Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Floriculture Instruction in flower-growing has been given in American educational institutions for many years. Early in its history such instruction was a part of the curriculum of general horticulture, lectures in floriculture being given by those engaged in teaching other branches. Within the last ten years there has been, a breaking up of general horticultural instruction. Separate departments of pomology, market-gardening, and floriculture have been created, and each is supervised by one who devotes his entire time to his special subject. Floricultural education, as a distinct and separate department, is, therefore, of comparatively recent origin. Because of this, there are few precedents, and the courses given have resulted from the experiences of comparatively few men. The material here presented has been compiled largely from the author's lectures. The book is, therefore, the outgrowth of experience and general observations. Branches of the subject which seemed unimportant, and methods of teaching which proved ineffective, have been eliminated, and only those phases retained which have appeared to meet the needs of students. In the author's experience in teaching distinctly floricultural subjects, he has felt the need of a text-book. There are good books on special topics but no one work that treats of the general principles of flower-growing.

Chapters 5 to chapter 14 explainab out the tools, inputs and techniques used in crop management. Chapters 16 to chapter 19 deal with use of growth regulators, protected cultivation, good agricultural practices and organic horticulture. With the increase in pollution, people are keen to produce their own vegetables and chapter 20 focuses on that need of people. Chapter 21 provides an insight to applied biotechnology related to horticulture viz., micro propagation and genetic engineering. The chapters 22 and 23 shed light on the scope of aesthetic aspects of horticulture. Horticulture therapy is a novel concept to deal with present day health issues and this is explained in chapter 24. Climate change and irresponsible human behavior has caused stress conditions for crop growth and it is adequately dealt in chapter 25. It is estimated that at least 20 - 30 % of the horticulture produce is wasted as post-harvest loss and hence chapter 26 and 27 are designed to provide post-harvest handling and value addition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
