THE GARDENER'S GAZETTE AND
WEEKLY JOURNAL OF SCIENCE, LITERA-
TURE, AND POLITICS.

No. 1., Published JANUARY 7th and Bth,
Price FIVEPENCE.

It is not a little extraordinary that the Horticulturists of this king-
dom have had as yet no Journal to advocate their interests, or sup-
port their claims, for no class was ever better calculated to support
a Journal, or occasionally more required its advocacy. We speak of
Gardeners as scientific men—men who not only take an interest in
the cultivation of the earth, but in genoral are reading men, calcu-
lating men, and, from the very nature of their profession, thinking
men ; nor does it alter our position if we take all the grades of Ow-

deners. The Duke of Devonshirft is a Gardener; for though he
does not necessarily dig the ground, nor plant his own cabbages, he
pays others for doing the labour and attending to his garden, from
his head-man downwards, and takes an extraordinary interest in the
results. Again, the poor man that cultivates a rod of ground is a
Gardener, and takes as much pride, or as much interest hi his avo-

cation as the most wealthy ; in fact, every body who takes an inte-
rest in a flower, or a vegetable, and studies its progress, is a Gar-
dener. Gardeners exist in all stations, from the labourer to the
prince, just as the poorest soldier in the ranks is a soldier, as well as
all above him, up to the Duke of Wellington ; in fact, as Mr. Hud-
son says or sings, " We're all Gardeners." The sort of Journal re-
quired, is one containing news of every thing that passes; notices
of all the new plants, constant reports of proceedings of all meet-
ings; systematic exposure of all evils; censure of all abuses; and
above all things, when other interests are advancing at the expense
of Gardening, a bold and uncompromising defence until the tide is
turned, and, if necessary, an attack on its enemies afterwards. All

these are essential. Turnpike Bills, the Tithe Question, Taxes,
regulations for importidg Foreign produce, and many other ques-
tions, have, may, and will again arise for the exercise of the whole
strength and influence of a Journal ; and the superiority of a weekly
over a monthly publication requires no comment. Had there
been such a Journal in the days of alarm, when the malicious re-
port that vegetables were injurious to health and promoted Cholera
was spread abroad, the gross delusion could have been dispelled in a
few days, instead of operating in the ruinous abstinence of the pub-
lic for months, destroying thousands of pounds worth of business,
and reaching all the classes, from the grower to the consumer.

The announcement of two such Journals threatened to split the
science into two parties, and, what is worse, to double the expense
of making any thing public ; for as, in all probaGility, one or the
other would find its way into the hands of every one interested in
any branch of Horticultnre, and neither of the Journals mach more
than half, whatever it might be desirable to advertise, must have
appeared in both ; and it is impossible not to foresee many other
disadvantages. Happily, by an arrangement between the parties,
the united strength of both will now be devoted to one Newspaper
only, and this can be transmitted by the ordinary Post free of ex-
pense. Advertisements inserted will reach every Town and Vil-
lage in the Kingdom, and if we do not greatly underrate the classes
who delight in Borticulture from the highest to the lowest, there
will scarcely be found one who does not, in the course of the week,
peruse the Gardener's Gazette.
The Newspaper will give a faithful record of all great political
events abroad and at home, but it will not venture to give a political
opinion of its own. Where a question is sufficiently important to
deserve it, the most. talented article that shall have appeared during
the week on each side shall be inserted, that the readers may be
well acquainted with the subject, and the name of the papers in
which they have appeared shall be quoted. But when a question
which affects the interests of any branch of Horticulture or Agricul-
ture may be agitated, the Gardeners'- Gazette shall be foremost in
the field, and not the least effective.
It remains only for the Gardeners—we repeat again—from the
Duke downwards, to do their duty by their Gazette, as faithfully as
the Gazette will do its duty by them, and some of these duties the
Proprietors will, in all modesty, venture to point out :
I. lb* Nobility and Gentry throughout the kingdom should pro-
vide their Gardeners with it, free of expense.
2. The Gardeners'who may not be so supplied, should order it
net,erthele3s, and being practical mess, should, whenever they have
an opportunity, supply original papers on the cultivation, manage-
ment, and propagation, &c., of plants, descriptions of new ones,
&c. &c.

3. The Secretaries of Horticultural Societies should exhort all
their members to order it, advertise all their shows in it, and supply
immediate returns of the prizes awarded at such shows (which re-
turns will be gratuitously inserted as News), and communicate
whatever may be deemed useful information.
4. The members of such Societies who take in a weekly paper,
should immediately order their Newsmen to change it for the Gar-
dener's Gazette ; such as do not take a r enday paper, and cannot
well afford it, should induce three or others to join them.
5. Nurserymen should not only or .ter it for their own guidance,
for which it will be as necessary as their own stock-books, but they
should also inform every customer Odle advantages of possessing in
a Newspaper a record of every thing that is passing in the Horti-
cultural and Agricultural world,
6. Nurserymen and dealers in every thing cppertaining to horti-
culture, floriculture, arboriculture, ft :ming and gardening, should
adopt the Journal as the means of ps.blishing their Advertisements,
which, whether lists of plants, treeri, shrubs, towers, seeds, or de-
scriptions of tools, implements, maell ties, or of land; farming stock,
or crops,—Auctioneer's catalogues, a rms, houses orrens to left
or any other subject, can thus be pol aced in. at singe week in the
hands of every body at all interesteti in them.
We will just apprise Gardners of all rar:es that the expense of
conducting the Gardener's Gaze tte ',N.& exceed two thousand
pounds per annum : and that as ea e st irtilus on each Newspaper,
beyond the cost of the stamp and pat.
,Er;' is w
's e penny only, it re-
quires ten thousand copies per eek be sold to meet this to
ex-
pense, and of which number at presert t little more than five thou-
sand are ordered ; much, therefore, emains to be done before the
'next year.
Orders for the regular deliver of the Gardener's Gazette may
be given to any Newsman or Clerk of ' the Road in the country, any
Newsman in London, and in the er ant of either of these being in
the neighbourhood, e
