Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The American Flower Garden Directory
Our descriptions Of plants have been conveyed more with the view of giving an idea of their character to the general reader than an accurate botanical synopsis, which would have been known to the botanist alone. All that we have described and recommended have, with a few exceptions, passed under our own Observation, and are such as are worthy Of cultivation, either for beauty Of ?ower, foliage, or habit, together with those celebrated in arts and medicine. Many may, possibly, have passed unobserved, either from not being very generally known or difficult to Obtain; but in no case has there\ been suppression, from business preju dices. Where the words our collections occur, they are meant for those of the country generally.
