FLORICULTURAL NOTICES. 
Here, in one cheap, handsome octavo volume, are compressed all the Gardening 
works of Mr. Repton, and reprinted under the auspices of the indefatigable 
Mr. Loudon. It could not have fallen into better hands, when we consider that 
author's love for and practical knowledge of Landscape Gardening ; and this 
volume he has greatly enriched by his copious notes and judicious annotations. 
To make an extract from the work would not do justice to the subjects treated on, 
as they are all connected. It must be seen to be properly appreciated. In short, 
this work ought to be in the hands of every landed proprietor, as well as land- 
scape gardener and amateur. 
The Suburban Horticulturist ; or an Attempt to teach the Science and Practice of the Culture 
and Management of the Kitchen, Fruit, and Forcing Garden. Illustrated by several 
hundreds of Wood Engravings. By J. C. Loudon, Esq., F.L.S., &c. Smith. 
In a thick octavo volume, Mr. Loudon has made a most successful attempt to 
teach the science of Gardening to the uninitiated ; the instructions given respecting 
the various branches being so clear and intelligible, as to be readily understood 
even by those totally ignorant of the subjects of which they treat ; and in addition 
to this, everything is illustrated by wood-cuts admirably adapted to convey their 
exact meaning, particularly the operations of pruning, training, and propagation, 
which are exceedingly valuable parts of the work, and well worthy the attention 
of the most experienced. 
The volume before us will be found most invaluable to young gardeners, and 
those who know little of the science of Gardening, and are either desirous of 
cultivating their gardens personally for health and recreation, or of directing their 
management upon the most approved principles, with a labourer only. For 
accomplishing either of these ends, the practical directions are most ample and 
complete. Suburban Floriculture is to occupy the next volume, to the completion 
of which we look forward with much interest, being assured, if Mr. Loudon 
bestows equal pains and care upon that branch as this volume evinces, a vacancy 
in gardening literature which has been long felt will be supplied.

NEW OR BEAUTIFUL PLANTS FIGURED IN THE LEADING BOTANICAL PERIODICALS 
FOR FEBRUARY. 
Acrony'chia Cunningha'mi. ** A tall, handsome, evergreen shrub, a native of Moreton Bay, 
New Holland, where it was detected by Mr. Allan Cunningham, and by him introduced to the 
Royal Gardens at Kew, where it receives the ordinary treatment of greenhouse plants, and 
blossoms in the months of May and June. The flowers, at first sight, have a good deal the 
appearance of those of the orange, and the odour bears a still greater resemblance to those much- 
prized flowers ; but it is combined with the aromatic warmth of ginger. The foliage, when bruised, 
diffuses a very terebinthaceous smell, arising from the numerous pellucid glands with which it
