From THE GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE, September 6th. 
“ ‘ 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 oiler 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 13th. 
“ 1 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 GARDEN, September 20th. 
“ Still they come.—Another gardening paper has just been issued. The appear¬ 
ance of three new journals on one theme within a few months is quite without 
precedent in the history of class journalism. There can be no doubt that the 
multiplication of journals in gardening is beneficial, and we may without affecta¬ 
tion wish well to the best of the new comers.” 
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 HUDDERSFIELD EXAMINER, October Atli. 
“ In view of the fact that within the last few months two horticultural journals 
have been started, it will be matter for surprise that another venture should have 
been made in the same direction. Such, however, is the case, and we believe that 
it will meet with the success it merits. ‘ The Gardening World ’ is a penny 
weekly paper of sixteen large pages. The journal is altogether very nicely got up, 
the paper is good, the printing is good, the front page is very neat, the illustrations, 
of which there are two and three to each number, very well executed. It is 
published every Friday, and the first four numbers augur well for its success." 
From THE FLORIST AND POMOLOGIST, October. 
“ 1 The Gardening World.’ —Under the title of ‘ The Gardening World,’ Mr. 
Wynne, who was for many years associated with The Gardeners' Chronicle, has 
commenced a weekly penny horticultural newspaper. It is well done so far, and 
we wish it the success which it deserves, and which the well-known energy of the 
editor will go far to secure for it. This makes the fourth penny gardening weekly, 
and truly the constituency is large enough to support them all, if they can but 
make themselves sufficiently widely known.” 
From THE EUROPEAN MAIL, September 2 6th. 
“ 1 The Gardening World’ is the title of a new caterer for public favour. It is 
well printed, freely illustrated, and contains a large amount of varied information, 
suitable alike to amateur and professional gardeners. The price is only Id.” 
From THE CROYDON REVIEW, October. 
“ ‘ The Gardening World.’ —This is a new journal published weekly, at one 
penny, under the very able management of Mr. B. Wynne, who for fifteen years 
was connected with The Gardeners' Chronicle. From a brief perusal of the pages 
of the numbers before us we have no hesitation in saying that the information 
seems of that class which is not only easy to read but also reliable, and should 
further increase interest and pleasure in what is becoming so fashionable—‘ My 
garden.’ It is by reading and studying such books as ‘ The Gardening World,’ 
that enables the amateur to become well acquainted with the treatment of the 
flowers and vegetables which he is cultivating. We think we can safely say Mr. 
Wynne’s new enterprise is a very meritorious one, and that it will find an apprecia¬ 
tive public in that wide area for which it professes to deal.” 
From THE BISHOP AUCKLAND (DURHAM) 
CHRONICLE, October 3rd. 
“ 1 The Gardening World.’ —This is a new illustrated publication on gardening, 
and from the opening weekly numbers which have been supplied us, it should have 
a place in the affections of the increasing class who cultivate the soil, whether in an 
obscure attic flower-pot or in a garden of the greatest size. ” 
From THE PADDINGTON MERCURY, October Atli. 
“ ‘ The Gardening World ’ is the latest tree that has shown itself in the forest 
of literature devoted to horticulture, and if the forthcoming numbers will be as 
laden with good things as the first four issues now before us, there will be many 
anxious to enjoy its weekly store of fruit. The literary style is superior, and the 
variety of the subjects cleverly dealt with are such that no gardener, whether in 
cottage or mansion, can take up a number and fail to find some article that will 
prove both interesting and instructive. The illustrations are excellent, and the 
printer deserves the congratulations of the editor and his subscribers for hairing 
brought out the floral and other engravings with such success. Mr. B. Wynne, who 
has been sub-editor of The Gardeners' Chronicle for fifteen years, is at the head of 
the editorial department. The publishing offices are 17, Catherine Street, Covent 
Garden, and copies can be obtained through any newsagent.”
