Its illustrations comprise practical as well as ornamental figures, showing almost every operation of the garden.
Its language is absolutely free from technicalities. An attempt has been made to show plain gardening with no resources but those of the English language.
Attention is called to some of the omissions. After careful consideration the deriva tions of generic names have been left out in order to make room for more cultural matter. For gardening purposes they are mostly useless, and a very large number are inconceivably stupid. Cimicifuga, from cimex, a bug, and fugo, to drive away, in allusion to its supposed virtue.

At the same time, the meaning of a very large number of Latin and other specific names and phrases will be given in the Glossary.
