" The Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture," pronounced by ex- 

 perts to be an absolute necessity for every horticulturist and of 

 tremendous value to every type of gardener, professional and ama- 

 teur, is rapidly nearing completion. Only one more volume after 

 this, the sixth, remains to be published. ''An indispensable work 

 of reference to every one interested in the land and its products, 

 whether commercially or professionally, as a student or an ama- 

 teur," is the Boston Transcripts characterization of it, while Horti- 

 culture adds that " it is very live literature for any one engaged in 

 any department of the horticultural field." 



" This really monumental performance will take rank as a stand- 

 ard in its class. Illustrations and text are admirable. . . . Our 

 own conviction is that while the future may bring forth amplified 

 editions of the work, it will probably never be superseded. Recog- 

 nizing its importance, the publishers have given it faultless form. 

 The typography leaves nothing to be desired, the paper is calcu- 

 lated to stand wear and tear, and the work is at once handsomely 

 and attractively bound." — New York Daily Tribune.
