32 PICTORIAL CULTIVATOR. 
Edited by A. J. Downing, 
AUTHOR OF “LANDSCAPE GARDENING,” “DESIGNS FOR COTTAGE RESIDENCES,” FRUITS AND “FRUIT TREES 
OF AMERICA,” ETC., ETC. 
The publisher desires to return his thanks for the liberal patronage bestowed on this 
work, which has established it in its present substantial and permanent form. Its influ¬ 
ence on the progress of Gardening and Rural Taste, is now too strikingly apparent to 
need a word of comment. Its extended and valuable correspondence presents the expe* 
rience of the most intelligent cultivators in America; and the instructive and agreeable 
articles from the pen of the Editor, make it equally sought after by even the general 
reader, interested in country life. 
To all persons alive to the improvement of their gardens, orchards, or country seats,— 
to scientific and practical cultivators of the soil,—to nurserymen and commercial gar¬ 
deners, this Journal, giving the latest discoveries and improvements, experiments and 
acquisitions in Horticulture, and those branches of knowledge connected with it, will be 
found invaluable. The publisher, therefore, takes this method of presenting it in various 
parts of the United States where it is not already known, and where, he is confident, it 
only needs to be examined, or even announced, (such is the popularity of Mr. Downing’s 
works,) to be at once ordered. 
The work is published monthly, in 8vo. form, of 48 pages—each number accompanied 
by a frontispiece and several other engravings. The list of constant contributors em¬ 
braces our first horticulturists and practical cultivators. The “Foreign Notices ” pre¬ 
sent a summary from all the leading Horticultural Journals of Europe; the “ Domestic 
Notices,” and Answers to Correspondents, furnish copious hints to the novice in prac¬ 
tical culture; arid the numerous and beautiful illustrations,—-Plans for Cottages, Green- 
Houses, the Figures of New Fruits, Shrubs and Plants, combine to render this one of 
the cheapest and most valuable works on either side of the Atlantic*
