THE AMERICAN GARDENER'S MAGAZINE, AND REGISTER OF USEFUL DISCOVERIES AND IMPROVEMENTS IN HORTICULTURE AND RURAL AFFAIRS, IS PUBLISHED IN MONTHLY OCTAVO NUMBERS, AT THREE DOLLARS A YEAR. No. XII IS JUST PUBLISHED, COMPLETING VOL. I, AND No. XIII, COMMENCING VOL. II, WILL APPEAR JAN. 1, 1835. The first Volume may be had, bound in boards, at $3. THE AMERICAN GARDENER'S MAGAZINE has now been established nearly a year, and its success has fully realized the expectations of its conductors and friends. It is a gratifying fact to them, to know that it has already been the means of spreading a greater taste for the pursuits of Horticulture and Floriculture, and awakening a greater attention to their importance and utility. In one point of view it has been particularly useful; it has called out communications from various amateur and practical gardeners, containing valuable information, which would undoubtedly, had it not been established, long remained unknown. From the increasing interest which has been manifested within the few past years, it is apparent that the science of Horticulture, in this country, is destined to stand high in the estimation of the public. Men of wealth, taste, and refinement are engaging in it, and the establishment of new gardens, both public and private, is a convincing proof that it is a study which affords the highest gratification and enjoyment. To aid in the advancement of this, has been the endeavors of the conductors of this Magazine. They have collected together such information as they have thought most useful, and have spared no exertions to render it interesting to all classes of readers. The Second Volume commences January 1. The number of subscribers is sufficiently large to insure it a permanent standing; but in proportion as they increase, efforts will be made to enhance the value of the Magazine, by procuring the most scientific and practical contributors-by increasing the number of engravings-and by improving the appearance and typographical execution of the work; thus, with other additional expenditures, rendering it one of the most useful and important periodicals on the subject of Horticulture. To perfect our intentions, we have endeavored to secure more aid, and have already received such assurance from many eminent individuals, that the next volume may be considered as having a much greater claim upon the patronage of our friends. Shall we be thought presumptuous, if we follow the example set by a distinguished editor of one of the most scientific American journals, to increase the number of our readers ?-namely, to recommend to every sub scriber, to procure an additional one. This number will enable us to do justice to a work which we have had the pleasure to establish, and which it will be our greatest pride long to sustain. The conductors have the pleasure of naming the following gentlemen as contributors:-Elijah Vose, M. P. Wilder and S. Downer, Dorchester; Win. Kenrick and J. A. Kenrick, Newton; Professor John Lewis Russell, Salem; S. A. Shurtleff and B. V. French, Boston; S. E. Coues and R. Kittredge, Portsmouth, N. H.; A. J.

"Again we cordially recommend this Magazine to the public favor.

"The work is conducted with ability, and contains many very interesting communications and selections."-Maine Farmer.

"Evinces information and talents both in the correspondents and conductors."-Cultivator. "We have had the pleasure of perusing this valuable work, which is very ably conducted; it is very interesting and useful, and shows that the conductors and contributors are men of science and practical knowledge."-Yankee Farmer.

Messenger. * * "Filled, as usual, with new, interesting and instructive matter. The articles are written by those who well understand their subject. * We hope the Messrs.

"Some extracts from the number for March were inserted in our last. It is handsomely printed, and well filled with original and selected articles.-Vermont Chronicle. "We have received the April number, with which we are much pleased, and most heartily commend it to the attention of our friends.-Mechanic and Farmer, Bangor. The following resolution was passed at a late meeting of the New York Horticultural Society:"Resolved, That the New York Horticultural Society hail with pleasure the appearance of Hovey's American Gardener's Magazine as a work highly creditable to the horticultural talent of the country, and that the Societ; wul subscribe to the work."
