    Many readers of the Gardeners' Chronicle and of the Annals of Pharmacy and Chemistry will recog- nise in the following pages much matter that has already passed under their eyes. To be, however, of the service intended, such matter must have a book form; I have therefore col- lected from the above-mentioned periodicals all that I considered might be useful to the reader. To Sir William Hooker, Dr. Lindley, Mr. W. Dickinson, and Mr. W. Bastick, I respectfully tender my thanks for the assistance they have so freely given whenever I have had occasion to seek their advice. 2. New Bond Street, Sept. 1855.
