70 Editorial Miscellany. 



The Typography of the present number does not equal our expecta- 

 tions or fulfill the promise made in our prospectus. This is entiiely owing to 

 the bad working of a new press which we have employed, which although 

 capable of performing good work, requires several trials in order to per- 

 fect its operation. We shall probably have overcome this difficulty be- 

 fore our next appearance. We have also detected a number of errors in 

 the first sheets. It shall be our special business in future to prevent a 

 recurrence of this defect, if practicable. 



PtEroRTS from various Horticultuiul Societies were received too late 

 .for insertion in the present number of our Magazine. We shall be pleased 

 to publish the proceedings of Societies, provided they do not encroach too 

 much upon the space devoted to' other departments. Reports should, 

 jthcrefore, be limited to the more important transactions. 



Several Horticultural Societies inquire " What will be the price of 

 the Neto York Horticultural Review providing we conclude to ofier it as 

 .a premium to persons competing for prizes at our exhibitions." To such 

 we will answer, where not less than ten copies are ordered the price will 

 ■be reduced to 81.50 a year. We shall also be happy to treat with other 

 parties on the same terms ; for $15, in advance, ten copies will be fur- 

 nished for one year to separate addresses. 



It is our intention to send the New York Horticultural Revieiv to ev- 

 ery Post office in the United States. Postmasters receiving this copy 

 jvill please exhibit it to such parties as take an interest in Horticulture, 

 and kindred pursuits. Commission liberal. 



Advertisers will please send in their favors at an early date as possi- 

 ble. Nurserymen and others will find the medium unsurpassed as a 

 channel for giving desirable publicity to their various establishments. As 

 we are printing a large edition for gratuitous distribution, the present 

 number will doubtless reach 20,000 readers. Our tariff of prices will 

 vary somewhat, being governed by the size of the edition published. We 

 •will esteem it a favor not to be troubled with advertisements of quack 

 raedicines, or charlatan operations of any description, as we do not wish 

 to be the medium of deceiving our readers. Where such advertisements 

 ajro received the money will be invariably returned.
