INDEX 



[To give additional value to the Handbook it was deemed advisable to add to the Glossary a num- 

 ber of brief articles relating to the best methods of culture, the most useful implements now in use, 

 insects and their destruction, modes of propagation, and other useful subjects, which, placed as they 

 are, seemed to require an Index for more convenient reference; and in addition mention is also made in 

 tho Index of some of the more popular and important plants in the body of the work, and which are 

 now extensively grown by the florist, the fruit grower, and the market gardener.]
