Excerpt from The Handbook to the Flower Garden and GreenhouseThe third edition of this work presented such a total change from the first two that it could hardly be recognised, and at the eleventh hour I had merely an Opportunity of disclaiming all the alterations.In revising the work for the fourth edition I have removed nearly eighty pages which were taken from, and belonged to, botanical dictionaries, and have restored much that had been taken away to make room for matter not original.I have not disturbed the alphabetical arrangement, although I have expunged the names of many genera and species of no earthly use to the ¿orist, for I consider the work belongs to the popular ¿owers, and not to botanical collections, besides which I have a thorough deep-rooted aversion to Copying from others.I trust I have improved even upon the original edition, and at least have the satisfaction of knowing it is all my own.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
