languages, both ancient and modern, 

 inanimate things are not necessarily 

 neuter, but may have any one of the 

 three genders, masculine, feminine or 

 neuter, for various clear or hazy rea- 

 sons. In the dictionary the adjectives 

 generally have the masculine ending, 

 which is most frequently "us," as in 

 "plumosus," but the word under consid- 

 eration — the word that the user of the 

 book wishes to find — may have a fem- 

 inine ending, as in "plumosa" (Cocos 

 plumosa, for example), or a neuter end- 

 ing, as in "callosum" (Cypripedium 

 callosum), or another form of the 

 neuter ending, as in "insigne" (Cypri- 

 pedium insigne). "Insigne," by the 

 way, has a form "insignis," which is 

 either masculine or feminine, and there 

 are many words the masculine form of 

 which ends in "r," as in "acer," and 

 even with these the tiresome list of 

 terminations is not quite terminated. 

 Now, even if a florist is not well ac- 

 quainted with these endings and does 

 not care to seek an acquaintance with 

 them, yet he will be able to use the 



book more satisfactorily if he will just 

 remember that these pestiferous little 

 endings really exist, and that their 

 existence is legalized and protected, as 

 it were, by the botanists. 



The book is for sale by The Eeview 

 at the publishers' price. 



SCIENCE AND HORTICULTURE.

their heating system; or some physical 

 condition of their soil may bother them, 

 or a thousand and one other things, all 

 of which they would be able to meet and 

 combat more intelligently if they had a 

 fair grasp of natural causation, or the 

 why and the wherefore of things. 



Science Practically Applied. 



A grasp of the rudiments of plant 

 physiology would enable the grower to 

 treat the various diseases of his plants 

 more intelligently and to appreciate 

 something of what happens when a plant 

 becomse too dry or too wet. A little 

 knowledge of chemistry, so as to know 



the essential elements of plant nutrition 

 and what the various commercial fer- 

 tilizers contain, would enable him to buy 

 more understandingly and might per- 

 haps teach him that excessive nitrogen 

 tends to luxuriant foliage at the expense 

 of fruitfulness and floriferousness. It 

 should help him to know the simple test 

 with blue litmus paper as to the acidity 

 of his soil, and might prevent him from 

 making such mistakes as planting rhodo- 

 dendrons in an alkaline or limy soil. 

 Some geological knowledge would be 

 helpful in selecting a locality for special 

 purposes. 



A grounding in natural science would 

 teach him that the slope or pitch of his 

 greenhouse roof has an important bear- 

 ing on the amount of light that reaches 

 his plants and that it is these chemical 

 rays that enable the plants to digest and 

 utilize their food. Natural science would 

 also show him that this most desirable 

 slope varies with every degree of lati- 

 tude that we travel, north or south, and 

 would give him an idea of the laws 

 governing the circulation of the water
