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.

Excerpt from The Magazine of Horticulture, Botany, and All Useful Discoveries and Improvements in Rural Affairs, 1859, Vol. 25 The year just passed has not been signalized by that gen eral enthusiasm in regard to horticultural progress which had marked those which preceded it. The depression of trade and manufactures throughout the country has had a sensible effect upon the cultivation of the arts and sciences, and more especially upon that science which contributes in so great a degree to the luxuries, rather than the necessities, of life. Not only do such derangements in the commercial world affect the pecuniary means of the people, and compel them to cut off the expenditure of their resources in the completion of beautiful gardens and grounds, but they absorb so much of their' attention that, for a time, all the pleasures arising from their possession are neglected or forgotten, and the latent taste, just being developed, is lost, perhaps, not again to be renewed.

Excerpt from The Magazine of Horticulture, Botany and All Useful Discoveries and Improvements in Rural Affairs, 1850, Vol. 16: Vol. Vi, New Series It is somewhat remarkable that the failure of the fruit crop, the last year, should have been so general. We con versed with gentlemen from almost every State in the Union, at the Pomological Conventions, last autumn, and they all complained of the scarcity of fruit, - particularly of apples and pears. It is the more remarkable, from the fact that the failure was not produced by the same causes. In the south and west, late spring frosts destroyed the blossoms. The principal supply of apples has been obtained from northern New York, and Maine, where the crop was nearly an average one. Peaches were abundant in high and ex posed localities, throughout the State. The crop of grapes was large and excellent.

Excerpt from The Magazine of Horticulture, Botany, and All Useful Discoveries and Improvements in Rural Affairs, 1857, Vol. 23 The horticultural progress of the year, though not pre senting any prominent or marked improvements, has, not withstanding, been such as to gratify all who are the least interested in a science so eminently conducive to the luxu ries, the enjoyment, and even the comfort of so large a class of the community. Our pages have chronicled everything worthy of especial note, and to them we must refer our readers for a detail of what has been accomplished. Some general hints and incidental information, as well as random suggestions in regard to the future, we now embrace the opportunity to present in our brief summary of the year. First, in regard to the season, we give a condensed ao count, which, as compared with previous ones, may not be without its value.

Such, to a certain extent, has been the case the past year; but few beautiful suburban dwellings have been erected, few fine gardens laid out, few greenhouses and graperies constructed, and few grounds richly ornamented and planted, compared with preceding years; and though the year closed with more interest in horticulture than it opened, there has not been that zeal and real interest prevalent which the ardent lover of rural improvement could wish to record. All this, however, we trust is but transient, to be followed with a revival of business everywhere, with a deeper interest in horticultural advancement than our country has yet witnessed.
