Excerpt from The Gardener's Monthly and Horticultural Advertiser, 1864, Vol. 6 As the same laws of necessity must exist in small places as in large ones, the same rules of landscape gardening will apply, the only difference being to adapt smaller materials to the lessened size of the grounds. Mr. Walter Elder also presented an essay on the same subject. Mr. Meehan, in reply to a question, stated that he had never seen a place planted exclusively with one kind of tree.

Excerpt from The Gardener's Monthly, and Horticultural Advertiser, 1867, Vol. 9 We are now entering on our ninth annual vol ume; and as we shall most probably, in view of the increased attention given to horticulture with the return of peace, have a heavier list of new subscribers than we have had for many years, we may state here, that the object of these hints is not to teach the art of gardening. Experience has shown that calendars and monthly directions, given as absolute guides to practice, are worse than useless. As well may we think to make an artist by guiding the hand that holds the pencil or the brush. It is only by one's thinking for himself, and putting into effect the results of his own thought, that the operations of gardening can be successful.

Our circulation, we may say, is world-wide. Not only do we reach the chief cities of Europe on the East, but beyond the Pacific to the Sandwich Islands and Japan; and from the highest Northern lati tudes on this continent to the South American States. We wish to make our remarks interesting to every reader. Over so vast an extent of terri tory it is evident the most practical work will be that which, While giving the usual routine of prac tical operations, at the same time furnishes the rea sons ou which they are founded, so that all can apply them to the varying and continually changing circumstances.
