Tiii; Xcw York Horticultural Society is making some effort to establish some sort of au 

 oxperimontal garden. In their proceedings they speak of it as a "llorticultural Garden." 

 ■\\o i>resume it is intended to be something like Chiswick to the London llorticultural 

 Society; we hope they will succeed. The wealthy citizens of New York should give it 

 tla'ir countenance and support freely and liberally, that the great commercial metropolis 

 may have a horticultural institution worthy of iicr. The costliness of dwellings, hotels, 

 restaurants, places of amusement, dress, modes of living, &c., knows no bounds iu New 

 York, and has no parallel any where. "Will they do nothing for horticulture but iiurchase 



bouquets ? "VVe shall see.
