| TGrS ton of monthly journal
under the above title. devoted ex-
clusively to tho interests of the
gardeners, fruit.growers and land
scape artists of the South. 1t will
be issued as a medium octave of 80
closely printed pages exclusive of
advertising sheet and cover, and
will be, in every respect, first class
horticultural magazine. The mater
ial used both in the mechanical and
literary "make up" of the journal
will be of the very best character
and the workmanship shall fully
correspond with tho excellence of
the "material." l have already
secured the regular services of many
of the best horticultul al pens In the
South and the promise of occasional
assistance from others, places the
literary character of the SOUTHERN
HoRTICULTURIsT at once upon a
sure and respectable basis, while the
mechanical department is in the
hands of men whose intelligence,
taste and experience are a sufficient |
guarantee that their part of the
work will be efficiently aud hand. |

AS editor and publisher OF the
proposed journal it might not be
much amiss for me to say something
of my own qualifications for the
work thus voluntarily
notwithstanding having been for |
20 years a caterer, in small way,
for the horticultural tastes of the
South, trust that l may safely pass
over in silence this disagreeable
display of editorial egotism. Works
rather than words ought to and ,ciu
decide this matter. ga.m.tg1nE !
Well knowing, from severe per-
;onal experience, the generally
ruined condition of our people,
have determined to put the sub.
'crlption price of the SOUTHERN
doRTICULTURIST at the lowest pos
'ible figure that will pay for material
md physical work-the editor and
lis colaborers feeling it both q
pleasure and a duty to give their
mental labors as bonus toward the
up of our once happy and
prosperous but now degraded and
lown trodden land. In accordance
nth this determination, the sub
cription to the SOUTHERN HoRTI.
ULTURIsT for 1869 is fixed at 81
Invariably in advance. And even
t this low prize every subscriber
Tho sends in his name and cash be-
ore the LIST of March next, will

Unparalleled offer We expect to re,

etic, patriotic Southern horticul-
lrists before the expiration of the
