 cultivated plant life. Everything is arranged alphabetically from Aaron's 

 Beard to Zogyphyllum; very complete descriptions are given, with full cul- 

 tural 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 describing 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 Dic- 

 tionary.
