The melancholy death of A. J. Downing deprived the readers of the Horticulturist of the labors of 

 one whose essays they liad so long read with unmiugled pleasure and profit. Since that sad event 

 became known, the great question among the Horticulturists of the country, who have evinced a deep 

 interest in the matter, has been, who should succeed to this important iiost. With singular unan- 

 imity, it has been assigned to P. Barry, of Rochester, who has been urgently solicited iu various 

 ways, both publicly and privately, to take charge of the work. This, from the nature of his engage- 

 ments, he could not do while the Horticulturist was published at Albany. The subscriber, who has 

 long been connected with Mr. Barry, as one of the editors of the Genesee Farmer, has therefore pur. 

 chased the Horticulturist, and after the conclusion of the present volume it will be published ax 

 Rochester, and 



EDITED BY P. BARRY, 



assisted by many of the best Horticulturists of th^ country, whose conmiunicntions will materially add 

 to its value. The ARCHITECTURAL DEPARTMENT will be conducted by gentlemen of ability 

 and reputation. 



To render the work accessible to a greater number, and consequently more beneficial, the price 

 will be reduced to Two Dollars per year, in advance, and at the same time various im]irovemeut3 

 made. Each number will contain a full page engraving of some new, rare, and valuable fruit or 

 flower, drawn from nature, and engraved in a style not excelled. 



Still further to add to the value of the work, and meet the improving taste and increasing wants 

 of the horticultural community, we shall also publish an edition with COLORED PLATES, each 

 number containing a full page engraving oi some new, rare, and valuable fruit or flower, correctly 

 colored from nature, by the best living artists in this line. This will be a new and important 

 feature, in this country, and must command th^ attention and patronage of both pi-ofessional qnd 

 amateur Horticulturists. As the number of colored plates we can furnish will be limited, from the 

 care and time required in their prepiiration, those who wish the Colored Edition of the Horticulturist 

 for 1853, will do well to order immediately. Price with colored plates. Four Dollar.s, in advance. 



All who cultivate fruit or flowers should read the Horticidturisf, as it is devoted entirely to Horti- 

 culture and its kindred arts Landscape Gardening and Rural Architecture, and will keep its readers 

 advised of everything new on the subject, either in Europe or America, 



It will be our aim not only to make the Horticulturist superior both in style and matter to any 

 ■work of the character in this country, but equal to any of the Horticultural Journals of Europe ; 

 and we confidently ask the aid and co-operation of the Horticulturists of the country. The work 

 is published monthly, and contains forty-eight large pages, without advertisements, stitclied in a 

 beautiful and appropriate cover. The January number will be issued early in December, and 

 specimen numbers will be sent to all who will interest themselves in its behalf. The volume to 

 conmicnce on the 1st of January, 1853. 



jt^~ All Agents for the Genesee Fanner, Post Masters, and our friends generally, arc invited to 

 act as Agents for the Horticulturist, who shall receive an extra copy of the plain edition for ten 

 dollars sent us according to our terms, and two copies of the plain edition or one of the colored for 

 twenty dollars. Tliose who prefer, may retain twenty per cent, on all subscriptions, to compensate 

 them for their trouble. Addreaa J. VICK, Jk, Publisher,
