The publisher, at the close of the 2dvoume, de-
sres to return his thanks for the handsome patron
age bestowed on this work. 1t has already attain
ed circulation equal to that of any similar maya
zine in Europe and far beyond any Of its class hith
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-
kingy apparent. Its extended and valuable cor
respondence, presents the experience of Il large bo-
DIV 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 itin 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 lrontis-
piece and several other engravings. The list Of
constant contributors embraces our first hOrtcultu-
rists and practical cultivators, The "Foreign Mo-
tees present summary from all the leading Hor-
ticuItural Journals of Europe; the domestic No
tees" and Answers to Correspondents furnish CO.
pous hints to the novice in practical culture; and
the numerous and beautiful illustrations,p plans 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.
