The volume for this year, of this excellent work, is replete 

 with valuable information ; and, if the bulk and consequent 

 price of the volume do not prevent its being generally pur- 

 chased throughout France, it must there much contribute to 

 diffuse scientific views of vegetable nature ; for, to the credit 

 of its compilers, it is not a book of mere empirical pre- 

 scriptions, but one in which are given able abstracts of the 

 ♦' principes generaux du jardinage," and of the " notions 

 d'anatomie et de physiologic vegetale," &c. The editors 

 speak in high terms of M. Noisette's Jardin Fruitier, and 

 have derived much of the information which they furnish on 

 various kinds of fruit from its pages. 



The Revue Horticole was published by the same editors in 

 the spring of 1829, and is continued at rather short intervals. 

 Its office is to gather up and register information for the 

 annual enrichment of Lie Bon Jardinier, and to supply early 

 information of new works on, and discoveries and improve- 

 ments in, horticulture. The number of the Revue Horticole, 

 which accompanies the present volume of Le Bo?i Jardinier, 

 consists of sixty pages, which are occupied with notices of 

 new works ; new kinds of vegetables brought into, and old 

 kinds discarded from, cultivation ; newly invented garden 

 tools ; the meetings and proceedings of societies connected 

 with horticulture, and other matter; all which, together, must 

 render the Revue Horticole a welcome messenger to every 

 one who has an affection for gardening.
