 persons who, though interested in plants, have no knowledge of Botany, and 

 neither time nor inclination to acquire it. The phraseology is plain and the 

 descriptions are easily comprehensible ; yet the book contains material never 

 before presented, relating to varieties of plants developed under cultivation.
