Page's Home Floriculture: A Complete Guide for the Growing of Flowers in the House and Garden (Classic Reprint)

The prime object in preparing this book is to simplify the culture of flowers so that every one can succeed with them, and thus make them more popular everywhere. While there have been many books on the culture of flowers, still almost without exception they are prepared either for the benefit of professional florists or are written in such a manner that they are not readily understood by the amateur. Technical terms and phrases and botanical words are used which obscure the meaning to the ordinary reader. The few really practical books on this subject which have been published are sold at a price which puts them out of reach of persons who have but little space or means to devote to flowers. For more than twenty-five years I have been actively interested in this subject, being connected with a large firm of seedmen, bulb growers and florists and at the present time have several greenhouses and more than ten acres of flowers growing on my home place. I have also traveled extensively among the leading growers and specialists in this line in the various parts of this country andE urope, and for five years was editor of a horticultural Magazine. In Home Floriculture I have tried to combine the information secured from various sources, in such a manner that it will be of practical interest to the readers of this book. That it may prove of great benefit is the earnest desire of THE AUTHOR.
