PUBLISHERS’ NOTICE. 
The English work from which this has been 
compiled, was placed in the hands of one of 
our most experienced gardeners for revision and 
alteration, to suit the climate of the United 
States. It has, however, come out of his able 
hands almost a new work ; and will, it is pre- 
sumed, from its value and very low price, 
increase the growing taste for the culture and 
management of ornamental flowers and shrubs. 
This volume will be followed by a work on 
the same plan, and by the same competent 
hand, adapted to Fruit and Kitchen Gar- 
dening. 
Philadelphia, March, 1844.
