NEW EDITION OUT AFTER MAY 20. REDUCED TO $40.00 
BAILEY’S STANDARD CYCLOPEDIA OF HORTICULTURE 
The complete set of six volumes, in a new form of binding, will be delivered to you for only $4.00 down and 
$3.00 a month for 12 months, until the full amount of $40.00 has been paid. 
r T l HE New Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture has been freshly written in the light of the most recent research 
A and experience. It is not merely an ordinary revision or corrected edition of the old Cyclopedia, but it is a 
new work from start to finish with enlarged boundaries geographically and practically; it supercedes and displaces 
all previous editions or reprints of every kind whatsoever. It is the fullest, the newest, the most authoritative of 
all works of its kind and constitutes the most conscientious attempt that has ever been made to compress the whole 
story of our horticultural thought, learning and achievement into one set of books. The owner of the Standard 
Cyclopedia of Horticulture will have at hand in this work a means of quickly satisfying his need for authoritative 
information. It is both an Encyclopedia and a Manual. Amateur and professional alike may quickly identify 
any plant, shrub or fruit contained within the set, and then receive expert instructions for its cultivation. 
A FEW OF THE MANY IMPORTANT NEW FEATURES 
The Glossary 
Key to 
Identification 
of Plants 
Synopsis 
of Plant 
This is a device to enable one to find 
the name of a plant. The name thus 
found is quickly referred to under its 
alphabetical location, where full infor¬ 
mation will be found in regard to it. 
The key is so simple that it is useful to the veriest ama¬ 
teur and to the botanist or commercial expert. 
This is one of the most important features 
of the new edition. It constitutes a general 
running account of the classes, orders and 
Kingdom groups of plants, with a brief sketch or 
characterization of 215 of the leading 
families, comprising those that yield practically all the cul¬ 
tivated plants. These family descriptions give the botan¬ 
ical characters; the number of genera and species 
and the ranges; a list of the important genera; brief state¬ 
ments in regard to the useful plants; and diagrammatic 
illustrations. 
Illustrations There are 24 colored plates; 96 full page 
half-tones; and more than 4000 engrav¬ 
ings which serve as guides in the text. These color plates 
constitute the best possible combination of expert horti¬ 
cultural color photography and color printing, with a mas¬ 
tery in selection such as only Dr. Bailey’s knowledge can 
supply. 
The publishers of THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
have made arrangements with The MacMillan Company 
to supply a limited edition of this set to their readers on 
monthly terms—see coupon—and we can unqualifiedly 
recommend the work.
