TWO OPINIOHS OF THE NEW CYCLOPEDIA 



" No one who knows anything at all about the literature of gar- 

 dening needs to be told that the Cyclopedia is unique. It is the 

 Bible and Britannica of the garden-folk, amateur and professional 

 alike. And the remarkable thing is that while it is fundamentally a 

 work of reference, it also contains limitless quantities of good read- 

 ing of the sort dear to the heart of the garden enthusiast.'' — The 

 Nation. 



" It is no exaggeration to state that Bailey's new work is the best 

 Cyclopedia obtainable for all who are connected, either remotely or 

 intimately, as amateurs or professionals, with horticultural pursuits." 

 — The Florists^ Review.
