THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE 



AND 



AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE ; 



A Weekly Journal (registered for transmission abroad), 



Devoted to the interest* of all Branches of Horticulture, Agriculture, and Collateral 



Subjects. 



Published every Saturday, price Fivepence, or Sixpence stamped. 



Established in 1841 by the late Professor Lindley in conjunction with Sir Joseph 

 Paxton and other leading Horticulturists, the ' GARDENERS' CHRONICLE and 

 AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE' has, as circumstances have demanded, been enlarged in 

 size, and its scope rendered more comprehensive, so that it still remains the largest and 

 most important of all the periodicals devoted to Horticulture and Agriculture, either in this 

 country or abroad. 



Thanks to the Contributors and Correspondents — including amongst them almost all 

 the leading Horticulturists, Agricidturists, and Men of Science of the Kingdom — Original 

 Articles on all matters connected with the subjects of which the Journal treats are given. 

 The principles of Animal and Vegetable Physiology, of Botany, and of Natural His- 

 tory generally, so far as they have a bearing on Practical Horticulture and Agricul- 

 ture, are explained. The fullest information is supplied as to improved methods of Cul- 

 ture, New Implements, and all points connected with the Cultivation of Flowers, Fruits, 

 Forests, &c. ; the Management of Estates, Farms, Gardens, Orchards, Woods, or Stock ; 

 the details of Field Cultivation ; the practice of Drainage and Irrigation, the Veterinary 

 Art, Road-making, the Keeping of Bees, Poultry, &c. ; the Construction, Maintenance, 

 Heating, and Ventilation of all Garden or Farm Buildings ; in short, of all matters con- 

 nected with the Practice of Horticulture, Agriculture, Forestry, Fruit Cul- 

 ture, and Rural Economy generally. 



New Plants, Fruits, &c. are described in a manner to be serviceable alike to the 

 Cultivator and the Man of Science. 



Reports of important Metropolitan and Provincial Exhibitions, as well as of all 

 Societies, Lectures, &c, likely to be interesting to the Horticulturist or Agriculturist, 

 are supplied in addition to Weekly Reports of the various Markets for Corn, Hay, Hops, 

 Cattle, Flowers, Fruit, Timber, &c. 



The columns devoted to Home Correspondence serve to bring to light a vast 

 amount of varied and interesting information. 



Owing to the extensive circulation of the ' GARDENERS' CHRONICLE and AGRI- 

 CULTURAL GAZETTE ' abroad and in the Colonies, the department devoted to Foreign 

 Correspondence forms a valuable and interesting feature of the Journal. 



Reviews of Books whose subjects come within the scope of the Journal are supplied, 

 while under the head of Garden and Farm Memoranda are from time to time given 

 Notices of such Gardens, Farms, or Estates as are likely to furnish materials for the in- 

 formation of the reader. 



A Calendar of Weekly Operations as well as Notes for Amateurs supply valu- 

 able suggestions to Practical Gardeners and others, and in the Notices to Correspondents 

 replies are furnished to any questions that may be asked, such replies being given by men 

 of the highest reputation in their respective departments. 



Woodcuts are given whenever the nature of the subject requires them. 



Embracing so large a field, addressed to so many classes of readers, and with so large a 

 Circulation, not only in Great Britain but on the continent, in India, and the various 

 Colonies, the 'GARDENERS' CHRONICLE and AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE ' 

 affords an exceptionally good Medium for Advertisements, the more so as, in addition to 

 the special features of the Journal, there is a General Newspaper, in which a careful 

 Summary of the News of the Week is given without leaning towards this or that party, so 

 that the reader is put in possession of the facts and is enabled to draw his own inferences 

 from them.
