 of Hackney. It has reached the twelfth volume. 



THE BOTANIC GARDEN, is edited by Mr. B. Maund, a 

 very intelligent man, residing as a bookseller, at Bromsgrove. 

 It is beautifully executed as regards the drawings ; and the 

 literary part is correct, and contains much informal ion. It

 Geraniums, commenced in 1820 ; THE BRITISH FLOWER 

 GARDEN. 1822 ; THE CISTINECE, or Natural Order of 

 Cistus, in 1825; THE FLORA AUSTRALASICA, or plants

THE GARDENER'S MAGAZINE, commenced in 1826, 

 and is now in its fifth volume. It has changed its periods of 

 publication several times, but has settled into a bimensial 

 periodical, appearing in months alternating with the Magazine 

 of Natural History. They are both edited by Mr. Loudon. 

 It is a very cheap publication, and collects into its pages from 

 every source whatever appears that is interesting to the 

 Gardener. It is rather prejudiced and visionary in, some of 

 its antipathies and the schemes which it advocates.
