THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE AND AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE. 



[1M 



NEW FARMERS' NEWSPAPER. 



Ta* time has come when Landlords and Tenants, large Farmers and small, must d.votc their anxious attention to improved cultivation -when, in the words of Sir Robert Peel, u^ 

 learnhow, in the +oHmt time, and at the leant expense, to produce the greatest quantity of/ood, vegetable or unmal, without permanent injury to thelini." To accomplish this, no means caab 

 effSBtual a. th it which bring, the results of Experience and Science before every man, in a cheap form. For this purpose The AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE ,s established. "• 



The Proprietors are aware of the difficulties of dealing with the many details of cultivation without an acquaintance with circumstances, often as varying as places. They condemn the V 



conducting farming operations upon one invariable plan ; and, while they welcome science as the best auxiliary of practice, they regard crude speculations as the mo^dangerous of delusion,. 





they also feel that in Agriculture, as in all other arts, there are general principles upon which successful farming must depend j that there are practical errors which no local circumstances can] 

 in short, that there is room for improvement even in those branches which are best understood. No one man can be c >mpetent to deal with the multifarious questions affecting husbandry, ** * 



of such a Pajeras Thk AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE, is to make known the knowledge of all. It is to practical Farmers that the Proprietors trust for the means of 



duty of the Editor o 



out their views, and not to the talents of any individual. While, therefore, they state that the Editor of Thk AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE is a gentleman well acquainted with the be«2 

 of Farming, in which he is actively engaged, they feel it to be of far more importance to announce the promise of assi it »ncc received from the landed and farming interest generally, especially of ^ 

 whose name, they are permitted to mention :- ^ ^ ^ ^^ prM|dent rf ^ Rq ^ -g||— ^ Society of En&land .

The Practice of Agriculture— its Science— Animal and Vegetable Physiology— Improvements in Implements— better modes of Husbandry— results of well-conducted experimental Fanaiaf- 

 Growth and Rotation of Crops-Stock— Drainage- Irrigation— Foresting-Road-making-Farm-Buildings— Labourers— in short, whatever affects the beneficial employment of capital in Int- 

 will form topics of consideration. Reports will be given of the English, Scotch, and Irish Agricultural Societies-London Market Prices of Corn, Hay, and Cattle, and the Weekly Averages. Refit 

 to questions connected with the object of the Paper will also be furnished weekly. 



Considering the anion which exist! between Horticulture and Agriculture, it has been thought advisable to make Thk AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE an addition to the Gabonim' 

 Chroniclb, edited by Da. Li lkv, and so extensively known ; but that there may be ample room for discussion, that Paper has been increased one-half in size without additional charge— thus Tie* 

 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. 



This day, then/ore, January 20th, is published, price SIXPENCE, stamped to go free by post, the Third Number of

THE HORTICULTURAL PART EDITED BY PROFESSOR LINDLEY, 



f 



« 



Thk principle on which the Gardening part of this Paper is conducted is to make it a weekly |record of everything that bears upon Horticulture, Floriculture, Arboriculture, or (*■» 

 Botany, and such Natural History as has a relation to Gardening, with Notices and Criticisms of all works on such subjects. Connected with this part are WEEKLY CALENDARS 

 GARDENING OPERATIONS, given in detail, and adapted to the objects of persons in every station of life j so that the Cottager with a few rods of ground before his door, the Amateur who hu«ei 

 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 Horticaie* 

 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 pleM» 

 of his employer ; accompanied with Woodcuts, whenever the matter treated of requires that mode of illustration. ' 



To this Farming, as explained above, is now 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, to 

 Proprietors do not range themselves under the banners of any party; their earnest endeavours are to make The Gardeners' Chronicle a full and comprehensive Record of Factsooj 

 NEWSPAPER In the true sense of the word— leaving the reader to form his own opinions: their object being elucidation of the laws of Nature, not of man. The reader is thus furnished, in add 

 to 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 Weekly Paper.
