TO 
MAXWELL T. MASTERS, M.D. F.RS, F.LS: 
Dear Dr. Masters, 
Pray accept the dedication of a volume of the 
“ BorantcAL MaGazine,” a work which endeavours to promote 
views which you so prominently advocate — namely, the 
necessity of treating scientifically the results of Horticultural 
skill and enterprise. 
Believe me ever, 
Very sincerely yours, 
JOS. D. HOOKER.
