Preface to Fifth Edition. This book was prepared primarily for theS chool of Agriculture of the University of Minnesota, where it has been used as a text book for four years. In this edition some changes have been made to bring It up to date in the matter of methods of culture and varieties recommended. The material has also been re-arranged and more attention paid to the classification of vegetables than in the first edition. A few other new minor features have also been introduced which experience seemed to show desirable. I wish to acknowledge the kind assistance received in the preparation of this manuscript from Prof. Harry Snyder and my assistant, R. S. Mackintosh. In previous editions I have taken pleasure, as I do now, in acknowledging the assistance which I have received in many ways from Dr. Otto Lugger and Major A. G. Wilcox, and it pains me now to have to record the death of both within the past year, but the memory of the many pleasant associations with them will always be fresh in my mind. Figures numbered 52, 67, 69 and 121 are from D. Landreth Sons; 26, 27, 31, 32 and 92 are from W. Atlee Burpee; Nos. 22, 23, 81 and 96 are reproduced from publications of theD epartment of A griculture; No. 5is from Bateman Manufacturing Co.; Nos. 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 41, 42 and 43 were loaned by Dr. Lugger; Nos. 58. 61, 63. 65, 66, 106, 108, 112, 119, 120 and 122 from various sources.

Samuel Bowdlear Green was born on September 15, I859 in Chelsea, Massachusetts, the son of Thomas and Anna (Marden) Green. His father, at one time mayor of Chelsea and for forty years a wholesale flour dealer in Boston, was of English descent; his mother came of Dutch stock. The New Hampshire farm where young Samuel spent his summers was probably responsible for his early decision to become a farmer.
His father stipulated that the boy be educated for the calling, and he matriculated at the Massachusetts Agricultural College, from which he received the B. S. degree in 1879.
Before Green was twenty he became superintendent of Vine Hill Farm, West Hartford, Connecticut, where he directed some nineteen workers in dairying and fruit raising. During the next two years he worked for a market gardener, a seedsman, and a nurseryman; for three years more he was superintendent of the horticultural department at the Houghton Farm Experiment Station at Cornwall, New York; then he was foreman successively in nurseries in Brighton and in Newton, Massachusetts.
In 1886 he was made superintendent of the horticultural department at the Massachusetts Agricultural College, where he carried on the practical work of the nursery, greenhouse, and market garden maintained for the instruction of students. In 1888, he was appointed horticulturist to the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station. Four years later he became professor of horticulture and subsequently of horticulture and forestry in the University of Minnesota.
During his long years as a teacher, Green never forgot the problems of the practical farmers. In 1890 he was secretary of the Minnesota State Horticultural Society; from 1892 to 1910 he was a member of its executive board, and from 1907 to 1910 its president. He was president of the board of administration of Farmers’ Institutes of Minnesota and for many years a member of the executive committee of the Minnesota Forestry Association. The year 1900 he spent on leave for the study of forestry and horticulture in the principal countries of Europe.
In 1904 at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis he managed the horticultural and forestry exhibits of all the state experiment stations and agricultural colleges of the United States. In addition to these varied activities, he served the horticultural interests of the state in research and experiment, in teaching, and in writing. His more important works, some of them textbooks, were: Amateur Fruit Growing; Vegetable Gardening; Forestry in Minnesota; Principles of American Forestry; Farm Wind-Breaks and Shelter Belts; Popular Fruit-Growing. He was also one of the editors of Farm and Fireside from 1888 until his death. In the spring of 1910 he was appointed dean of the new Department of Forestry of the University; but on July 11 of that year he suffered a stroke of apoplexy and died.
Samuel was an indefatigable worker and a natural leader. His activities brought him into contact with people from all over the state and gained for him a wide circle of admirers. Characteristic of the man is his safeguarding of the “fruit list” of the horticultural association, in which varieties of fruit suitable for planting in Minnesota were recommended - he would in - elude no new variety without careful testing over some period of years.
