EDITED BY P. BARRY, AUTHOR OF THE "FRUIT GARDEN." 



The Horticidturist, as its name implies, is devoted to Horticulture and its kindred arta Rural Archi- 

 tecture and Landscape Gardening, and will keep its readers advised of every thino- new on the 

 Bubjcct, either in Europe or America. It is a Monthly Journal of forty-eight pages, beautifully 

 printed on the finest paper and elegantly illustra-ted. In addition to numerous wood eagravings, 

 each number contains a full page engraving on stone, of some new, rare, aijd valuable fruit or 

 flower, and is one of the most beautiful as well as the most useful Monthly Journals publislied in the 

 world. We subjoin a few notices by the press, showing the estimation in which the work is held 

 by our editori&l brethren : 



This j)eriodical is got up in excellent style, and Trell sus- 

 tains its former reputation under its present management. 

 Middlebury {Vt.) Regiatm'. 



We are quite satisfied with the work, and are inclined to 

 believe that, to the mass of readers, the worI< will be even 

 more aceeptible than it was under the charge of tlie accom- 

 plished Downing. We recommend the work cordially to 

 the patronage of our friends and the public. — Massachu- 

 tefts Spy. 



Its contents embrace a variety of subjects, treated upon 

 in the most scientific manner. The illustrations are numer- 

 ous and well executed. We know of no other work of the 

 kind on this continent that can compare with the Horticul- 

 turist.— Z>ai7y Spectator, UamUton. 



This magazine has lost nothing by falling into the bands 

 of i;s present proprietor, Mr. Vick, of Rochester; for he 

 maintains its neat typographical experience, while the new 

 editor, Mr. Barry brings to its editorial management abili- 

 ties of a high order. — Gazette, Keeseville, N. Y. 



The Horticulturist is almost invaluable to the fruit grower, 

 and to the gardener, and it ought to be in the hands of 

 every one. The new editor, Mr. Barry, proves his emi- 

 nent fitness for the post so lately filled by the lamented 

 Downing. — Watch Tower, Adrian, Mich. 



This publication embraces a wide field, and has some- 

 thing instructive for every reader. Its artistical embellish- 

 ments and mechanical execution are of the highest order; 

 fur this we give credit to the publisher. Its editorials are 

 practical, scientific, varied, and instructive. Its corres- 

 pondence embraces some of the ablest horticultural writers 

 in the Union. — BeyiMer and Exami/ier, West Cheiter, Pa. 



This useful monthly, instead of losing interest as many 

 feared it would in consequence of the death of itvS lamented 

 proprietor and editor, Mr. Downing, continues to fully 

 maintain its reputation. In fact the present e<litor and 

 and publisher appear to be using their best endeavors to 

 raise it higher in public estimation than before. It is an 

 eminently practical work, and therefore well fulfills its 

 promises. No one who has anything to do with gardens, 

 trees, slirubs plants, or flowers, should fail to be among its 

 readers. — Jitfics and Advertiser, Middletawn, Conn. 



We are glad the work has fallen into such excellent 

 hands. — Louisville Ji/it-rnal. 



We feel that we are doing our reader? a real service when 

 we urge tliem to subscribe for this invaluable monthly. — 

 WeeMy I>emocrati<i Press, Chicago. 



We congratulate the public on having so valuable a peri- 

 odical as the Horticulturist mthin their reach. — N0W York 

 Day Book. 



Its contents are spirited and various, the selections judi- 

 cioas, the ilU;strations elaborate. — Neio York Daily Tim0. 



A standard work of authority upon al subjects discussed 

 or explained in it. — Vickstnirj Whiff. 



There is no work inthis country of greater value to the 

 cultivator of faults. — Inquirer, Portland, Me. 



It is well got up ; its articles able, various, and appropri- 

 ate. — Qenefca Courier. 



Every man who has land enough for a garden should 

 possess this work. — Weedsport Advertiser. 



The plfttes alone are worth the year's subscription. The 

 letter press is of a highly instructive character, and embraces 

 a variety of topics. None who have a taste for the beauti- 

 ful in namre should be without such a valuable publication. 

 — IlamHton {C.W.) Spectator. 



There is substantial profit as well as pleasure in cultiva- 

 ting taste in buildings, yards, gardens, &c., and the sub- 

 scription i)rice would be capital well invested by those who 

 will attend to the contents of the Horticulturist. — Daily 

 Courier, ZanesviUe, Ohio. 



Any remarks of our own we fear would add nothing in 

 comparison with the value of such a well conducted work. 

 The plan of coloring the plates is decidedly beautiful, and 

 no person interested in horticultural pursuits should be 

 without iL It seems a wonder to us that horticulturists do 

 not look more to their own interests, than to allow their 

 monthly papers to bo received without this indispensible 

 accompaniment. The circulation ought to reach half a 

 million. Although the number issued is already extensive, 

 yet it should be inere.ised. from the fact that it is a work of 

 great merit. — Port Byron {N. Y.) Gasette. 



Tkrms — $2 per year, in advance. The volume commenced on the 1st of January last, and we 

 can supply back numbers from that time. Those who prefer can commence with the (half year) 

 July number. 



Colored Plates. — Still further to add to the value of the work, and meet the improving taste 

 and increasing wants of the horticultural community, an edition is published with COLORED 

 PLATES, each nxmiber containing a full page engraving of some new, rare, and valuable fruit or 

 flower, correctly colored from nature by the best living artists in this line. This is a new and 

 important feature, in this country. Price $4: a year, in advance.
