The standard American dictionary of plants, flowering,

thing is arranged alphabetically from Aaron’s Beard to 
Zoeyphyllum; very complete descriptions are given, with 
full cultural instructions for everything of importance. 
A full list of popular names and all botanical terms are 
given; also a glossary of the technical terms used in de- 
scribing plants. A monthly calendar of operations for the 
greenhouse and window garden, flower, fruit and kitchen 
garden, renders it valuable as a book of reference; in short, 
there is sufficient matter given on all gardening subjects 
to allow this book to be termed The American Gardener’s 
Dictionary.

day show the popular estimation of the value set upon this

private gardens. It tells the whole story, from selection 
and treatment, of soils to marketing the produce; also covers 
the forcing of vegetables, strawberries, etc.
