 equally for the professional and anrntenT."— Leamington Spa Courier.

 of residents in the vicinity of towns who have small gardens, yet who, possessing little knowledge 

 of the art, require to be instructed and directed in plain language."— iJerwict Warder.

 well-written periodical."— Peri/is/izre Advertiser.
