THE HORTICULTURIST 



A.^^D JOlJKi^/lL OF RURAL ART A^D RURAL TASTE. 



The HoRticuLTtiRiST is a Monthly Journal, devott-J to Horticlltuee and its kindred Arts, Rcral ARcmTECTCRii 

 and Landscape Gardening. It is edited bv P. Barry, the Anther of that popular work, The Fruit Garden^ 

 and for many years the Horticultural Editor of the Genesee Farmer, Mr. Barry is univei-sally acknowledged 

 to be one of the best Pomologists in the world, and eminently fitted for this responsible station. He is aided 

 by the best Horticulturists in the country. 



ITS SIZE AND APPEARANCE. 



The HoRticrLTORisT is a Magazine of forty-eight pages, without advertisements ; and when Xursery and 

 other adyertisements are inserted, it is on a separate sheet, which can readily be removed before bindinig. 

 It is printed on beautiful clear type, and on the finest paper, and 



ITS ILLUSTRATIONS ARE SUPERB, BOTH ON WOOD AND STONE, 



It is stitched in a neat and appropriate cover, and makes a volume at the end of the year of nearly 600 

 pages. Each number, in addition to numerous "Wood Engravings, contains a Fron-tespiece on Stoxe, of some 

 fine Fruit or Flower, drawn and engraved from nature, by the very best living Artists. These plates alone ara 

 worth more to every Fruit Grower than the cost of the work, enabling eveiy one to judge not only of the 

 appearance, but the character of eacli, as every plate is accompanied with full and correct descriptions. In 

 addition to these are fine elegant 



DESIGNS FOR COTTAGES, COUNTRY SEATS, SUMMER HOUSES, ARBORS, RUSTIC 



BRIDGES. 



In short, nothing escapes notice that can make a Country Home pleasant and beautiful. While the HoRTictJi' 

 TURisT is at least in appearance equal to any work published in the country, the publisher has the satisfaction 

 of knowing that the be?t Pomologists and the Press both in this country and in Europe pronounce the Horti- 

 culturist AND Journal of Rural Art and Rural Taste to be the best Horticxdtural Journal in the world. 



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

 'cultural community, we also publish an edition with Colored Plates, each number containing a full page en- 

 graving of some iic:w, rare, and valuable fruit or flower, correctly colored from nature by the best living artista 

 in this line.

 |)ondents. Then follow some six or eight pages of Foreign Notices, containing everything new and important

 to the learner this department is a very valuable part of the work, as it contains simple and invaluable dire*- 

 tions for the unitiated in almost every department of Gardening, given in answer to numerous inquiries.
