Excerpt from Henderson's Handbook of Plants Although I have every reason to be satisfied with the flattering reception given to the first edition of the Handbook of Plants, issued in 1881, yet I have ever believed that its scope was too limited; that the requirements of the thousands of amateurs, young florists and gardeners, needed something having a wider range. To meet that want there is not only added in the present edition all the new genera of any importance up to date, but there is specified in many instances the more important and useful species and varieties of the genera described, together with brief instructions for propagation and culture. The botanical and technical terms, and a very full list of the best-known English or popular names, are also given, and great care has been exercised to have all the generic names accentuated according to the latest authorities. Nearly one thousand engravings of the various plants described in the body of this work are shown. The natural system of arrangement being now generally used, is adopted in the descriptions instead of the Linnæan or artificial system. Very full instructions are given for the culture and forcing of all Fruits, Flowers and Vegetables of importance, such as Grape Vines, Strawberries, Roses, Bulbs of all kinds, Celery, Cauliflower, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Mushrooms, etc.; in short, I believe that there is sufficient matter given on all gardening subjects to allow me to claim for this book that it is an American Gardener's Dictionary. A series of tables and memoranda on horticultural and agricultural subjects, such as Seeds, Crops, Stock, Forestry, Measures, Weights, Temperature, etc., is also added, which, together with a carefully compiled glossary of the technical terms used in describing plants, and a monthly calendar of operations for the green-house and window garden, flower, fruit and kitchen garden, will undoubtedly render this edition valuable as a book of reference. The name of the book will now be "The Handbook of Plants and General Horticulture," and I believe that for all practical purposes it will be better adapted to the wants of American horticulturists than any of the more costly British works on gardening, and at one-third of their cost; for though from a foreign standpoint these are all they claim to be, yet for the American climate much of the information, and especially I the gardening instructions, are not only useless, but actually misleading. In the first edition of this work I was largely indebted to the following books as authorities: Loudon's Encyclopædia of Plants; Paxton's Botanical Dictionary; Paxton's Magazine of Botany; Johnson's Gardener's Dictionary; McIntosh's Book of the Garden; Rhind's Vegetabele Kingdom; Lindley's Treasury of Botany; Orchid Grower's Manual; Miller's Gardener's Dictionary; Gerarde's Herbal (1597); Parkinson's Garden of Pleasant Flowers(1629); Dodoen's Plants (1587); Grays Manual of Botany; Chapman's Southern Flora; American Agriculturist, of New York; The Gardener's Monthly, of Philadelphia, Pa.; and The Garden, London, England. In addition to the above, I am indebted for plants of late introduction to - Nicholson's Dictionary of Gardening, The Garden Oracle, Robinson's English Flower Garden, The Gardener's Chronicle, Journal of Horticulture (London), and the various American horticultural journals. In compiling this edition, I have been most ably assisted by Mr. Wm. J. Davidson, of Brooklyn, N. Y., who not only is a thorough botanist, but is perhaps the peer of any man in the United States to-day in his all-round knowledge of garden work.
