EDITED BY P. BAERY, AUTHOR OF THE "FRTJIT GARDEN/ 



TiTE Horticulturist, as its name implies, is devoted to Horticulture and its kindred arts Rural Archi- 

 tecture and Landscape Gardening, and will keep its readers advised of every thing ne-w on tlie 

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

 printed on the finest paper and elegantly illustraited. In addition to numerous wood engravings, 

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

 flower, and is one of the most beautiful as well as tlie most useful Monthly Journals published in tho 

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

 bv our editorial brethren: 



"We arc glad the work has fallen into such exocUent 

 hands. — Zo « i-^'HiJi- JinKnuil. 



We foe! Uiat wo an- doins our readers a real servioe ■when 

 we urgL- LlK'in to siibscribo fnr this invalnablo monthly. — 



We congratulate the public on having so valuable a peri- 

 odical as the Ilorticulturiat within their reach. — New Yoi-k 

 Day Book. 



Its contonis are spirited and various, the eelectiona Judi- 

 ciiHis, the illnsU'al3ons elaborat<'. — Nfic York Datli/ Tiin-i^. 



A standard work of auttiority upon aT sulyects disca»ed 

 or exialalnod in it. — Vicksl/urj Whig. 



There is no work in thi.s country of p-eater ralue to the 

 oullivator of fruits. — hi-qurirer, I'oHUiud, Ate. 



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

 ate. — O^K-va Charier. 



Every man who hns land enough for a garden should 

 posaesti this work. — WeecjHport Advertiser. 



The platfs alone »ro worth the year's subscription. The 

 letter press is of a hiichly Iji.struciivo charactir, and wnbraces 

 a variety of topics. None who have a Ui.ste for llie bcauti- 

 fu] In nature fihoiild l>e witlmut such a v;iluable puWication. 

 — Hamilton {C. W.) Spe-c-utior. 



There is substnntial profit a.s well as pleasure in cultiva- 

 ting taste in buil^iin'pi, yards, gardens, <tc., and the sub- 

 scription price would bo capital well inve.sUid by those who 

 will attend to the contents of tiio Horticulturist.— X>Ui7i' 

 (Xmrier, Zaiy-sviU^, Ohio. 



Any remarks of our own we fear would add nothing in 

 comparison with the value of such a well conducted work. 

 The pl»n of coloring the platevs is de/'ide<lly beautiful, and 

 no person interested in horticultural pursuit;i should be 

 without it. It seems a wonder to us that horticuUnrisIs do 

 not look more to their own intenwts, than to allow llieir 

 monthly papers to bo received without this indispensiblo 

 aocon,ipaniment. The circulation ought to reach half a 

 million. Although the number i&sued is already extensive, 

 yet it should bo increased, from the fact that it is a work of 

 great merit — Port Bip'cyn (iV. T.) Gazette, 



This periodical is got np in excellent style, and well sns- 

 t,iins its former reputation under its present man.igement. 

 MidtlMrury { Vt.) Uegiitor. 



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

 believe tbtit, to Uio ma.'^s of reft<ler3, the work will be even 

 more acceptlble tlian it was under the charge of tlie aceom- 

 pILshM I)o^\"iiing. We recommend the work cordially to 

 Uie i)iUroflago ot oiu" friends and the publia. — MaasacJ^u- 

 ictit Spy. 



Its cimtents embrace a variety of subjects, treated upon 

 in the most scientific manner. The illustrations are numer- 

 ous and well execute<l. We know of no other work of tho 

 kind on this continent that can compare with the Horticul- 

 turist. — l>aily S2>eci<itor, Uaiinlton. 



This magazine ha.s lost nothing by falling Into the h.^nds 

 of its present proprietor, Mr. Vice, of Rochester; for he 

 maintains its neat typographical exjierii^nce, while the new 

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

 ties of a high order. — Oti-zMe, Ke-enevill/', N. Y. 



The Horticulturist is almost invaluable to the fruitgrower, 

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

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

 nent fitness for tho post so lately filled by the lamented 

 Downing. — Watch Tower, Adriait, Mich. 



Tliis 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; 

 for this wo give credit to the publisher. Its editorials are 

 jiraclical, sclcntiflc, varied, and instructive. Its corres- 

 pondence embraces some of tho ablest horticultural writ<'rs 

 in tho Union. — lieyisi^r mtd E\ramin«r, West Cheater, Pa. 



This useful montlily, instead of losing interest as many 

 feared it would in consequence of the death of il.s lamented 

 proprietor and editor, Mr. Downino, continues to fully 

 maintain its reputation. In fact the present editor and 

 and piiblisher appe^ir to be nsing their be«t endeavors to 

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

 cminenUy practical work, and therefore well fulfills ita 

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

 trees, shnibs, plants, or flowers, should fail to be among it« 

 readers. — Nowa and Adoertie^r, MiddleU/ion, Conn. 



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

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

 July number. 



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

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

 PLATIS, each number 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 pew and 

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