Excerpt from Annals of Horticulture in North America for the Year 1899: A Witness of Passing Events and a Record of Progress A series of Annals of Horticulture, Of which the present volume is the initial, is projected for the purpose of preserv ing in convenient form a record and epitome of yearly pro gress in horticulture. Our horticultural interests are becom ing so various and extensive, and records of them are so widely scattered, that such compendiums are a necessity; and summaries of the most important discoveries and discussions must have a direct and immediate practical use, wholly aside from their values as history.

Excerpt from Annals of Horticulture: In North America for the Year 1890, a Witness of Passing Events and a Record of Progress I suppose that all horticulturists are agreed that an annals of yearly progress in horticulture is a desideratum; and yet there is no unanimity as to the plan or scope of such work. It must necessarily include a record of the new plants of the year, and some reference to current books and bulletins may be expected, together, perhaps, with directories of societies and other horticultural institutions. But beyond these matters, perhaps no two horticulturists would agree. It is, therefore, peculiarly difficult to prepare a yearly volume which shall satisfy its readers. The field which these volumes are designed to enter is an entirely new one, not only because of the broad survey which they attempt to make, but largely also, because they are made at the close of the year, rather than at its beginning. They make no effort to compile directories and trade-lists for the use of the year to come, but they aim to glean the most important facts and movements of each closing year, and to bind them up compactly into a single sheaf. In a country so large and an industry so varied, it is impossible to gather all which is worthy of record in a compendium of horticultural progress; but I hope that there is enough in the following pages to enable the sympathetic reader to arrive at some measure of the broader activities of the year.
