LEADING FEATURES for 1908. 



Beautiful and Interesting Gardens will receive 

 prominent attention during 1908, and be freelv 

 described and illustrated. Special arrangements have 



thT will Ve° KnrivaUed interest?' 6 We shalTal 

 opportunites offer, describe and illustrate single 

 gardens as during the past year, but we shall make 

 a special feature of illustrated descriptions of the great 

 gardening districts in the United Kingdom. These 

 will appear at regular intervals throughout the year, 

 and the arrangements that we have made will enable 

 us to make our readers familiar with the characteristic 

 features of the gardens in each of the districts. We 

 commence the series in this issue with an account of 

 the horticultural features of the Isles of Scilly, and 

 this will be followed by descriptions, even more freely 

 illustrated, of the great gardening centres in South, 

 West, East and North of England, and of the more 

 important centres in Scotland and Ireland. 



Garden Architecture cannot be omitted from any well 

 considered scheme of garden adornment : we shall, 

 therefore, present to our readers the best styles 

 of Pergolas, Tea and Summer Houses, Terraces, 

 Garden Vases, Garden Gates, Fountains, etc. ; and 

 these will be illustrated to show their suitability for the 

 positions they occupy.

 the many new friends we have made as the result, 

 have led us to make special preparations for illustrating 

 the finest examples, and giving the best cultural details.

 mensely popular subject, merits, and will continue to

 importance, and their selection and up-to-date 

 methods of cultivation will be fully dealt with. 



Hardy and Tender Fruit Culture is a branch of 

 garden activity that The Gardeners' <Magazine is 

 especially au fait with. It has instituted many 

 reforms, helped to build up a big industry, and will 

 continue to urge extended cultivation in orchard, 

 garden and glasshouse, on the most extended lines. 



Plants and Flowers from Seeds are m

 that arrangements have been made with the most 

 successful growers and exhibitors to contribute of their 

 experience in these pages. 



Novelties add zest to every branch of horticulture; in 1908 

 as in the past all the finest of them, whether tender or 

 hardy, flower or fruit, useful or ornamental, will be
