to the study of which Mr. BAKE has devoted many years. Mr. J. GARRETT is 

 responsible, as in the First Volume, for the preparation of the articles relating to 

 Fruit and Vegetable Culture, for most of what appertains to Florists' Flowers, and 

 for General Gardening "Work. 



Professor J. W. H. TKAIL, M.D., F.L.S., &c., has supplied the articles in this 

 volume on Fungi, Insects, Diseases of Plants, the Nectary, Orchid Fertilisation, 

 Ovary, Ovule, &c. As Dr. TRAIL has made Plant Diseases a special study, and as the 

 information he gives is more full and complete than any available in other gardening 

 works, this feature of the DICTIONARY OP GARDENING will doubtless prove of both con- 

 siderable interest and value. 



The Rev. P. W. MYLES, B.A., has taken much trouble in working out the correct 

 derivations of the generic names, and a large number which are inaccurately given in 

 most books, are, in this, corrected.
