Synopsis The term 'dictionary' for a layman means a reference book that consists of a list of words along with their meanings. And, when one talks of a dictionary, he or she is implicitly understood as referring to a dictionary of English words. But unlike what our minds are tuned to think, a person who is talking about a dictionary might just be talking about a glossary of terms belonging to a particular subject. This is exactly where our series comes in the picture. The series consists of dictionaries on varied subjects, ranging from common topics like Commerce and Botany, to very profound and complicated subjects like Entomology and Toxicology. The use of simple and easily comprehensible language, along with real life examples and appropriate pictures, fosters an enriching learning experience for the readers. Horticulture if the science and art of growing fruits, vegetables, flowers, shrubs, and trees. The glossary gives a review of such terms in this book that are relevant to the way people encounter horticulture in everyday life landscapes, houseplants, vegetable gardens), while introducing important aspects of horticultural science and commercial practices. Horticulture originally meant the practice of gardening but now covers the peripheral of cultivation of plants once grown in gardens.
