Abstract
Most of us gathered here consider ourselves professional horticulturists. Some define their profession as that of teacher, scientist, or extension specialist. Others regard themselves as commodity-oriented professionals in olericulture, pomology, viticulture, ornamental horticulture, or enology. Summaries from questionnaires emanating from the composite of study committees of this organization suggest that professional horticulturists might be classified by field of science; that is, broadly as biologists, with specializations in physiology, morphology, ecology, cell biology, molecular genetics, and so forth.
