The Horticvltural Art Journal, pub- 

 lished by Mensing and Steelier, Roches- 

 ter, N.Y. every month, at $3.00 per 

 year, is devoted to disseminating a cor- 

 rect and faithful representation by 

 means of colored lithograph plates, 

 made from nature by skilful artists, of 

 new and meritorious productions of the 

 nursery, seed garden and green-house. 

 Each number will contain four colored 

 plates, accompanied by a careful des- 

 cription of the appearance, merits and 

 qualities of each subject. We trust 

 this new venture will meet with the 

 support which such an art journal most 

 richly deserves. The first number 

 contains very beautifully executed 

 plates of Marshall P. Wilder Rose, 

 Shipper's Pride Plum, Rancocas Rasp- 

 berry, and Niagara Grape.
