EDITORIAL. 
THE June issue of “The Australian Gardener’ 
completes the first year of its publication. 
This being so, we have again to acknowledge 
the splendid encouragement of numerous 
testimonials to the worth of. the publication. 
We entered upon the project with the con- 
viction that a gardener’s paper of practical 
service to the cottage, and to the gentleman’s 
estate gardener was much needed in Aus- ’ 
tralia. We have followed as nearly as prac- 
ticable the lines laid down by the best En- 
glish publications, and it is no vain boast to 
say that our readers have acknowledged that 
there is no other publication of its kind more 
useful in Australia, On its first issue a 
number of all wise folk lifted their eyebrows 
with the expression that the publication 
would not last three months. We were quite 
prepared for this reception, and to those who 
may still have misgivings upon the matter 
we may advise them that ‘The Australian 
Gardener” has come to stay, and continue to 
fill a place not previously occupied in ‘gar- 
dening interests and literature. 
To those who wish to advertise in 
gardening lines, we may say that no better 
medium exists in the States than the 
columns of “The Australian Gardener,” and 
the rates are exceedingly low for the returns 
to be derived. To nurserymen, florists, and 
warehousemen, we confidently offer the very 
‘best medium-of advertising their goods, and 
it is very certain that business men cannot 
expect to find an outlet for their trade if they 
do not let gardeners know of their business, 
This month’s issue deals largely with the 
ever popular queen of flowers, the Rose, 
-and also with Carnations, which ure rapidly 
coming into popular favour. The nursery- 
men advise us that the orders for Roses this 
year have exceeded anything that they 
have had for years, and a reference to our 
articles will supply all the latest information 
required upon the matter of the best 
selection of variéties. 
We again offer our best, thanks to con- 
tributors and readers for their splendid 
support to the publication. during the first 
year of our existence.. We consider the 
publication now well established,
