lion the Vermont Poplar, both the Balsam Poplars, the Cotton Poplar, 

 the Northern Cork Elm, the Overcup White Oak, Viola Canadensis and 

 rostrata, Dielytra Canadensis, Uoularia grandifiora, Asplenium angusti- 

 folium, rhizophyllum, and Ruta muraria, &c., besides others to be imme- 

 diately noticed. 



It is due to Mr. Oakes to say, that the distance from the 

 place of publication precluded a very accurate revision of 

 his part of the work, and, therefore, that the mistakes, 

 which would be readily perceived by the botanist, must be 

 attributed to some such source. We trust the time is not 

 far distant, when we shall receive from the labors and en- 

 terprize of another of our naturalists, an accurate list of 

 the native forest trees of Massachusetts, and apprized of 

 the riches of our timber growth, and the extensive relations 

 our forests sustain towards our prosperity, we shall be in- 

 duced to appreciate their real value. X.

Art. II. The Pomological Magazine. By Charles W, 

 Elliott. In large octavo numbers, bi-monthly. Vol. I. 

 No. I. With five Engravings of Fruits. Cincinnati, 1843. 



This is the title of a new Pomological Magazine, the 

 publication of which was commenced on June 1st, in Cin- 

 cinnati, by our correspondent C. W. Elliott. The objects 

 of the work are stated by the editor to be — 



" To furnish to the horticulturist and amateur the means of testing 

 the names of the fruits he already has ; and, when increasing his variety, 

 save him the expense, trouble and disappointment of cultivating the same 

 fruit under different names : 



To invite particular attention to the fruits growing through the West, 

 so as to identify them as known and cultivated sorts, if they are so ; if 

 not, to introduce them to fruit-growers as new fruits : 



With the assistance of the Cincinaati Horticultural Society, to bring 

 forward the apples, plums, and other fruits of this country, which are 

 known to be seedlings, and of acknowledged excellence ; and thus to re- 

 turn, in kind, to our Eastern friends, some of the many benefits derived 

 from them." 



A Magazine conducted upon the plan here laid down, 

 and containing correct engravings and accurate descriptions 

 of fruits, must serve as a valuable auxiliary to the cultiva-
