Transcriber's Notes
Illustrations have been moved from their original locations so that the flow of paragraphs is not broken. Missing page numbers may occur where full-page illustrations have been moved. The quality of the illustrations is limited due to the low resolution of the source material.

Page [61]: "... necessary. When plants are set in ..." (had 'plans')
Page [107]: "... these respects we have varieties ..." (had 'resepcts')
Page [117]: "... the question, "What is the best ..." (had 'queston')
