Botanical Prospectus. 

 D. 8t C. Landreth, Nursery and S-eed 

 design to issue enrly in the ensuing autumn, the fiist of 



number of a periodical work on Ornamental Plants. Of 

 all branches oi'Natural Science, Botany has ever had the i 

 greatest number of admirers ; it lias been the study of the I 

 learned in all ages and in all countries ; it charms alike 

 the aged and the youtliliil, and always presents on either 

 hand, something new and interesting; whether wandering 

 on the mountain top, or traversing the morass, a know- 

 ledge of the structure and classification of plants afTords 

 the meansof abundant interest and employment. Unlike 

 the study of some departments of Natural History, no 

 investigations are to be made but such as are ajireeable, 

 and in the language of the late president of the Linnjean 

 Society ' all is elegance and delight ; its pleasures spring 

 up under our feet, and as we pursue them reward us 

 with health and serene satisfaction.' 



The proposed worl; will be modelled somewhat afterthe 

 Botanical Magazine of Curtis (English)'; to Floriculture 

 and the delineation of plants it will be mainly directed — yet 

 it will afford opportunity for occasional remarks on the el- 

 ementary and physioloijical parts of Botany. It will be 

 issued monthly in a quarto fortn, each nuirher embelhsh- 

 ed with at least four elegantly executed lithographic 

 drawings, colored true to nature, by an artist of high res- 

 pectability. 



The plants to be delineated, (as well native as exotic,) 

 will be selected with reference to their beauty, ease of 

 cultivation, and otber desirable qualities, and embrace 

 those of the hot-house, green-house, and open air. Each 

 figure will be accompanied with ah accurate botanical 

 description; its natural family and Linnaan class and or- 

 der; its history : its use, if any, in medicine and the arts, 

 and other remarks likely to prove interesting ; together 

 with minute practical instructions for its propagalion,soil, 

 culture, and preservation. 



Unceasing are the requests made the advertisers for in- 

 struction as to the culture and general treatment of plants : 

 also, for descriptions of such new ones as their catalogue 

 annually announces. It is believed tbe work will not 

 only meet the wishes thus expressed by their numerous 

 patrons, but prove useful in nourishing a taste for Horti- 

 culture. 



They are not stimulated to the undertaking solely by 

 the prospect of pecuniary gain. — Their collection of 

 plants present facilities for contributing, through this me- 

 dium, to the rational and intellectual enjoyments of their 

 fellow-citizens ; it is therefore intended to issue the pub- 

 lication on the lowest terms possible. The price however 

 must depend in a degree on the patronage extended', 

 though under no circumstances will it exceed eight dollars 

 per annum. 



inr Due notice of its publication will be given.
