vii, 179, 4 pp. By the co-founder of the American Society for Horticultural Science. The plan of these volumes has been somewhat modified in the present instance because of the great length of the Columbian Exposition history. It has been necessary to greatly reduce Part II, omitting some directories, indexes to current literature, accounts of tools and inventions, obituaries, and the like; but it is expected that these features will be restored in succeeding volumes. It is probable that no other unofficial history of horticulture at the World's Fair will appear, and the importance of this subject to the horticultural development of America, is sufficient excuse for the temporary omission of the customary features of the volumes.--Preface
