TWO OPINIONS 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. 
“ ^’ s 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.”
