It is now seen and felt that profit, in a garden, is not incom- 
patible with pleasure — that Fruits are not incompatible with 
Flowers ; and these we combine for the benefit of our readers. 
Fruit trees, it has been shown by Mr. Errington,and those who 
have followed his practice, can be maintained in productiveness 
whilst their dimensions may be limited at the discretion of the 
cultivator, to render them subservient, whatever their situation, 
to the purposes of ornament. 
Again, cheap protective structures have hitherto been little 
considered, although capable, under proper management, of 
affording a vast amount of profitable enjoyment, especially to the 
amateur cultivator. Many flowers, fruits, and vegetables, may 
be brought beneficially within the influence of inexpensive pro 
tection, as it is intended hereafter to show. 
Other subjects of importance it is intended to bring under 
consideration ; especially the value of artificial manures, and 
their applicability to gardening purposes.
