The field of the horticulturist

Abstract

Introduction: Horticulture, one of the oldest of arts, is yet as progressive as many more modern ones. Its development has been gradual, and as in all histories, the first pages of the history of horticulture are ranting. A twin sister of Agriculture, she combines with its practicability, an ardent love of the beautiful and has always worked to unite the useful and the ornamental.
