reference. The articles in the parts already? published which will 

 be found interesting to gardeners are, Artesian Wells, including 

 the mode of boring for water, the situations where the process is 

 likely to be attended with success, the different tools used, &c. ; 

 and Acetic Acid, including the mode of distilling pyroligneous 

 acid, or wood vinegar, from the spray of broad-leaved trees, the 

 needle-leaved or resinous trees not affording this article in such 

 abundance. Independently of such articles as these, there are 

 innumerable articles of general interest, such as Bread, Beer, 

 Blacking, &c. ; and others of chemical interest, such as Alkali, 

 Ammonia, &c. 



In an advertisement prefixed to each part. Dr. Ure " offers 

 his services publicly, which he has long done privately, to manu- 

 facturers, as an engineer and counsellor, in erecting, improving, 

 or new-modellingr their works. . . . His fee for a chemical 

 analysis, and for advice on the above subjects is from one guinea 

 to five guineas. Letters, post paid, enclosing a fee, will re- 

 ceive the best attention, and an immediate answer. — 13. Charlotte 

 Street, Bedford Square" 



We think the above an excellent idea ; and we have given it 

 somewhat in detail, because there are some of our readers who 

 might probably be glad to have soils analysed for them by such 

 an eminent chemist as Dr. Ure. We also mean to adopt the 

 idea ourselves, by announcing publicly, that our advice or opi- 

 nion may be obtained, on the same terms as those stated by Dr. 

 Ure, on all subjects treated of in the Gardejier's Magaziiie, the 

 Architectural Magazme, and the Suburban Gardener ; and we 

 shall, like Dr. Ure, keep a standing advertisement to this effect 

 on our wrapper, or in our advertising sheet. 



Treatise on the Cidture of the Red Rose, Straxsoberry, Brazil Goose- 

 berrij. Peach, Mango, and Grape Vine. By W. Ingledew, 

 Esq. Published under the Direction of the Madras Agricultural 

 and Horticultural Society. With Notes by R. Wright, M.D., 

 F.L.S., &c. Pamph. 8vo. pp. 40. Madras, 1837'. 



Both text and notes are chiefly extracts from the Enci/clopccdia 

 of Gardenijig. The difficulty with the European fruits in India 

 is, to procure for them a moderate temperature, and a season of 

 rest. For the former purpose, the vine is planted in the side 

 walls of large wells, 16 ft. or 18 ft. in diameter ; where the shade 

 of tiie sides keeps the plant cool ; and the shoots, being trained 

 round the sides, enjoy the perpendicular light, and produce 

 " liberal supplies of excellent grapes." (p. 38.) This practice 

 prevails on the shores of the Red Sea, and in the Persian Gulf. 

 The Brazil gooseberry (Physalis peruviana), which is occa- 

 sionally cultivated on the back walls of some of our vineries,
