2. By its being the only work which contains all the modern improvements in Gardening, foreign as well as domestic. 3. By the addition of a _Kalendarial Index_, by which the practical part of the work may be consulted monthly, as the operations are to be performed; and a copious _General Index_, by which the whole may be consulted alphabetically. Thus the work will serve as a _Gardener’s Kalendar_, and _Gardener’s Dictionary_: both, it is confidently hoped, far more complete than any hitherto presented to the public. By means of a copious page, by condensed descriptive tables of fruits, culinary vegetables, and flowers, and by the local introduction of such illustrative engravings as greatly shorten the necessity of verbal description, this immense body of matter has been comprised in one thick volume.
