j THE GARDENERS’ 
NEW FARMERS’ NEWSPAPER. 
Tur time has come when Landlords and Tenants, large Farmers and small, must devote their anxious attention to improved cultivation—when, in the words of Sir Robert Peel, ‘Al! must 
learn how, in the shortest time, and at the least expense, to produce the greatest quantity of food, vegetable or animal, without permanent injury to the land.” To accomplish this, no means can be so 
effectual as that which brings the results of Experience and Science before every man, inacheap form. For this purpose Tas AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE is to be established. 
with ci often as varying as places, They condemn the idea of 
But, 
The Proprietors are aware of the difficulties of dealing with the many details of cultivation without an 
conducting farming operations upon one invariable plan; and, while they weicome science as the best auxiliary of practice, they regard crude speculations as the most dangerous of delusions. 
they also feel that in Agriculture, as in all other arts, there are general principles upon which successful farming must depend ; that there are practical errors which no local circumstances can justify ; 
in short, that there is room for improvement even in those branches which are best understood. No ong man can be competent to deal with the multifarious questions affecting husbandry, and the 
duty of the Editor of such a Paperas Tax AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE is to make known the knowledge of all. It is to practical Farmers that the Proprietors trust for the means of carrying 
out their views, and not to the talents of any individual. While, therefore, they state that the Editor of Tus AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE will be a gentleman well acquainted with the best kind 
of Farming, in which he is actively engaged, they feel it to be of far more importance to announce the promise of assistance received from the landed and farming interest generaily, especially of those

Considering the union which exists between Horticulture and Agriculture, it has been thought advisable to make Tuk AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE an addition to the Garprners’ 
Crronicix, edited by Da. Linpuey, and so extensively known; but that there may be ample room for discussion, that Paper wild be increased one-half in size without additional charge—thus Twenty- 
four Columns will be occupied, as at present, by Horticulture, and Twenty-four by the General News of the Week, whilst 
Twenty-four Columns will be devoted to Agriculture:

A GAeckly WRecord of Rural Beonomp and Cheneval Netvs. 
THE HORTICULTURAL PART EDITED BY PROFESSOR LINDLEY, 
THE Pete on which the Gardening part of this Paper has been conducted has been to make it a weekly record of everything that bears upon Horticulture, Floriculture, Arboriculture, or 
Garden Botany, and such Natural History as has @ relation to Gardening, with Notices and Criticisms of all works on such subjects. Connected with thispart are WEEKLY CALENDARS OF 
cisekaee OPERATIONS, given in detail, and adapted to the objects of persons in every station of life; so that the Cottager with a few rods of ground before his door, the Amateur who has only 4 
a greenhouse, and the Manager of extensive gardens, are alike informed of the routine of operations which the varying seasons render necessary. It moreover contains reports of Horticultural 
Exhibitions and Proceedings— Notices of Novelties and Improvements—in short, everything that can tend to advance the profession, benefit the condition of the workman, or conduce to the pleasure 
of his employer; accompanied with Woodcuts, whenever the matter treated of requires that mode of illustration. 
To this Farming, as explained above, will now be added. 
Lastly, that description of domestic and political News is introduced which is usually found in a Weekly Newspaper. It is unnecessary to dwell on this head further than to say, that the 
Proprietors do not range themselves under the banners of any party; their earnest endeavours have been to make Tue GARDENERS’ Curonicux a full and comprehensive Record of Facts only—a 
‘Newspaper in the true sense of the word—leaving the reader to form his own opinions; their object being clucidation of the laws of Nature, not of man, The reader is thus furnished, 1n ADDITION TO z 
THE PECULIAR FEATURES OF THE JOURNAL, with such information concerning the events of the day as supersedes the necessity of his providing himself with any other Weckly Paper. : 
The Proprietors are happy to announce that the following distinguished Botanists, Florists, and Practical Gardeners have already enriched the GArpEners’ CuronicueE by their communications :—
