An ENCYCLOPAEDIA of GARDENING; 



Comprising the Theory and Practice of Horticulture, Floriculture, Arbo- 

 riculture, and Landscape Gardening ; including all the latest Improvements, 

 a general History of Gardening in all Countries ; and a Statistical View of 

 its present State, with Suggestions for its future Progress, in the British 

 Isles. 



By J.C. LOUDON, F.L.S. H.S. &c., 



Author of " A Treatise on forming and improving Country Residences." 

 Complete, in One large Volume, 8vo. of 1500 Pages, closely printed, 

 with Six Hundred Engravings on Wood, Price 2. 10s. 



This Work claims the Attention of the Public : 



1. By the comprehensiveness of its plan, by which, for the first time, 

 every part of the subject of Gardening is brought together^ and presented in 

 one systematic whole. 



2. By its being the only work which contains all the modern improvements 

 in Gardening, foreign as well as domestic. 



3. By the addition of a Kalendanal Index, by which the practical part of the 

 work may be consulted monthly, as the operations are to be performed ; and 

 a copious General Index, by which the whole may be consulted alphabetically. 

 Thus the work will serve as a Gardener s Kalendar, and Gardener s Dic- 

 tionary : both, it is confidently hoped, far more complete than any hitherto 

 presented to the public. 



By means of a copious page, by condensed descriptive tables of fruits, 

 culinary vegetables, and flowers, and by the local introduction of such illus- 

 trative engravings as greatly shorten the necessity of verbal description, this 

 immense body of matter has been comprised in one thick volume.
