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 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 wliich 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 tliis 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. 



Inquirer, Marlborough, Mass. — You will find a description of Van Buren's 

 Golden Dwarf at vol. ii. p. 171 of this Journal, and of the Italian Dwarf at p. 287 

 of the same volume. The fruit of the former is a clingstone of good quality, 

 though not so fine flavored at the North as in its native region. The tree is 

 very handsome, with ample foliage of a fine color ; and is worth growing as an 

 ornamental object. The Italian Dwarf is almost too dwarfish to be useful.
