According to the OpenLibrary.org, <blockquote>"A highly inclusive reference work covering the conditions, [[plant]]s and procedures of American [[gardening]] and small-scale [[agriculture]]. L.H. Bailey was considered the "Dean of American Horticulture", and his work, out of his offices at [[Cornell University]], established American horticulture as the equal or better of that practiced in any other country on earth. Many of the scientific plant names have been revised over the last century, but online resources make it simple to find the current names. Most interesting are the procedures, often described in great detail, for effective gardening in a time before motorized vehicles, easily-available electricity, industrial [[pesticide]]s and [[fertilizer]]s and other modern things we now take for granted. This alone makes these volumes of great interest for those pursuing "greener" gardening. All of the editions and forms, from the earliest to the last, are among the best references for idle reading. Open a volume to a random page, and soon enough you will find that your knowledge has been significantly increased."</blockquote><ref>[https://openlibrary.org/works/OL1529689W/The_standard_cyclopedia_of_horticulture OpenLibrary.org Summary].
