THE PHILADELPHIA FLORIST. 347 



-SsGc § 



\£j Rural New Yorker, Rochester, N. Y., is a neat and lively weekly, pj 

 Cy° devoted to agriculture, horticulture, and general education, inter- c {j 

 / spersed with choice articles from the best sources, and is without <| 

 doubt a valuable and favorite family newspaper. . 



The Farmer and Artizan, Portland, Maine, is a neatly printed 

 Monthly, generally made up of articles from the leading horticultural 

 and agricultural periodicals, with judicious articles by Marcian 

 Seavey, its editor. 



The Pennsylvania Farm Journal reaches us at intervals. The 

 December number has been received — it is now published at West 

 Chester. The last number contains notes by "Viator" of the Wood- 

 lands and Bartram's Garden, which will interest the lovers of these 

 favorite haunts. 



The Pennsylvania School Journal, Lancaster, Pa., has also been 

 received, and promises to be a valuable aid to those engaged in edu- 

 cation, and is carried on with spirit and with valuable communica- 

 tions; but if the teachers cannot make a good periodical who should 

 we expect would. The Hon. T. H. Burrows is editor. 



The Southern Cultivator, Columbius, Ga. is devoted to Southern 

 agriculture and horticulture, and is a great assistance to the horticul- 

 turists and others of that portion of the Union where it is published. 

 The Soil of the South, Augusta, Ga., is similar in character and 

 object to the last mentioned, and advocates Southern agricultural 

 rights. 



The Farmer's Companion, is the title of a new candidate publish- 

 ed at Detroit, Michigan, at fifty cents per year. It is neatly printed, 

 and we hope from the fact that it is a work of love, that it will be 

 supported by all interested. It has a strong editorial troupe and pro- 

 mises well. 



The Western Reserve Farmer and Dairyman, is devoted to 

 the agriculture of the western reserve of Ohio, and treats the farmers 

 of the locality to valuable information connected with their opera- 

 tions. It is also one dollar a year, and published at Ashtabula, Jeffer- 

 son County, Ohio. 



The Genessee Farmer, is by far the neatest and best established 

 of cheap agricultural and horticultural periodicals. The volume for 

 1852 has just been completed, and the horticultural standing of 

 P. Barry, the editor of this department, makes the information con- 

 tained in it valuable. In his capacity of editor of the '-Horticultu- 

 rist" we hope to be more familiar with his writings. 



The Irish Industrial Exhibition will take place in May; a committ- 

 Jj tee has been appointed in this city. Qm
