PAXTON'S POCKET BOTANICAL 

 DICTIONARY. 



In what may be called an age of Cyclopaedias, when the com- Gas 

 nression of a great variety of information into one volume, in re- 

 order to bring it within the means of persons of all ranks, is so 

 universally sought, it is evidently desirable that the Gardener, 

 and those connected with his profession, should be as well 

 accommodated as other classes in this particular. No such work 

 existing, however, prior to the issue of the present publication, 

 its value will be at once apparent; since it combines the more 

 essential features of a Botanical Catalogue, a Horticultural 

 Guide, and a Technical Glossary. . 



Besides being of this comprehensive description, it is especially 

 adapted for the Amateur and Floriculturist ; who may, by carry- 

 ing it in his pocket, examine all the plants that are at any time 

 submitted to his inspection, and immediately d5» vc «™7 ti 1 " t * 1 ; 

 ligence respecting the peculiarities or affinities of PMticalar 

 species which could reasonably be wished for This is an advan- 

 tagethat can only be sufficiently estimated by those who have 

 felt the want of such an assistant; and to all such individuals 

 as well Soever? agent or friend of Horticulture, the Pocket 

 Botanical Dictionary is decidedly indispensaole.
