The word "horticulture" came into use in Japan after the Meiji era, and before this term became established, related fields were called "seed art" or "tree art." In Japan, the "Seed Art Section" was established in the Ministry of Civil Affairs' Agricultural Promotion Bureau in 1870, and the "Tree Art Section" was established in the Ministry of Home Affairs' Industrial Affairs Bureau's Agricultural Affairs Division from 1874 onwards. In the report by Sen Tsuda of the Vienna International Exposition (1897), it is stated that he was dispatched as an "Agricultural and Horticultural Examiner" and studied "Horticultural Cultivation." However, the meaning of "horticulture" fluctuated from around the 40th year of Meiji to the Taisho era. Horticultural Crops Crops cultivated through horticulture are called horticultural crops, and include fruit trees, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental trees. Fruit Trees - Generally classified by fruit structure into pome fruits, stone fruits, berry fruits, semi-pome fruits, and nuts. Vegetables - Generally classified by edible parts into fruit vegetables, leaf (stem) vegetables, and root vegetables. Flowers - Classified into annuals, biennials, perennials, bulbs, and flowering trees. They are also sometimes classified into cut flowers (flowers, foliage), potted plants (flowers, foliage), and bulbs/seedlings. #PlantBooks #ScienceAndTechnology #SoltyBooks #Chinese #GreenBookShelf #ForeignLanguageLearningBooks #HomeGardening #Horticulture #Gardening Features...Current Earth/Local Stock
