“ 1 The Gardening World.’-— The world is a very big place, or a very little place, 
according to the standpoint of the observer. It is, therefore, both big and little, 
The centre of the gardening world seems to be comprised within a mile of Covent 
Garden, indeed, 17, Catherine Street, whence the new World starts on its career 
through space, is within a stone’s throw of the market: but the circumference, who 
shall tell where this is ? It is just that uncertainty, we suspect, that has led Mr. 
Brian Wynne to cast his stone into the pool in the hope that in the ever-widening 
circle he, too, may cast his net, and secure his share of the haul. Why not ? Long 
practice in this office should render him an expert, and we have none but good 
wishes to offer him in his new career. He starts well, and doubtless in future 
numbers will break out into grooves not quite so much like the old ones. Matter, 
type, paper, are all excellent for the money.” 
From THE GARDENERS’ MAGAZINE, September Yd>tli. 
“ ‘ The Gardening World ’ is the title of a new weekly horticultural paper pub¬ 
lished by Mr. B. Wynne. It treats, in an agreeable way, of the whole round of 
horticultural practice within doors and without, and contains a great bulk of 
practical information. It makes number four of the series of penny gardening 
papers, and number eight of the entire happy family.” 
From THE AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE, September 15th. 
“ 1 The Gardening World.’— We are interested in seeing that Mr. B. Wynne, who 
has long been an efficient member of the staff engaged on The Gardeners’ Chronicle, 
has published (at 17, Catherine Street), No. 1 of a new gardening paper, price one 
penny, which well deserves the long and prosperous future, which we hope for it. 
There is such an immense constituency available for its success that it is hardly to 
be doubted.” 
From THE LITERARY WORLD, September 12th. 
“ Saturday last saw the birth of another popular horticultural journal, ‘ The 
Gardening World,’ illustrated. The editor anticipates the exclamation, ‘What! 
another gardening paper ! ’ and proceeds to show that, 1 in this newspaper reading 
nation, and amongst a rapidly increasing intelligent people,’ of whom he reckons 
there are fully a million adults imbued with a love for gardening, there is room for 
his new venture. By a happy inspiration, the writer of the editorial notice describes 
gardening as ‘ the gospel of recreation,’ and trusts that ‘ The Gardening World ’ 
will 1 rank amongst the most successful of its evangelists.’ The first number is a 
valuable pennyworth of horticultural lore.” 
From the KENTISH MERCURY, September 12th. 
“ 1 The Gardening World.’ —This is the first number of a neatly printed, carefully 
edifed, and profusely illustrated paper of 16 Quarto pages, devoted to the interests 
of horticulture, and sold for a penny. In a pleasantly written opening article the 
Editor calls to mind the immense increase of interest in gardening and in gardening 
questions that has taken place during the last twenty years, and declares his con¬ 
viction that there are fully a million of adults deeply imbued with the love of 
horticulture, while the subject appeals to many millions more whose interests are 
identified with it more or less directly, and the number of those who take pleasure 
in the pursuit is constantly and rapidly increasing. The object of this publication 
is therefore fittingly declared to be not only to satisfy the existing demand, but to 
create a new demand, and no better course could be adopted to secure this end than 
to supply such a serial as the one we notice, which for a penny furnishes a great 
variety of useful and interesting instruction and information on all questions con¬ 
nected with gardening in its various branches and departments. The subject is of 
course literally exhaustless, and it is gratifying to know that it is every year growing 
more and more interesting and attractive to English readers. There is no taste 
more purifying or ennobling than the love of flowers. We heartily welcome the 
new periodical, and wish that it may secure, as it undoubtedly deserves, success.”
