This horticulture book contains the exercises that have been given in connection with the work in General Horticulture in India. It is a modest attempt to fill a place that, for a long time, has seemed to be vacant. The aim is to give the student an outline by which he can better grasp some of the fundamental principles of horticulture, and an opportunity to learn by actual experimentation and observation the reasons for certain necessary operations in horticulture. It is the object of this book to give explicit directions for every detail of the work. In certain exercises it may be impossible for the student to do all the tasks outlined, but only such parts as are suited to the conditions under which the student is working should be attempted. This must be determined by the instructor, who, it is hoped, will select those exercises that are most practicable for his class. The drawings asked for and the questions raised in the several exercises are designed to bring out fundamental principles and important points as well as to fix firmly in the mind of the student the necessity of careful and systematic work.
