Vick's Floral Guide.

By Editor

WHEN we were itinerating in the East, we had the pleasure of introducing Vick's Floral Guide into many households, whereby many desert spots were made to blossom as the rose, and many hearts were made glad by the ornaments for their houses, which they were enabled to obtain at trifling cost.

The Guide for 1882 is on our table. It is equal to its predecessors, which is praise enough. An eastern paper says: "Those who send 10 cents to James Vick, Rochester, N. Y., for it, will be disappointed. Instead of getting a cheap thing, as the price would seem to indicate, they will receive a very handsome work of 130 pages, and perhaps 1,000 illustrations—not cheap, but elegant illustrations, on the very best of calendered paper, and as a set-off to the whole, two beautiful colored plates that are worth twice the price of the book."

We dealt for years with Mr. Vick, for ourselves and others, and were more than satisfied with his manner of treating his customers. We consider that we do a favor to our readers to recommend the Guide and its publisher.
