Abstract
THE horticultural portion of this work, occupying its first nine chapters, is a digest of some of our best English authors on the subject. Chapter IX., on the Diseases and Insects attacking the Rose, is confessedly little more than a reproduction of the writings of Harris on the same topic, and of use only to the American cultivator.
