Editorial. 
OME Proprietary of ‘The Australian 
Gardener” wish to acknowledge their 
indebtedness to the Literary, Commercial, 
and Mechanical Staffs for the excellent 
character of their work in the first publi- 
cation of this paper. Also their gratifica- 
tion at the number of letters and compli- 
mentary communications that have come 
to hand from every State in Australia, 
from gentlemen gardeners, professional, 
and also practical men, florists, seedsmen, 
and those generally in the trade, who 
unanimously agree that the publication 
will supply a long-felt want. We have 
also to thank contributors, and those who 
have sent in suggestions for the practical 
carrying on of the publication. Some of 
t he suggestions are of a vigorous character, 
and many of them will probably be 
adopted by the Editorial and Commercia, 
Staffs, but we must remind our friends 
that we are dealing only with those sub- 
jects of universal interest to the gardener 
that come within the scope of the publi- 
cation. We shall be very pleased to 
specialise more extensively as time, space, 
and opportunity permit. 
We have also to express our thanks to 
the officials of all the States who haye 
courteously assisted our enquiries upon 
niatters of public interest. 
The August issue is full of special in- 
terest to gardeners in public and private 
grounds, and also in the less pretentious 
surroundings of the villa and cottage. 
We wish to direct the attention of sub- 
scribers and purchasers of “The Aus- 
tralian Gardener” to the prizes offered. 
for photographs of landscape gardens and 
of cut flowers. The photographs will be 
used for illustrations, and must be accom- 
“panied by a description of the picture 
_ with the plants specified and correctly 
named.
