CULTIVATOR'S GUIDE TO THE ARTICLES 



The numerals refer to pages when the articles are not in the regular alphabetic sequence 



The articles in the Cyclopedia are of four general 

 classes: (1) cultural directions for the gardener, fruit- 

 grower, vegetable-gardener, florist, and home planter; 

 (2) identification, comprising the botanical accounts of 

 genera, species and varieties; (3) general information 

 about plants, comprising much of the introductory 

 material in Vol. I and articles in the alphabetic text as 

 Autumn Colors, Bull Horn, Color, Standards of Color, 

 Cactus, Cloves, Education, Experiment Stations, 

 Extension Teaching, Gums and Resins, Herbarium, 

 Horticulturists, Horticultural Literature, Names and 

 Nomenclature, Sap, Saprophyte, Transpiration, Varie- 

 gation, Xenia, and many others; (4) geographical arti- 

 cles, comprising British North America, Island Depen- 

 dencies, North American States. 



The identificational and informational articles 

 appear, for the most part, in regular alphabetic order. 

 The cultural directions, however, are in part contained 

 in class articles of many kinds, inasmuch as they have 

 only indefinite alphabetic designation. With each 

 important generic entry, cultural directions will be 

 found, as under Wisteria, Rhamnus, Ardisia, Pyrola, 

 Ixora, Torenia, and the others throughout the six 

 volumes; aside from these directions, however, are 

 many others of special importance and interest, and 

 these others are here listed and classified in such a way 

 that the cultivator may have the range before him and 

 be aided in finding the advice he desires.
