PREFACE.
This small work is intended to supply a want long
felt by the Amateur Floriculturist, for such a guide to
t^e treatment of the various flowering plants as would
enable him, though the merest tyro in gardening, to
cultivate them successfully.
Many very valuable works on the subject of Flori-
culture have issued from the press of Britain and
America, but I am not aware Of any that has addressed
itself, as is proposed here, to the mcx'e beginner. Some
are limited to the cultivation of particular classes of
plants ; others are too elaborate and expensive ; while
some again are mere catalogues. And in addition to
this, however useful in the hands of the more expe-
rienced gardener, they are necessarily unsuited to the
novice in floriculture in this Province, where the
climate is sovery differentfromthat for whichthey were
intended. In this respect the Cottage Florist may be
reliedon withsafety, prepared, asithas been,exclusively
for the Province of Ontario.
Trusting, then, that this unpretending volume may
meet the want thus felt,'and tend to promote a taste
—
for the beautiful civilizing and elevating the commu-
—
nity the author now submits it into the hands of the
public.
