Miller, Philip (cent*) 
The gardeners dictionairy. [Extracts] 
A large number of treatises on gardening 
and popular manuals of cultivated plants have 
been extracted from Miller’s dictionary, with 
or without additional material from other 
sources. Some of these are usually credited 
to the compiler or editor, but others appear 
to be anonymous, Pritsel ed.l, gives a n\im- 
ber of these works under Miller, and we list 
here the more important ones that have come 
to our notice.
