BAILEY’S BRAND NEW STANDARD 
Cyclopedia of Horticulture 
The National Nurseryman, by special arrange¬ 
ment with the publishers, offers this work on 
easy terms. Six large quarto volumes. More 
than 3,600 pages. 24 full page exquisite color 
plates. 96 beautiful full page sepia halftones. 
More than 4,000 text engravings. 500 Colla¬ 
borators. Approximately 4,000 genera, 15,000 
species and 40,000 plant names. 
The new Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture has been 
freshly written in the light of the most recent research and 
experience. It is not merely an ordinary revision or cor¬ 
rected edition of the old Cyclopedia, but it is a new work 
from start to finish with enlarged boundaries geographi¬ 
cally and practically; it supercedes and displaces all pre¬ 
vious editions or reprints of every kind whatsoever. It is 
both an Encyclopedia and a Manual, for with the aid of 
its Synopsis and Key, amateur and professional alike may 
quickly Identify any plant, shrub or fruit contained within 
the set, and then receive expert instructions for its cultiva¬ 
tion.
