The marked effect with which the u Cottage Bee Keeper ” was 
received, as the first of the series of u Saxton’s Cottage and 
Farm .Library , 95 has led the Publisher to issue the present 
treatise on the Bose and the Dahlia. 
No pains will be spared in bringing out the succeeding volumes 
agreeably to the plan of the original design; and if practicable, it is 
hoped that they will be still more deserving of success than those 
which have already appeared. 
The publisher acknowledges his indebtedness to Messrs. Lea and 
Blanchard, of Philadelphia, for the permission granted for using Lan- 
dreth’s u Dictionary of Modern Gardening,” in the compilation of this 
work. He also takes this occasion to ,thank Mr. William H. Starr for 
the use of several engravings herein employed.
