Spencer Ambrose Beach Liberty Hyde Bailey Foreword The development of Horticultural Reviews during the 75th Anniver- sary of the founding of the American Society for Horticultural Science is significant in that it demonstrates the foresight of S. A. Beach, the Founder, and L. H. Bailey, the first President, in establishing and assisting in the early development of this Society. The co-sponsoring of Horticultural Reviews with The AVI Publishing Company is a milestone in establishing the science of horticulture as envisioned by these men. It is also recognition of the efforts of the many horticultural scientists who have contributed their energy and their imaginative research, of the teachers who have nurtured these scientists, and of the extension faculty who have digested and interpreted this information for use by commercial and urban horticulture. Thus, Horticultural Reviews can well be dedicated to the many who during the first 75 years since the founding of the American Society for Horticultural Science have, through their contributions, developed horticulture as a viable biologi- cal and agricultural science. The true value of Horticultural Reviews will, however, be a part of the future. A crowded and tense world population will increasingly ap- preciate and demand the nutritional and flavor qualities unique to hor- ticulture’s fruit and vegetable crops, the beauty of ornamental plants, and the therapeutic value of gardening. Scientists will publish an ever enlarging flood of sophisticated literature in myriad publications. Hor- ticultural Reviews will be of particular value in presenting digests of this material by acknowledged authorities in the many specialized fields of horticulture. Horticultural Reviews will, however, not serve its intended purpose unless a high quality of review paper is maintained. This is an avowed goal of both the Society and AVI and safeguards to this end have been developed. The Editor and the Editorial Board will be approved by the vii viii HORTICULTURAL REVIEWS American Society for Horticultural Science. A different Editorial Board will be appointed for each set of reviews. Thus, scientists who are authorities in fields related to the review papers will monitor and con- trol their quality. Alfred H. Krezdorn Chairman of the Board, 1978-1979 American Society for Horticultural Science and Department of Fruit Crops University of Florida Gainesville, Florida
