The discipline which is concerned with the cultivation of ornamental as well as flowering plants for the floral industry is termed as floriculture. There are numerous types of crops which are dealt with under this field such as bedding plants, pot plants, houseplants and cut flowers. Some of the major flowering plants are orchids, poinsettias, florist chrysanthemums and florist azaleas. Numerous aspects of floriculture are applied in the farming of flowers such as spacing, training and pruning plants for optimal flower harvest. The diverse post-harvest treatments such as preservation, chemical treatment and packaging also fall within this field. This book covers in detail some existent theories and innovative practices revolving around floriculture. It presents this complex subject in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. This book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.

Principles of Floral Design: An Illustrated Guide introduces the hands-on skills and theory required to begin a career as a floral designer. This heavily illustrated textbook begins by introducing the floriculture industry and careers, the history of floriculture, and design principles and elements. The textbook then presents the various types of products used in floral designs, before progressing to common floral applications and events. This modern and visual introduction to floral design will appeal to students who are interested in careers in the industry and to those who take the course as a fine arts elective. Highly illustrated Step-by-Step Procedures throughout the textbook provide clear instruction covering floral design basics, such as taping and gluing, to creating full-size floral arrangements. The extensive end-of-chapter materials--including a chapter summary, review questions, critical thinking questions, STEM and academic activities, and ideas for SAEs--provide instructors with ample material for students to review and reinforce chapter material and help students connect floral design content to career and college readiness skills. Extensive illustrated glossaries of flowers, foliage, and potted and flowering plants serve as an excellent reference and as a study aid for student competitions.

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.
