AXTON’S POCKE BOTANICAL 
In what may he called an age of Cyclopedias, when the compres- 
een ofa erent variety of information into one volume, in order to 
pa it wi ersons of all ranks, is so universally 
ught, it ce evidently desirable that ae Gardener, and those con- 
Se eta profession, shoul well accommodated as other 
classes in this particular. No su cae work existing, sg prior 
to the issue of the Present publication, its value will be at once 
apparent ; since it combines the more essential features ote Botanical 
Catalogue, a Hotticul thrid “Guide, and a Technical Glos: 
Besides being of this comprehensive Sesvency it is is capecially 
adapted for He Amateur and Floriculturist ; who may, by carrying 
itin his ee examine all the plants that are at any time submitted 
to his inspection, and immediately derive every intelligence respect~ 
ing the peculiarities or affinities of particular species which could 
reasonably be wished for. in advantage that can only be 
sufficiently estimated by those who have felt the ree oF such an 
assistant ; any such individuals, as well as to agent or 
friend of Horticulture, the Pocket Botanical DisHonary: ie decidedly 
indispensable.
