The increasing interest exhibited during the past year, in 
the introduction and culture of Flowering Plants, may in a great 
measure account for the very extensive sale of the Magazine of 
Botany, which, without doubt, now surpasses that of any other 
work of the kind in this country. From this unexpected success, 
the Author is led to hope that his endeavours, however humble, 
have in some degree met the wants and wishes of his countrymen. 
The present volume, besides the culture of Plants, written after 
the manner of those in the first volume, contains many select lists of 
the most beautiful Plants for different situations and purposes ; as 
CUmhers for the open Air, Greenhouse, and Stove ; 0?xhidece, 
both Epiphytal and Terrestrial ; and Shrubs. Also, attached to 
these lists, are small paragraphs, pointing out the respective pecu- 
liarities, propagation, culture, &c. &c. of each species, which, 
although they may be found defective by experienced Gardeners 
and critical Readers, yet will certainly not be vvithout use, even 
to the experienced.
