“It is not presumptuous, we think, to express our conviction that this volume will supply a want which has long existed in Gardening Literature. We so think because all previous Dictionaries concerning plants are rendered more or less deficient for horticultural purposes by being too much occupied with botanical details; by being too large and expensive for general use; by being too old to include more than a small number of the plants now cultivated; or from being the production of one writer, necessarily imperfect in one or more departments in which his knowledge happened to be deficient. It is believed that ‘The Cottage Gardeners’ Dictionary’ is free from all these objections. Its botanical details are no more than sufficient as a guide to fuller knowledge of the plants; it is the cheapest ever issued from the press; it includes all plants known as desirable for culture at the date of publication; and every detail of cultivation is either from the pen, or has passed under the supervision, of those well known for appropriate skilfulness.”—Preface.
