THE 



GARDENER'S MONTHLY VOLUME. 



EDITED BY GEORGE W. JOHNSON, ESQ. 

 Author of " The Dictionary of Modern Gardening," " The 

 Gardener's Almanack," eye. 

 AIDED BY SOME OF THE BEST PRACTICAL GARDENERS. 



No work on Gardening exists containing within its pages all the informa- 

 tion relative to each object of the art that the modern progress of knowledge 

 has elicited. This is no fault of the authors, who have gathered together 

 masses of horticul rural knowledge. 



To remedy this admitted deficiency, the series of " The Gardener's 

 Monthly Volume" has been undertaken. Each volume will be devoted 

 to one or more plants cultivated by the gardener ; and will combine all that 

 is useful to be known of each connected with its history, chemical and bo- 

 tanical qualities, modes of culture, uses, diseases, parasitical marauders, 

 and any other relative information ; richly illustrated wherever illustrations 

 will be of utility. 



Each volume'being of itself a book, purchasers may select only such as 

 may suit their wants ; whilst those who take the entire series will possess 

 the most ample store of horticultural knowledge that has ever appeared in 

 a collected form. 



A volume, bound in cloth, price half- a- crown, will appear on the 1st of 

 every month ; and. at the same time, to suit the convenience of purchasers, 

 in half -volumes, with stitched covers, price one shilling each.
