HORTICULTURE

The Cyclopedia of American Horticulture

The Botanical Gazette declared in 1900:

To the botanist, the Cyclopedia is a mass of most valuable information, bringing together as it does, into available and properly edited form, the immense contribution of facts from horticulturists to the whole evolutionary doctrine, and enabling the morphologist to know what form he is handling and what has been done with it. The work should find a place in the libraries of all botanical laboratories as well as in those of practical horticulturists.
