7693. The Dutch excel more in the practice than in the literature of gardetiing. The 

 works of La Court, and Van Osten, the former little known, are among the best that 

 have been produced. There are none of recent date of any consequence. The 

 Journal of a Horticultural Tour in Holland, Flanders, Sec. by a deputation of the 

 Caledonian Horticultural Society, gives the best idea of the state of gardening in that 

 part of the Continent in 1817.

 A knowledge of the present state cf culture in Sweden is best obtained by reference to 

 the transactions of the Stockholm and Upsal Academies.
