The First Number for 1842 of
H E GARDENERS' CHRONICLE,
a Weekly Record of Rural Economy and General News.
The Horticultural Part Edited by Professor LINDLEY.
Twelve months since, the Proprietors of THE GARDENERS'
CHRONICLE. announced their objects in undertaking this
Journal, and if the support they have received may be con-
sidered as a test of the satisfaction of the Public, they have
every reason to believe that their exertions have been appre-
ciated, for it has already attained a sale far beyond any con-
temporary of a like character—a sale which has gone on pro-
gressively increasing from January to the present moment,
and has so far exceeded their own sanguine expectations
THAT NO LESS THAN THREE EDITIONS OP THE EARLIER
NUMBERS HAVE BEEN REQUIRED TO MEET THE CONTINUED
DEMAND. They now, therefore, need only refer to the past
as an earnest of the future, and announce, for the information
of the public generally, the nature of the publication.
The plan followed is, in THE FIRST PLACE, to make THE
GARDENERS' CHRONICLE a weekly record of everything
that bears upon Horticulture, Floriculture, Arboriculture, or
Garden Botany, and to introduce such Natural History as
has a relation to Gardening, with Notices and Criticisms of
every new work of importance on these subjects. Connected
with this part are WEEKLY CALENDARS OF GAR-
DENING OPERATIONS, given in great detail, and adapted
to the objects of persons in every station of life, so that the
Cottager, with a few rods of ground before his door, the
Amateur who has only a greenhouse, and the Manager of
extensive gardens, are alike informed each week of the rou-
tine of operations which the varying seasons render necessary
—Foreign and Domestic Correspondence upon Horticultural
subjects, with illustrative wood-cuts (112 have already been
given)—Reports of Horticultural Exhibitions and Proceedings
at home and abroad—Notices of Novelties and Improvements
—in short, everything that can tend to advance the profession,
benefit the condition of the workman, or conduce to the
pleasure of his employer. Replies to all questions, whether
practical or theoretical, connected with the object of the
Paper are also given weekly in great detail. And although
the Paper is not, strictly speaking, an Agricultural Journal,
yet it contains fall reports of the proceedings of the Royal
Agricultural Society, and much valuable information upon
more interesting subjects of discussion in this branch of

inquiry.
IN THE SECOND PLACE, that description of domestic and
political News is introduced, which is nasally found in a
Weekly Newspaper. It is unnecessary to dwell on this head
further than to say, that the Proprietors do not range them-
selves under the banners of any party ; their earnest endea-
vours are to make THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE a full and
comprehensive Record of Fads only—a Newspaper in the
true sense of the word—leaving the reader to form his own
conclusion and opinions : their object being the elucidation
and discussion of the laws of Nature, not of man. The
reader is thus furnished, IN ADDITION TO THE PECULIAR
FEATURE OF THE JOURNAL, with such a variety of informa-
tion concerning the events of the day, as supersedes the ne-
cessity of his providing himself with any other Weekly Paper.

On Saturday, December 25th, will be published, neatly bound
in cloth, with Title-page and Index, price LI Cs.,
THE VOLUME FOR lan OF THE GARDENERS'
CHRONICLE. (Each Volume is complete in itself.)
