We offer this in the New and Revised Edition of 
Johnson’s Gardeners’ Dictionary 
and Cultural Instructor 
JUST OUT 
Edited by J. Fraser, F.L.S., F.R.H.S. and A. Hemsley 
Recognized the world over as the most complete and compact HORTI- 
CULTURAL DICTIONARY extant. Covers the whole field of horticulture 
and floriculture in 923 pages of closely set type. 
Immensely useful to all flower lovers and of particular value to all who 
have to refer frequently to names, explaining the name of every plant in 
cultivation, when the plant was introduced, from what country it comes and 
other similar facts, together with short cultural and propagation hints. Many 
plants bear a number of names, but the matter has been simplified by giving 
each in its alphabetical sequence, and whichever name the reader happens 
to know will direct him or her to the correct one. 
Johnson’s Dictionary deals with every phase of gardening, from flower 
pots to orchid culture, and mossy lawns to tools and tool houses. Brief 
instructions are given for the proper method of cultivating the species of 
every genus listed, including the most suitable soil, the best methods of 
propagation, and whether hardy or requiring greenhouse or stove protection. 
Fruits receive special attention, each kind having a more or less lengthy 
article devoted to its cultivation. Every' garden vegetable is discussed in 
detail, in proportion to its importance, with regard to the best methods of 
cultivation, most suitable soil, handiest or most expedient ways of propaga- 
tion and rearing. Herbs are dealt with similarly. A description of all the 
more common diseases, insect pests and other enemies are given, together with 
methods of prevention and remedy.
