PREFACE. 
The following pages contain a perfect record of all novelties and 
improvements that can interest the lovers of Horticultural pursuits, com- 
prising a fund of useful information appertaining to all branches of the 
science. 
Among other papers may be specially noticed those on the Flori- 
culture of the Months, by Mr. Glenny, in which are described all the 
principal Florists' Flowers that have been raised, or exhibited during the 
year, and which cannot be too strongly recommended to the perusal of 
Amateur Florists. . . 
To the Plant Collector, the papers on New Flowers and Plants will 
prove especially valuable, as describing every New Plant that has been 
introduced; and perhaps the best lessons that could be given upon the 
General Management of a Garden, may be found in the series of papers 
under the title of " A Stroll through the Garden, by a Tutor and his 
Pupil ;" while the more elaborate Treatises on the Culture of particular 
Plants establish the character of the work as an interesting and 
instructive volume to the lovers of a Garden.
