HE 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 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 ef its kind and constitutes the most conscientious attempt that has ever been made to compress the whole 
story of our horticidtural thought, learning and achievement into one set of books. The owner of the Standard 
Cyclopedia of Horticulture will liave 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, slirub or fruit contained within the set, and then receive expert instructions for its cultivation.
