The Editors of " The American Journal of Horticulture " cordially invite all 

 interested in horticulture and pomology, in its various branches, to send ques- 

 tions upon any subject upon which information may be desired. Our corps of 

 correspondents is very large, and among them may be found those fully compe- 

 tent to reply to any ordinary subject in the practice of horticulture. Any ques- 

 tions which may be more difficult to answer will be duly noticed, and the 

 respective subjects fully investigated. Our aim is to give the most trustworthy 

 information on all subjects which can be of interest to horticulturists. 



We would especially invite our friends to communicate any little items of 

 experience for our " Notes and Gleanings," and also the results of experiments. 

 Such items are always readable, and of general interest. 



We must, however, request that no one will write to the contributors to our 

 columns upon subjects communicated to the Magazine. 



Any queries of this nature will be promptly answered in our columns. 



Anonymous communications cannot be noticed : we require the name and 

 address of our correspondents as pledges of good faith. 



Rejected communications will be returned when accompanied by the requisite 

 number of stamps. 



G. B., Roxbury, Mass. — I have in my garden plenty of red and white Dutch 



currant-bushes ; but I am advised to root up these, and plant the larger sorts. 



What say you? — Say no. The varieties you have named are among the best. 



We should advise you to plant a few of Versaillaise, Dana's White, and others 



of large size.
