The Magazine of Horticulture, Botany, and all Usefu 

 Discoveries and Imyrovenienls in Rural Affairs, pub 

 lished in Boston, by Messrs. Hovey & Co., is not onls 

 issued with its accustomed regularity, but also sustain 

 the high reputation it had previously acquired. Thi 

 October number— No. LVIII— contains several paper: 

 of great interest, viz.: Art. 1. Some remarks upon se 

 veral Gardens and Nurseries, in Providence, Burling 

 ton, (N. J.) and Baltimore, by the Editor, C. M. Hovet 

 2.— On the propagation, cultivation, and general tnat 

 ment of Epacris, by John Towne, Esq. 3.— Notice; 

 of new and beautiful plants, figured in the Londoi 

 Floricultural and Botanical Magazines, with remarks 

 on the cultivation of many of the species, and some 

 account of those which it would be desirable to intro 

 duce into our gardens. The Misc.llaneous Intclligcne, 

 which occupies a part of the work, is varied and ver) 

 interesting. We know not the measure of support ob 

 tained for this work : but of one thing we are certain 

 that if its patronage corresponds with its merits, ther 

 is it well sustained, for it most certainly is a meritori 

 0U3 work. If it is not well sustained, the friends of 

 Horticulture and Floriculture owe it to themselves- 

 to the science— to the country, to extend to it a gene 

 reus and liberal support, that it may take deep root an( 

 flourish. In its continued success they are deeply in 

 terested.
