Of course it is not a cyclopedia of 

 horticulture, even on the smallest scale; 

 it is not bulky enough to contain cul- 

 tural directions or descriptions of va- 

 rieties, except such descriptions as are 

 embodied in brief definitions. It is 

 simply a book of definitions. And it 

 does not define the first word of varie- 

 tal names, but the following words, the 



words that distinguish varieties from 

 one another. For instance, in the 

 names Asparagus plumosus and Phlox 

 subulata, the book gives the meaning 

 of "plumosus" (feathery or plumed), 

 and of "subulata" (awl-shaped), as 

 these are the words that differentiate 

 that particular sort of asparagus and 

 that particular sort of phlox from other 

 varieties in the same genus. But the 

 user of the book would hunt in it in 



vain for the word "asparagus" or 

 "phlox." And, as the author states in 

 the preface, "complimentary names of 

 persons given to plants have been 

 omitted." 



In using the dictionary it will be 

 helpful to bear in mind that the Latin
