The Editors of " Tilton's Journal of Horticulture " cordially invite all in- 

 terested 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 tliem 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 horticulture. 



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

 experience for our "Notes and Gleanings," and also the results of experi- 

 ments. 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 requi- 

 site number of stamps. 



A. M., Richmond, Va. — It would be almost impossible for us to name for 

 you a complete collection of the "grasses, cyperaceae, and junceas of Virginia." 

 Sucli an undertaking would consume more time and require more study than 

 our editors can give. We hold ourselves ready to answer questions of corre- 

 spondents ; but can hardly undertake to name for any one all the plants growing 

 in any State, when by a little study he may ascertain the names of most himself
