III. OF BOOKS AXTi rERIODICALS 



To aid the student in the verification of the 

 work, and to introduce liini to the literature of the 

 various subjects, citations are made to the por- 

 traits of plants in the leading periodicals to 

 which the American is most likely to have access. 

 These references to pictures have been verified as 

 far as possible, both in the MS. and in tlie proof. 

 A uniform method of citation is much to be de- 

 sired, but is extremely difficult, because periodi- 

 cals rarely agree in methods. With great reluc- 

 tance it was decided to omit the year in most 

 cases, because of the pressure for space, but the 

 student who lacks access to the original volumes 

 may generally ascertain the year by consulting the 

 bibliographical notes below. 



An arliitrary ami brief method of citation has 

 been chosen. At the outset it seemed best to indi- 

 cate wliethei' the cited ])icture is colored or not. 

 This accounts for the two ways of citing certain 

 publications containing both kinds of pictures, 

 as The Garden, Revue Horticole, and Gartenfloi'a. 



The figures given below explain the method of 

 citation, and incideutally give sonni hints as to 

 the imrnber of volumes to date, and of the uundter 

 of pages or plates in one of the latest volumes. 



A few works of the greatest importance are 

 mentioned elsewhere by way <if arknowledgraent 

 (p. XV). The standard works on tlie bibliography 

 of botany are Pritzel's Thesaurus and Jackson's 

 <Tiiide to tlie Literature of Botany; also, .Taekson's 

 Catalogue of tlie Library of the Ivoyal Botanic 

 Gardens, Kew.
