OPINIONS OF THE HORTICULTURAL PRESS. 
The GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE says“ It 
is eminently practical and useful.” 
The GARDENERS’ MAGAZINE says “ It 
will certainly take, and probably keep, a leading 
place in the class of literature to which it 
belongs.” 
The GARDEN says:—“ It is undoubtedly the most 
exhaustive volume upon Vines and Vine-Culture 
ever published.” 
The JOURNAL OF HORTICULTURE says 
“ It is the most complete, and it will be accepted 
as the standard work on the Vine.” 
OPINIONS OF HORTICULTURALISTS.
