EDITED BY P. BAERY, AUTHOR OF THE "FRIHT GARDEN." 



The noRTiouLTDRisT, as its name implies, is devoted to Horticulture and its kindred arts, 

 Rural Architecture and Landscape Gardening, and will keep its readers advised of every thing 

 new on the subjects, either in Europe or America. It is a Monthly Journal of forty-eight pages 

 of reading matter, beautifully printed on the finest paper, and elegantly illustrated. In addi- 

 tion to numerous wood engravings, each number contains a full page engraving on stone, of 

 some new, rare, and valuable fruit or flower, and is at least one of the most beautiful Journals 

 in the country ; and the publisher will not rest satisfied untU the HORTICULTURIST, AND 

 JOURNAL OF RURAL ART AND RURAL TASTE, is acknowledged to be the best Hor- 

 ticultural Journal in tlie world. The honor of American Horticulture requiree this — interest 

 and patriotism alike demand it. With proper support from the Horticulturists of the country, 

 I have full confidence this point can be reached. To accomplish this desu-able end, the pub- 

 lisher has determined to devote his whole time and attention to this work, and his connection 

 with the Genesee Fanner as one of its editors (and in reality its publisher), which post he has 

 filled since 1849, Avill therefore cease with the present volume. 



Mr. Barry, sO long and so favorably known as the Horticultural editor of the Genesee 

 Farmer^ is the editor of this work ; and those who wish to continue to receive the benefit of 

 his valuable instructions in Fruit Growing, can do so by subscribing for the Hoetioulturist, 

 and in no other way. 



The new volume will commence on the first of January. The January number wiU be 

 ready to deliver to subscribers by the 10th or 12th of December. 



"We shall take pleasure in sending specimen numbers to aU who desire to inspect them, or 

 show them to their friends. 



Many would do themselves and their neighbors good service by becoming agents, and 



obtaining subscribers among their friends and neighbors. No man who raises Fruit or Trees 



can afibrd to do without the Horticulturist. Agents wUI be allowed a com m ission of 



25 per cent. 



Terms — $2 per year, in advance.
