RECENT PUBLICATIONS. 
During the past three months, new hooks, magazines and weekly papers, especi- 
ally interesting to the Agriculturist, Horticulturist and Floriculturist, have been 
produced in increased abundance. 
Among the number, we are especially pleased to see the long looked for Part First 
of Ferns of North America , by Prof. Daniel Eaton, (published by S. C. Cassino, Salem, 
Mass. — parts, $1.00 each,) and find our expectations fully realized. The number 
before us contains three large colored plates of Ferns, true to nature and of exquisite 
workmanship. It is a work of which every American should he proud. 
With the new year our old friend, James Vick, commences his New Illustrated 
Monthly Magazine, (Rochester, N. Y., at $1.25 a year,) which will take the place of 
his old Quarterly Floral Guide. No. 1, vol. 1, which is now on our table, is full of 
interest to every one, as he deals so plain and sensible with all his subjects, which, 
by the way, are admirably chosen. 
The good old American Agriculturist, (monthly — Orange Judd Company, New York 
city — $1.50 per annum,) always comes to hand on time, filled with the choicest pro- 
ductions of the day, and with something good for all. 
No publication in America should receive a more hearty support than the Ameri- 
can Naturalist, as its articles are from the pens of some of the best writers on Natural 
History in the country; and although some of the numbers may have very little of 
interest to the botanist, each volume when complete is indispensable to him in his 
studies. And the same may be said of the Botanical Gazette, (M. S. & J. M. Coultier, 
monthly, Hanover and Logansport, Ind., $1.00 a year,) for it is the only strictly 
scientific botanical magazine in the country, and in its pages are found much valu- 
able matter nowhere else to be obtained. 
The Gardener's Monthly and Horticulturist, (Philadelphia, Pa. — $2.10 per year,) still 
holds its place pre-eminently as a popular horticultural and floricultural magazine, and 
no one, with only a window in which to grow a few plants, can well do without it. 
The Ladies' Floral Cabinet, (monthly — H. T. Williams, New York city, $1.50,) is, 
as its name indicates, a popular plant journal, especially adapted for the ladies. 
The American Garden, (quarterly — Beach, Son & Co., New York city, 10c. a year,) 
is probably the cheapest, as it is one of the best, garden papers issued. 
In the list of agricultural papers, we take pleasure in noticing — 
The Country Gentleman ; weekly, Albany, N. Y., $3.00 per year. 
Farm and Fireside ; semi-monthly, Springfield, Ohio, 50c. per year. 
Rural New Yorker ; weekly, New York city, $2.50 per year. 
Scientific Farmer ; monthly, Boston, Mass., $1.00 per year. 
The Indiana Farmer ; weekly, Indianapolis, Ind., $2.00 per year. 
Pacific Rural Press ; weekly, San Francisco, Cal., $4.00 per year. Par excellent.
