这本非常有价值的参考书的第三版的大部分内容表面上都很熟悉，以至于从第二版开始的修订和更新的数量在最初的检查中似乎很少。章节顺序是相同的，章节标题甚至子章节几乎没有变化。然而，对参考文献的检查表明，大约有20%的新材料，并且将其纳入现有格式表明确实进行了非常彻底的修订。事实上，新版比前一版少了45页。虽然许多章节都相当合理地原封不动地保留了下来，但许多新的信息也被不显眼地引入了。在一些领域，重点发生了重大变化：例如，拉丁美洲油棕榈的发展、组织培养技术的效果和工厂废水的处理等都得到了更大的重视。对辅助授粉和裸根苗的讨论可以忽略不计，尽管由于历史原因，也许前者应该得到更多的空间。新版的字体更容易看，对哈佛引用文献系统的改变简化了参考文献的后续工作。该索引比以前的版本信息量大得多。总而言之，对任何图书馆来说，这是一个有价值的版本，即使第二版仍然在那里，而且状况良好。
So much of the third edition of this very valuable reference book is superficially familiar that the amount of revision and updating from the second edition on initial inspection seems slight. The chapter sequence is the same, the chapter headings and even the sub-sections are virtually unchanged. An examination of the references, however, shows some 20% new material, and to have incorporated this into an existing format suggests a very thorough revision indeed. The new edition is, in fact, 45 pages shorter than its predecessor. Though many sections have, quite reasonably, been retained intact, much new information has been unobtrusively introduced. In a number of areas there have been significant changes of emphasis: the development of the oil palm in Latin America, the effect of tissue culture techniques and the treatment of mill effluent, for example, are given more prominence. Discussion of assisted pollination and bare root seedlings is negligible, though perhaps the former should have been given more space for historic reasons. The typeface of the new edition is much easier on the eye and the change to the Harvard system of citing literature simplifies the following up of references. The index is much more informative than in former editions. All-in-all a valuable edition to any library, even if the second edition is still there and in good condition.
