DATES OF. PUBLICATION 
HE DICTIONARY OF GARDENING having been first issued in the form of 
Monthly Parts, it is necessary to give here the extent of each part, and the date 
of its publication. This Table will be found useful in determining the first adoption of 
a new name, and for other purposes. 
In several instances, Plants will be found 
described under their correct names for the first time in any horticultural work.
