The season for active operations on the garden
and the field being at hand, we bring together our
notices Tor the month, Of the most valuable periud
Gals devoted to those interests:
HovEY's MAGAZINE OF HORTICULTURE
The March number Of this old and excellent work is
one OF uncommon excellence and interest," to the pc.
mologst especially, containing not less that five ar
uices on that subject. The first is the animal re-
view, by Hon. ]. s. Cabot, of the several varieties
ofpears exhibited during the year, with notes and
descriptions thereof. Mr. Cabot's experience and
nice discrimination always render his articles ediy-
ing and useful. The article is also on the cul.
tue Of the pear, being the notes of series of con
versational meetings Of the members Of the Nassa-
chusetts Horticultural Society, in which different
modes Of culture were discussed. The third is on
the culture Of the Isabella and other native grapes,
By A. Johnson, Jr., Wiscasset, Me. The fourth is
one OF the editors chronological Gossps," which
are always interesting and useful; and the fifth is
descriptions and engravings of select varieties Of ap-
pies, by the editor. Another article describes new
Orange Globe Anaranth, and another gives notices
ofne" and beautiful plants figured in foreign period.
Icals. The magazine is indispensable to every good
practical gardener, and is unequalled as ponologi-
cal work, by any other in the country.
The HoRTIcULTURIsT, for March, is also
valuable number, and continues to give evidence
that it has fallen into good hands. The character
Of this work is more varied than that Of Hovey's
Magazine, and larger share is devoted to the sub
jects OF rural taste. This number contains an article
on Pruning, and one Lawn Trees, by the editor;
on Trees for Streets, and their Protection. by
VIM. Bawn, Of Richmond, Mass; an account of
new Seeding Cherries, raised by DIR Kirkland, Of
Ohio; an account Of the Clinton Grape, valuable
native variety; and sunday others. The ilustra-
tons Of this work are very good.
The WORKING FARMER, BY Professor Mapes,
is work we have had occasion 10 commend here
tofore. II is doing more, probably, than any other
publication in the country, make the practical APP
plication Of science TO agriculture familiar our fat
mers. The great results which are to flow from this
application, can hardly, now, be appreciated. That
it will, however, greatly increase the value and ef-
feet oil great portion of manures, and that it will
bring into use many materials for that purpose, now
comparatively yaueess, cannot be doubted. The
March number commences a new volume Of the
"Workng Farmer" and we know not how dol.
lar can be more udciousy expended, by the mass Of
our farmers, than in subscription for the current
volume. Il is published by F. M'Cready, 35I
Broadway, New York.
The CULTIVATION, for March, is at hand, filed
TO the brim and running over, usual, with excel
lent articles on Farming and Gardening. No work
Of the Kind in this country, has sustained more
uniformly high reputation than this, or obtained so
large and general a circulation. We have often had
occasion 10 commend il to our readers. II is pub
lished by L. Tucker, Albany.
