Within the five years several horticulturists have passed away, whose biographies would have been proper 

 subjects for entry in the Cyclopedia. Among such losses are C. E. Bessey, who died February 25, 1915; H. E. 

 Van Deman, April 28, 1915; G. B. Brackett, August 2, 1915; Edwin Lonsdale, September 1, 1915; W. Atlee Bur- 

 pee, November 26, 1915; William Tricker, July 11, 1916; William S. Lyon, July 20, 1916; Jackson Dawson, 

 August 3, 1916; Ernest Walker, December 5, 1916; W. C. Barry, December 12, 1916. 



To spend five years in a review of the vegetable kingdom, with all its marvels and its unsolved problems, is in 

 itself a great privilege. If in addition one may see the applications to the desires of man, may hold associations 

 with several hundred enthusiastic and competent correspondents, may have relations with the commercial and 

 financial questions involved, and may at the same time catch some glimpse of the reaches of evolution and feel a 

 new contact with the earth, the making of a Cyclopedia of this kind becomes not a task but an experience in life. 

 The Editor hopes that the reader may share some of these prospects. The Editor is well aware of the shortcomings 

 of the volumes and he would like to do the work all over again for the delight of it; but this reward must be left 

 for other hands in the years that are to come.
