10 Relrospcctive Vieic of the 



the Magazine, as the drawings are already made; we shall 

 then notice it at some length. Mr. INIcCulloiigh has rebuilt 

 the range of houses which were destroyed by fire last year. 

 Messrs. Kenrick's r.nd Winship's nurseries are well stocked 

 with a fine collection of fruit trees, ornamental trees, shrubs, 

 &c. Mr. Kenrick is now absent in England, and will proba- 

 bly send home fiuit trees in addition to his own stock. In 

 Salem, our correspondent, Mr. Manning, has been extending 

 bis nursery, and is now able to supply a greater number of 

 trees than heretofore. 



Some changes have taken place in the old establishment of 

 Messrs. Prince, of Flushing, N. Y. Mr. G. R. Garretson 

 has become the proprietor of the grounds heretofore known as 

 the Linucean Botanic Garden. A new establishment, under 

 the management of Parsons & Co., located at Flushing, has 

 also issued a very good catalogue of trees and shrubs. Messrs. 

 Wilkom & King, of the same place, are very extensive nur-

 in New York we have noticed at length in the last volume.

 been given in our last volume by a correspondent, and several 

 fine gardens in Princeton particularly described. Our cor- 

 respondent, Mr. Hancock, of Burlington, has made many im- 

 provements, which we have already noticed. 



It is in Philadelphia that there seems to be the most active 

 spirit prevailing among commercial gardeners. The Penn- 

 sylvania Horticultural Society is accomplishing much, by its 

 semi-monthly and annual exhibitions, and the energetic man- 

 ner in which it is conducted. The nurserymen continue to 

 enlarge their establishments, and increase their stock of plants, 

 for which they find a ready sale. We have already noticed 

 the improvements which have taken place the past year. 



In Baltimore, there is more attention being given to the 

 cultivation of choice fruits than heretofore, and the collections
