564 Floricultural and Botanical Notices, 



not flower after ten years' growth in this country ; and the other 

 in fruit, or in seed, or as it appears in autumn, if it does not form 

 fruit in this country at the same age,) will be all to the scale of two 

 inches to a foot. We shall give no drawings which have not been 

 made from nature ; and shall describe no species which we have 

 not seen ourselves in the arboretum of the Horticultural Society 

 or of Messrs. Loddiges, or in some nursery or garden within 

 ten miles of London. By giving all the portraits, exhibiting 

 entire trees or shrubs of the size which they attain in ten years, 

 to the same scale (which, as far as we know, has never been 

 done in a botanical work before), those who propose to plant 

 will see at once what they have to expect in ten years ; adding a 

 little to the bulk of the tree for countries south of London, and 

 deducting proportionately for those to the north. 



To the above particulars we would request the attention of 

 the Curators of all Botanic Gardens : of all Nurserymen who 

 keep specimen trees ; of all the Proprietors of Arboretums, or 

 the Gardeners who have charge of them ; and of all Gardeners 

 who have foreign hardy trees and shrubs, young or old, under 

 their care. All information for No. I. should reach us as early 

 as possible in November, as nothing can be used in the first 

 Number which is not received in the course of that month. 

 Letters, &c, in addition to our address at our publishers', must 

 have the words Arboretum Britannicum on the cover. All com- 

 munications received will be duly acknowledged in the work.
