7697. Of original Polish or Russian books on gardening there are very few ; but a 

 number of translations were made in Poland during the early part of the 18th 

 century. There are agricultural transactions published occasionally by a society at 

 Warsaw, which, with the transactions of the Economical Society of St. Petersburgh, may 

 be considered as the best books for obtaining some idea of the state of culture in these 

 countries.

 tate at Lublin, and wrote the following work on 

 the subject.

 agricultural transactions of the Philadelphia and New York societies, in the transactions 

 of the Society of Arts of New York, and in Dr. Dean's New England Farmer s Dic- 

 tionary. Cobbett's American Gardener may be considered as affording a tolerable pic- 

 ture of the state of gardening in the United States, where it appears the long and severe 

 winters are material drawbacks to every branch of the art.

Chap. V. 



Of the Professional Police, and Public Law* relative to Gardeners and Gardening. 



7700. By jirofessional police, we mean those associations which gardeners have formed, 

 at different times, for mutual benefit or instruction, or the improvement of their art ; 

 by public laws, those of the legislature. 



7701. A fraternity of gardeners, we have already remarked, has long existed in Ger- 

 many as regularly organised as that of masonry. A fraternity also exists in France, but 

 less extensive and systematic. Their principal lodge is at Versailles ; the confreres de St. 

 Fiacre, being there, as Neill observes, to France, what " Adam's lodge of Aberdeen is to 

 Scotland." There are also a few similar fraternities in this country, who bold meetings, 

 and have secret signs and other rites nearly similar to those of masonry ; but these soci- 

 eties have no systematic connection like those of Germany. From masonry they have 

 undoubtedly taken their origin ; but how, when, and where, and for what object, in the 

 first instance, though we have corresponded with competent persons in all parts of the 

 kingdom, we have been unable to ascertain.
