To

Of Frensham Hall, Shottermill, Haslemere. 
Dear Mr. ELLs, 
As Editor of the Botanical Magazine, it is my privilege 
and pleasure to offer the dedication of the volumes to those whose 
intelligent and ardent love of Horticulture have contributed to a 
knowledge of Scientific Botany. 
That such has been the result of your devotion to gardening, the 
plant portraits in this Magazine bear good testimony, and I therefore 
ask you to accept the dedication of this volume in grateful acknow- 
ledgment. 
Believe me, 
Very sincerely yours, 
Jos. D. HOOKER.
