Research Abstract	The purpose of this research is to analize how to accept informationson internal horticulture and oversea in Meiji Era, the dawning period of modern landscape architecture and horticulture in Japan. The author reserached many publicatons and manuscripts on horticulture at some libraries, such as the National Diet Library, the Tokyo Metroporitan Central Library, Nagoya Hosa collection of books and so on. The author could see that some private libraries had good horticultural collections in unity, which had been published in Edo period. Shirai collections, Itoh collections, Makino cllections, Kikuchi collections are exellent examples. We can recognize the real state of horticulture and the spread of horticultural informations in Edo period, which had been influenced by the culture of flourishing publication. And in modern ages, the magazines, the mass media, had brought the spread of informations and the popularization on horticulture more than Edo period. Some horticultural magazines began to publish after the Meiji 20s. Overseas horticultural informations were introduced by these magazines. Although the development of overseas botany caused the modern horticulture in Japan, the dilettantish holticulture of Edo period became being a blind ally and didn't develop.
