Excerpt from Notes on Horticultural Nomenclature: Some Suggestions for the Nurseryman Fruit Grower, Gardener, Seed, Grower, Plant Breeder and Student of Horticulture In this respect, the horticulturists have much to learn from the botanists. The latter name the species of plants which they study according to rules upon which they are fairly well agreed, and though there are some inconsistencies, occasionally ridiculous ones, still on the whole the science of botany is immeasurably in advance of horti culture in this respect. We have, indeed, a code of rules for naming fruits, and another for naming vegetables and though these rules are not above criticism, they are much in advance of the general practice in nomenclature. It is safe to say that not one fruit-grower in a hun dred has ever seen these rules. It is also perfectly obvious that the rules are openly and flagrantly disregarded by a great many nursery men, seedsmen and writers on horticultural topics. A separate chap ter will be devoted to a presentation and discussion of these rules. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
