Opinions of the Work. 
“We do not hesitate to commend this work to our readers, whether fruit-crowers, 
gardeners, gentlemen of leisure or of whatever profession, for it contains such information 
as it will take scores of books to give, and cannot fail to both interest and instruct every 
reader.” —Canadian Horticulturist. 
“The information is precisely what the horticulturist and general reader is desirous of 
knowing.” —Scientific American. 
“Tn range, treatment and editing emphatically useful—worthy of ranking by the side 
of the Century Dictionary.” —The Nation. 
“As showing the earnest endeavor to be quite up to date, the very complete note on 
Horticulture in the Hawaiian Islands may be cited; halfa page and over is devoted to this 
item. 
“Grapes, American and European, grafting, the history and principle of greenhouse 
construction, forcing of fruits are all ably treated.” —American Gardening. 
“Tt is a work for the gardener to gloat over, for the student of Horticulture to pore 
over, and for one who is neither of these to delight in possessing.” —Chicago Tribune. 
“While the entire work will cost $20.00, it will be money well spent by any owner of 
an orchard or even a gardener. It will be to the farmer what the Century Dictionary is to 
the literary man.” —San Francisco Chronicle. 
The Price is $5.00, net, for each volume, and the work is sold by subscription. 
Circulars and full information will be supplied by the publishers on application.
