 vacation. Visitors will find much to

publii-. The present reviewer saiil some 

 einpliatic words in jJiaise ot' tiie first 

 volume, feeling sure - absoliitidy sine 

 tiiat he was safely witliin the boiin 

 daiies of tlie truth in doing so. and 

 the s<^coiid book in the l)ig sextette 

 seems to lie worthy of as strong coni- 

 inendation. The great expectations 

 aroused in the first volume are not dis 

 a|i|ioiiited in tiie seiond on('. The sec 

 oil. I volume, like the first one, beai> 

 iinmistakalde evidence, not simply of 

 i-arcd'ul .-ind sidiolaily revision, but of 

 tile rewriting of entire aiti<des when 

 ever brand new matter was desir.-ilde. 



I'.iit. while thus drawing attention to 

 the ihaii^es that have been macle in 

 the cycloiiedia, while laying stress on 

 the ditVerences between the old cvido 

 jieijia and the new one. it may be well 

 also to s]i(';ik ot' the resembhiiiie-- be 

 tweeii them, for the resi'inldaiices are 

 as striking ;is ;ire the differences. Sonir 

 of the c haracteristirs of the former e.li 

 tion, especially its general style of ai 

 i.angemeiit, wiuild ha\t> been dillicult to 

 improve and tliend'ore they remain iin. 

 altered in the new books. lb-nee the 

 [lagi's. on the w lode, have the familiar 

 ap|iear;iiice id' old t'rieiid>. 



l"or instance, one of the features 

 whi(di distingiiislieij the old eilition of 

 liailev's cycjopedi;! from some other 

 horticiiltiiral dictionaries was i'ailev's 

 manner of arranging the names of spe 



lies under the name o!' the lienus. and 

 thi-. method of a iia nufinent is retained 

 in the new edition. The (litVerent va- 

 rieties ill a genus or t'amily of jilants 

 are not aiiaiigt>il alph.aliet irally under 

 tlie n.ame of the yeniis. but ait' grouped 

 acrordiiig to their horticultural connec 

 tion or atfinitv. and are (piitd\ly found 

 liv means ot' a separ.ate alphabetical 

 index wlii( li acToin|iaiiies the (lescrip 

 tion of each ;;eiius. exrept in cases 

 where the genus is sd small as not to 

 iei|iiire suidi an ilhlex. In idher vvor.ls. 

 the names ot' the nieiiibeis of a plant 

 t'amilv. like the names ol' the individ- 

 uals in the successi\-e generations ot' a 

 liniiiaii t'amilv. are pl.aced in oider ac- 

 coi'diii:^ to their lieiiealony, their his 

 toiv. their t'amilv resemblances and 

 other I'eculiarities of ndatioiiship. 

 I sei's ol' the cy( lopedia siuill becinue 

 accustomed to this arrangement and 

 appreciate its advantages 



.\fter all, Bailey's cyclopedia is not 

 ;;reatly in need of coinmendation. siiu-e 

 there is scarcely anyone who would 

 dis|iute its high staiidinu' or its prac 

 tical iisefiilness. but tliei-e are man.v 

 people who just neeil to be remin.led 

 that they ought to possess a first das- 

 horticultural cyclopeili;i and that a new 

 edition ot" such .a cyclopedia is miw 

 being jirepared for them. It is for sal.'

 are oft'ered liv the iiuldisliers.
