Abstract
THE re-issue of this work at such an astonishingly low price will be welcomed by all those who are familiar with the earlier edition. It is designed to meet the needs of amateur gardeners, horticultural and agricultural students, as well as pupils of matriculation standard. Characteristics of seed and vegetative propagation, plant growth and its control by the gardener, problems of plant sterility and of pest and disease control are discussed, while considerable prominence is given to descriptions of methods used for raising improved varieties of plants, the planning of experiments and of educational gardens.
