// is not a simple task to compile a Gardening Book even for 

 beginners, and it would be still more difficult and arduous to do so 

 without assistance from many kind friends, whose knowledge of the 

 various portions of the book to which they have given their special 

 attention is unquestionable. It is a great pleasure to mention 

 them by name : Miss JEKYLL, Mr. H. J. CHAPMAN, Mr. A. DEAN, 

 Mr. JAMES DOUGLAS, Mr. F. W. FITZHERBERT, Mr. JENKINS, 

 Mr. RICHARD PARKER, Mr. G. S. SAUNDERS, Mr. H. THOMAS, 

 Mr. WYTHES, and others.
