The author/editor, Liberty Hyde Bailey (1858-1954) was the most important American botanist and horticulturist of his time. He graduated from the Michigan Agricultural College (now Michigan State University) in 1882. At Cornell University he was professor of horticulture (1888-1903) and dean of the Agricultural college and director of the Agricultural Experiment Station (1903-1913). Through numerous writings, and as chairman of President Theodore Roosevelt's Commission on Country Life (1908), he worked for the improvement of rural life. Bailey was influential in establishing horticulture as a respected science. He wrote many standard works on botany and horticulture. This is his most widely known work.
