THE 



GARDENER'S MONTHLY VOLUME. 



EDITED BY GEORGE W. JOHNSON, ESQ. 



Author of " The Dictionary of Modem Gardening," " The 

 Gardener' s Almanack," ^c. 

 AIDED BY SOME OF THE BEST PRACTICAL GARDENERS. 

 No work on Gardening exists containing within its pages all 

 the information relative to each object of the art that the mo- 

 dern progress of knowledge has elicited. This is no fault of 

 the authors, who have gathered together masses of horticultural 

 knowledge. 



To remedy this admitted deficiency, the series of The Gar- 

 dener's Monthly Volume" has been undertaken. Each 

 volume will be devoted to one or more plants cultivated by the 

 gardener ; and will combine all that is useful to be known of 

 each connected with its history, chemical and botanical quali- 

 ties, modes of culture, uses, diseases, parasitical marauders, and 

 any other relative information ; richly illustrated wherever illus- 

 trations will be of utility. 



Each volume being of itself a book, purchasers may select 

 only such as may suit their wants ; whilst those who take the 

 entire series will possess the most ample store of horticultural 

 knowledge that has ever appeared in a collected form. 



A volume, bound in cloth, price half-a-crown, will appear 

 on the 1st of every month ; and, at the same time, to suit the 

 convenience of purchasers, in half- volumes, with stitched 

 covers, price one shilling each.
