been our aim to make it as complete as possible, by increasing the number of woodcuts, and adding all the most meritorious new species and varieties of Stove and Greenhouse Flowering Plants up to the present time; we have also added some cuts of Greenhouses, &c., from which our readers will be able to gain ideas as to the arrangement of their plants, and the forms in which they should be trained for exhibition or decorative purposes; these additions have greatly increased the size and cost of production of the work, and we have been reluctantly compelled to raise the price to 7/6, which we feel certain our readers will not object to.
