NOTICES OF THE PRESS. 
The Editor of this attractive journal has earned a wide renown 
by his elegant and most useful works on Landscape Gardening, 
Cottage Architecture, and Pomology. As an original and accom¬ 
plished author in these attractive and popular pursuits, he has no 
rival since the death of the indefatigable Loudon ; andOiis merits 
have been acknowledged by marks of high consideration‘from some 
of the crowned heads of the Old World.— SUUman's Journal. 
This magazine is printed and illustrated in beautiful style, at 
Albany. As to its character in other respects, it is sufficient to say 
that it is conducted by A. J. Downing, the most distinguished wri¬ 
ter in the Union on all topics connected with horticulture.— Cincin- 
natti Gazette. 
We strongly recommend this excellent and useful work to all who 
are attached to rural pursuits, either for amusement or for profit.— 
Montreal Gazette. 
Every one at all ambitious of keeping up with the improvements 
of die day, in gardening, should subscribe for this Journal.— Neiv- 
Qrleans Com. Times. 
We nave found much pleasure in assuring ourselves of just what 
we anticipated of the work in such hands, a desideratum for 
the advancing taste of the country in horticulture and rural archi¬ 
tecture, to which the work is chiefly to be devoted. No person, 
perhaps, combines more harmoniously the scientific and the prac¬ 
tical than the originator of this work.— New- York Evangelist. 
The Publisher respectfully gives notice The Horticulturist, 
devoted to the cause of useful and elegant rural improvement, is 
now thoroughly established by a large circulation. The articles 
that have already appeared from the able pen of the Editor on fine 
new Fruits, Plants, and Horticulture generally, as well as on Cot¬ 
tage Architecture, Ornamental Gardening, etc., have given the 
work a very high character. The list, of contributors includes the 
first horticulturists and practical cultivators in the country. The 
l ' Foreign Notices” present a monthly summary from all the lead¬ 
ing gardening journals of Europe-; and the numerous beautiful il¬ 
lustrations—designs for cottages, green-houses, etc,, figures of new 
fruits, shrubs and plants, render this one of the cheapest and most 
invaluable works to country gentlemen, amateurs, or practical cul¬ 
tivators., published on either side of the Atlantic.
