This great work comprises directions for the cultiva- 

 tion of horticultural crops and original descriptions of 

 all the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers and orna- 

 mental plants known to be in the market in the United

 presenting for the first time, in a carefully arranged

 ment is very systematic, clear and convenient for ready 

 reference."
