HENDERSON'S 
Of PLIITS. 
BY 
PETER HENDERSON. 
Thlsnewworkigdesignedtoflllawanttnatmany I 
j amateur and professional Horticulturists have I 
I often felt— the need of a concise yet comprehen -1 
jsive Dictionary of Plants. The work above named, I 
I written and compiled with great care, we th ink [ 
! will folly meet such a want. | 
I The scope of the work embraces the Botanical E 
1 Name, Derivation, Linmean, and Natural Orders I 
I of Botany of all the Leading Genera of Ornamental | 
land Useful Plants, up to the present time,withE 
J concise instructions for propagation and culture, g 
| A valuable feature of the book, particularly to I 
| amateurs, is the great care that has been given to I 
[obtaining all known local or common names; and| 
la comprehensive glossary of Botanical and Tech-I 
I meal Terms is also given, which will be found of I 
1 great value even to the experienced Horticulturist.f 
I As a book of reference, Henderson’s Hand-L 
Shook of Plants will take the place, forallprac-B 
j tical purposes, of the expensive and voluminous I 
1 European works of this kind, as it has been written | 
I with a view to meet the wants of those engaged in | 
S Horticulture in this country. Instructions for the g 
j culture of many important plants have been given I 
I at length. 
| Henderson’s Handbook of Plants is al 
I large octavo volume of four hundred pages, I 
I printed on fine paper, and handsomely bound in I 
I cloth. . [ 
I We will forward the book, post-paid by mail, on I 
I receipt of $3.00.

eontaining a great variety of Items , including many 
good Hints and, Suggestions which we throw into smaller 
type and condensed form, for want of space elsewhere. 
In justice to'the majority of onr sub* 
scrlfoers, who have been readers for many 
years, articles and illustrations are sel¬ 
dom repeated, as those who desire In¬ 
formation on a particular subject can 
cheaply obtain one or more of the bach 
numbers containing what is wanted. 
Back numbers of the “ American Agri¬ 
culturist,” containing articles referred to 
in the “Basket” or elsewhere, can al¬ 
ways be supplied and sent post-paid for 
15 cts. each, or $1.50 per volume. 
The German Edition.— All the principal arti¬ 
cles and engravings that appear in the American Agricul¬ 
turist are reproduced in the German Edition. Beside® 
these, there is a special department, edited by an eminent 
German cultivator. Our friends can do us a good service 
by calling the attention of their German neighbors and 
friends to the fact that they can have the paper in their 
own language, and those who employ Germans will 
find this Journal a most useful and acceptable present. 
Bound Copies of volume 39, and of every pre¬ 
vious volume hack to Vol. XVI. (1857), neatly bound, with 
gilt backs, Index, etc., are supplied at $2 each (or $2.3® 
if to be sent by mail). See Publishers’ Notes,2d cover page. 
Clubs can at any time be increased by remitting for 
each addition, the price paid by the original members; 
or a small club may be made a larger one at reduced rates, 
thns: One having sent 6 subscribers and $7, may after¬ 
wards send 4 names more and $3, making 10 subscribers 
for and so for the various other club rates. 
Terms to New Sovth Wales, New Zea¬ 
land, Australia, Africa, etc.— To several in¬ 
quirers. Under the latest revision of the Postal Union 
Regulations the price of the American Agriculturist 
(either English or German edition), including postage 
prepaid through, will be covered by 7 shillings sterling 
per annum. This applies to tlve above countries, and to 
all others embraced in the General Postal Union. The 
simplest mode of remittance is by Postal Money Orders, 
payable in London, to the order of Orange Judd Com¬ 
pany. These can be readily cashed in N. Y. City at a 
slight discount, which the publishers will cheerfully pay. 
For Club rates (postage included), see our second cover 
page, and reckon 22 cents to the shilling sterling. 
The Munroe and Jefferson Grapes, and. 
Mr. Reuben Acker.— Last month we published 
what we fully believed to be the facts in regard to the 
offering of the above two grapes in quantities of 20 , 000 . 
Our statements were based upon the representations of 
well known parties, that the varieties could not be gen¬ 
uine if offered by the thousand. Our only interest in 
this, and similar cases, is to guard the people against 
purchasing grapes under wrong names. Mr. Acker meets 
the case in a very fair and frank manner. He claims 
that the circular must have been sent “by some ma¬ 
licious person,” and that he, at least, is acting in good 
faith, and on the assurance of the raisers that the grapes 
are true to name. Mr. Acker's neighbors write us 
that he would not he willingly concerned in any mis¬ 
representation. There is evidently a mistake some¬ 
where, and until it can be shown where it lies, it is only 
just to Mr. Acker to say that he believes he has acted in 
good faith. It is therefore proper to assume that he has 
not knowingly sold a grape under a name that did not 
belong to it. 
The American Veterinary College.—The 
Sixth Annual Commencement of this Institution, which 
took placo in February last, was of a character to give 
great encouragement to its friends. Twenty graduates 
received their degrees of Doctor of Veterinary Surgery, 
and five of these received the different prizes offered by 
the Trustees and others. We know of no other profes¬ 
sion that offers a more attractive field to a young man of 
the right qualifications and tastes, than that of Veteri¬ 
nary Sargeon, and of no other place to whom we should 
sooner direct a young man to go for his education in 
this profession than the American Veterinary College. 
The circular of the College can be obtained from Dr. A» 
Liautard, Dean of the Faculty, 141 West 54th St.
