11 PREFACE. 



and render the next Volume the best which has appeared, both 

 for the cultivator of flowering plants in general, and the Flo- 

 rist whose attention is more particularly directed to a certain 

 class of fowers. We pledge, that our utmost efforts shall be 

 directed to effect the desired purpose. 



We are under very great obligations to our friends who have, 

 as heretofore, so liberally continued to favour us with commu- 

 nications for the present Volume. We again record our thanks 

 for their kindness, and most respectfully solicit a continuance 

 of their communications, to a work which is already so largely 

 indebted to their favours, and which has materially contribut- 

 ed to their popularity, as to gain so unprecedented a circu- 

 lation as the Floricultural Cabinet has obtained. 



The Floricultural Cabinet having thus become the medium 

 of circulating Floricultural Intelligence, to so great an ex- 

 tent, and our Headers, with us, being desirous to promote and 

 extend its operations, we therefore respectfully solicit of each 

 recommending our Publication to other persons, and whilst 

 thus co-operating, the furtherance of the object will be pro- 

 moted. 



We again enter upon our Editorial labour for the next 

 year with increased energy, and encouraged as to the future, 

 by an increased number of friends.
