Description
Excerpt from A Guide to Floriculture: Containing Instructions to the Young Florist
In presenting the following pages to the public, I consider it incumbent upon me to state the reasons which have induced their publication in the present form.
Most of the chapters in this work were written, at leisure moments, for a Horticultural Magazine, formerly published in this place. That work having been for a long time suspended, many of my female friends have solicited me to publish them in the form of a book. In compliance with their solicitations I have been induced to collect and arrange them, together with additional matter, in the hope of thereby furnishing a work that might be useful to those amateur florists who possess more taste for Floriculture than knowledge of the principles and practice by which it should be directed. I have endeavored, according to the best of my humble ability, to make the subject as intelligible, and to present its prominent principles encumbered with as few difficulties or embarrassments, as possible.
