the true characters of the plants. The Bouquet ou the wrapper is reallj good. 

 A few inaccuracies in the type occur; care Khould be taken in this particular. 

 Upon the whole I like your plan, though I see room for improvement, and 

 several of my gardening friends who, as I anticipated, take in the Magazine, 

 are pleased with it; but, with me, they think that your chief care should be 

 the parterre, and that Florist's JIuwers' should, as they deserve, occupy the 

 chief place in your regard. I agaiu beg to call yonr attention to the conden- 

 sation of your original articles, (surplusage is unnecessary,) and to reiterate 

 the hope expressed in my former note, that suburban gardens will meet with 

 u due share of your attention. Snowdrop. 



Having perused your monthly publications for March and April, under the 

 title Floricullural Cabinet, I am much pleased with the matter they contain, 

 and am greatly surprised to see the number of Plates, and so well coloured, 

 for the low price of the work.
