The Caledonian Gardener's Magazine^ in quarterly 8vo 

 Numbers, 35. each, is projected at Edinburgh. According to 

 the prospectus, " most of the articles in English Gardener's 

 Magazines being adapted to a climate warmer than that which 

 lies north of the Tweed, they are altogether unfit for Scottish 

 practice : the Caledonian Magazine^ therefore, will be confined 

 exclusively to communications adapted to the climate of Scot- 

 land." 



The Young Gardener's Monthly Magazine, in monthly 

 Numbers, small 8vo, 6d. each, will appear in London in 

 October next. It will embrace every department of Garden- 

 ing, and will include Natural History, Cottage Economy, 

 Agriculture, and Rural Architecture, as far as these are 

 necessary for the instruction of gardeners, and are connected 

 with life in the country. The object of this work will be, less 

 to include an extensive correspondence, than to describe the dif- 

 ferent operations of gardening, and explain them scientifically. 



J. F. Royle, Esq. F.L.S. &c., late Superintendent of the 

 East India Company's botanic garden at Saharunpore, is pre- 

 paring for publication Illustrations of the Botany and other 

 branches of the Natural History of the Himalayan Mountains, 

 and of the Flora of Cashmere. The coloured lithographed 

 figures, exhibited as specimens, of this work indicate that it 

 is to be produced in a superior style. 



The Prince de Salm-Dyck is about to publish Monographia 

 Generum et Specierum Aloes et Mesembryanthemi Iconi- 

 bus illustrata : A Monograph, illustrated by figures, of the 

 Aloes and Mesembryanthemums. — This will be gladdening 

 news to every botanical reader. The Pi'ince de Salm-Dyck 

 is well known in this country as a promoter of botany, and as 

 having paid especial attention to the aloes and mesembry- 

 anthemums, of which he cultivates an extensive collection, and 

 has done so for many years. He has long been in a course of 

 correspondence and interchange with A. H. Haworth, Esq., 

 Chelsea, as the writings of this gentleman on aloes and 

 mesembryanthemums, of which he also grows an extensive 

 collection, attest; and it may be pretty safely asserted, that, 

 among the botanists now in the world, none are so intimately 

 acquainted with the plants spoken of as are Mr. Haworth and 

 the Prince de Salm-Dyck. At length the prince is about to pub- 

 lish the result of his experience on them, and the arrangements 

 for the publication are committed to Arnz and Co. of Diissel- 

 dorf ; who give, in their prospectus, the following information 

 on the terms and intentions : — The aloes will be the subject 

 of one monograph, the mesembryanthemums of another.
