EXTRACTS FROM REVIEWS. 



"It is full of information of the most valuable kind to the professional and 

 amateur cultivator ; and as its price is only sixpence, it is fairly within the reach 

 of all classes requiring its counsel and advice." Bristol Daily Press. 



" We can safely recommend our horticultural reader to study the pages of ' The 

 Gardener.' " Whitehaven Herald. 



"The 'Gardener' is a most excellent gardening magazine, replete with informa- 

 tion adapted equally for the professional and amateur." Leamington Spa Courier. 



" This is a most useful horticultural publication. It is exactly adapted to that 

 numerous class of residents in the vicinity of towns who have small gardens, yet 

 who, possessing little knowledge of the art, require to be instructed and directed in 

 plain language." Berwick Warder. 



"It is worthy of its name, being, in respect of the quality of its articles, far 

 superior to the ordinary publications professing to supply the literary requirements 

 of prof essional and amateur gardeners." Brighton Gazette. 



t( This magazine increases in interest as the season advances. The papers are of 

 the highest character, and will be read with deep interest by every one who delights 

 in horticultural and floricultural pursuits." Yorkshire Gazette. 



"The series of papers on 'The Flower Garden,' by the Editor, is sufficient to stamp 

 this periodical as one of the very best of its class." Elgin Courier. 



" This periodical is now making the headway it deserves, and such an admirably 

 conducted magazine cannot fail to be accepted as a reference in all horticultural and 

 floricultural matters." The Era. 



"A work so ably conducted, telling of floriculture and horticulture, will be equally 

 acceptable south as north of the Tweed." Herts Guardian. 



"Its staff are practical gardeners, and its articles are consequently reliable rather 

 than striking or novel." Nottinghamshire Guardian. 



" This fresh-looking, cheap monthly has many attractions for the practised gar- 

 dener, as well as the amateur. Its editor is a professional, and he is assisted by a 

 staff of practical gardeners ; and the contents are most interesting to all having a 

 taste for horticulture or floriculture." Ayr Advertiser. 



" The ' Gardener ' justifies by its contents the name it assumes. The various de- 

 partments of ' the garden ' are treated by gentlemen who evidently know of what 

 they write; and as the price is only sixpence, no one is precluded from the in- 

 formation contained in the well-arranged and well-written periodical." Perthshire 

 Advertiser. 



"Both to the professional and the amateur gardener, the magazine is calculated 

 to be a valuable guide and instructor." Huddersfield Examiner. 



"We desire to call special attention to this periodical, because it appears to satisfy 

 a want long felt among amateur gardeners." Bedfordshire Express.
