Mound's Botanic Garden. 457 



Maund, Benjamin, F.L.S. : The Botanic Garden. In monthly 

 Numbers, each containing one plate .bearing figures of 

 four plants, descriptions of the four plants, and an Auc- 

 tarium of two pages, for the communication of notices 

 deemed of interest to cultivators. Large paper, \s. 6d.; 

 small paper. Is. 



This periodical is too well known to justify our mention 

 of it among new publications, were it not that, on June 1., it 

 appeared with an addition of two pages of miscellaneous 

 information on floriculture, and that the two additional pages, 

 which Mr. Maund denominates an Auctarium, are to be con- 

 tinued in every future number, and similarly occupied. This 

 addition to the contents of each number must needs be wel- 

 come to the purchasers of the work. 



From the Auctarium in the June Number, and that in the 

 July one, it appears that the Gardener's Magazine is likely 

 to be liberally drawn on for the supply of the information 

 to be communicated in the Auctarium. This compliment to 

 the merit of our work we might not have cared to note, 

 save with the silence of self-approbation, but for the follow- 

 ing truly notable, yet ominous, notification made by Mr. 

 Maund on the cover of his June number : — "As we do not 

 like to mar the pages of the Auctarium by references to au- 

 thorities, &c., we will give them, when necessary, on the 

 wrapper ; and, perhaps, also with the index : but this must 

 generally be done on a wrapper subsequent to that enclosing 

 the information, as they will oftentimes be printed before 

 the arrangement of the Auctarium pages." As in the above 

 remarks, the words "when necessary," "perhaps," and "a 

 subsequent wrapper," leave to the uncertainty of a " perhaps" 

 what, and when the, citations of the authorities, or sources 

 of information, are to be made, we may now notice that the 

 first paragraph in the Auctarium for June, on growing " cab- 

 bages from slips," is derived from Mr. Kendall's communi- 

 cations in the Gardener's Magazine, Vol. IX. p. 226.; and 

 that a good share of paragraph 8., on devices for iron sup- 

 ports to flowering shrubs and plants, in the July Aucta- 

 rium, is derived from the Gardener's Magazine, Vol. VII. 

 p. 284. Vol. VIII. p. 554. 557. 679.
