Germany. 



Joanneum de Gratz, 15th Report. Vienna. 4to. 



This is the title of an institution founded by the Archduke John of 

 Austria, for the encouragement of agricultural and manufactorial industry. 

 It is held at Gratz, in Stiria, and has been principally instrumental in intro- 

 ducing improved breeds of animals. Considerable progress has also been 

 made, under its direction, in the manufacture of cloth from goats' hair. 



Bernhardi et Volker, Proprietors of an extensive, compiling, printing, and 

 bookselling establishment in Weimar, called the Landes-Industrie-Com- 

 ploirs, or Office of Rural Industry: Neues allgemeines Garten -Magazin, 

 oder gemeinniitzige Beitrage fiir alle Theile des Teutschen Gartenwesens. 

 New General Garden Magazine, or Communications adapted to every 

 Part of Garden Management in Germany. Weimar. 4to. vol. i. part 5. 

 2 col. pis. Part 6, 3 col. pis. and 1 plain. 



Part 5. contains the contents of the Botanical Register, Numbers 110. to 

 114., with illustrative plates of Epidendrum cuspidatum and ciliare, Aeran- 

 thes grandiflora, and Brassia caudata from that work, several papers from 

 the London Horticultural and Caledonian Horticultural Transactions, and 

 an Essay on Landscape Gardening, concluded from No. 4. — No. 6. contains 

 five registers, three papers from the Horticultural Transactions, Mr. Tred- 

 gold's observations on heat, moisture, and evaporation, from our Magazine, 

 and a paper by one of the Editors, Dr. Volker, on agricultural maps, that 

 is, maps showing the different soils and sub-soils of a country." We should 

 be happy if our respectable colaborators would devote a part of their work 

 to a description of the principal parks and gardens in Germany, or to a his- 

 tory of gardening in Germany. What, for instance, is the present state of 

 the park at Weimar, so beautifully described by the Prince de Ligne? We 

 should be happy to translate such a paper. Having pointed out what would 

 render the Garten-Magazin more interesting in England, we should be glad 

 of a similar hint from MM. B. & V., as to what would render the Gar- 

 dener's Magazine more interesting in Germany. 



Loudon's Eneyclop'ddie des Gartentvesens, &c. This work, translated from 

 the English, which has been publishing in parts since 1823, was com- 

 pleted in May last, and forms two thick 8 vo. volumes, with a 4to. volume 

 of plates. Weimar. 13 rthlr. 



Very few gardeners can have much occasion for the German language; but 

 those who have, will find this work, in connection with the English copy, a 

 valuable help to its acquirement. 



Loudon's Eneyclop'ddie des Landwirlhschqft, &c. The first part of this 

 Translation appeared in March last. Weimar. 8vo. 8 gr. 



We should be greatly obliged to the translator if he would give a more 

 complete history of agriculture in Germany than we were able to do. 



Anon. : Kurze und sichere Anleitung zur Waesserung der Weisen, &c. 

 i Short and sure Directions for watering Meadows. Leipzic. 8vo. 6 gr. 



Hazzi, M. de, Counsellor of State of Bavaria, Author of an Essay on the 

 Union of detached Property, (Gard. Mag. vol. i. p. 321.): Vom Diinger 

 als Lebens prineip der Landwirthschaft, &c. On Dung, as the vital Prin- 

 ciple of Agriculture, and on the Abuse of its Employment in Germany, 

 especially in Bavaria. Munich. Pamph. 4to. 5 eng. 



This is a valuable work. Theauthor, following the French writers, divides 

 the different species of manures into two orders; the first, diinger (fumiers), 

 dungs, properly so called, containing matters of animal or vegetable origin;
