The publisher, at the close Of the I'd volume, de.
sres to return his thanks for the handsome patron
age bestowed on this work. II has already attain
ed circulation equal TO that of any similar maga-
zine in Europe, and far beyond any of its class hl-
erto attempted in America. Its influence on the
progress of Gardening, and the diffusion of infor-
nation in matters of Rural Taste, is already stri-
kingly apparent Its extended and valuable cor
respondence, presents the experience of large bo-
dy of the most intelligent cultivators in America;
and the instructive and agreeable articles from the
pen Of the Editor, make it equally sought after by
even the general reader, interested in country life.
In order to introduce still greater improvements
in the work, and especially in its illustrations, the
Publisher takes this method of presenting it in va
rous parts of the United States where it is not al
ready known, and where he is confident that it only
needs to be examined, or even announced, (such is
the popularity of Mr. Downing's works,) to be at
once ordered.
The work is published monthly in Svo form, Of
4S pages-each number accompanied by irontis-
piece and several other engravings. The list of
constant contributors embraces our first hortcultu-
rists and practical cultivators The "Foregn No
tees present summary from all the leading Hor-
tcultural Journals of Europe; the domestic No
tees" and Answers to Correspondents, furnish CO.
pious hints to the novice in practical Culture and
the numerous and beautiful illusrations,-pa for
cottages, greenhouses, the figures of new fruits,
shrubs and plants, combine TO render this one of
the cheapest and most valuable works to country
Gentlemen on either side of the Atlantic.
