The Magazine Of Horticulture Botany And All Useful Discoveries And Improvements In Rural Affairs 1837 Vol 3 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Magazine of Horticulture, Botany, and All Useful Discoveries and Improvements in Rural Affairs, 1837, Vol. 3 With the Third Volume we have been induced to change the title of the Magazine: this has been done for several reasons; but principally on account of the various agricultural and horticultural periodicals in the country which have, either for their titles or sub titles, that which we had adopted, - the consequence of which was a tendency to mislead the public in regard to its character, and the true object for which it was established. The alteration, we are highly pleased to learn, has given very general satisfaction to our correspondents and readers. In this Third Volume the principal improvements are the intro duction of the papers upon the new varieties of fruits and vegeta bles, under the heads of Pomological Notices, and Notices of new Culinary Vegetables. In the preparation of the former we have had the valuable assistance of Mr. Manning, of Salem, the well known pomologist, who will continue to give us information re specting all the new kinds of fruits which come under his observa tion; we have had, also, the assistance of other gentlemen and amateurs. For the latter we have relied mainly upon our own re sources, h0ping, however, in future, to have the aid of those of our friends who feel interested in this important branch of garden ing. Our Floricultural Notices in this volume have been given with considerable care, and they will be found to embrace many new and pleasing subjects.
