TO OUR HEADERS. 
We do not know that it is necessary to say much more on the completion of another volume than 
to assure all who have shared in its production that their co-operation is warmly appreciated. 
It is by the ablest and best of gardeners and the most accomplished amateurs imparting the 
experience that has made them successful that the “ Journal of Horticulture ” is what it is to-day, and 
it is by a continuance of their support that its interest and usefulness will be maintained. 
We rejoice to know that the ripe experience of a host of cultivators is at our disposal, and we 
are encouraged to observe that as the old retire from time to time to enjoy well-earned repose, others 
are qualifying themselves to continue the work. 
Thus it is that while the past has been satisfactory, the future will not be less so ; but, on the 
contrary, the progress that is made in horticulture in the introduction of new products and improved 
methods of culture will be faithfully reflected in our pages. 
As heretofore, advice that may be sought for in cases of difficulty will be given freely, for we 
conceive nothing can be more pleasurable than to help where help is needed in the accomplishment of 
objects so worthy as perfecting the culture of the flowers and fruits of the earth. 
We repeat, then, our obligations to all writers and readers for their continued support in this 
important work, and in completing a volume that both in variety, interest, and usefulness will, we think, 
compare not unfavourably with its long line of predecessors.
