THE AMERICAN GARDENER'S MAGAZINE, AND REGISTER OF USEFUL DISCOVERIES AND IMPROVEMENTS IN HORTICULTURE AND RURAL AFFAIRS, IS PUBLISHED IN MONTHLY OCTAVO NUMBERS, Volume II. commenced on January 1st, 1836. THE FIRST VOLUME MAY BE HAD, BOUND IN BOARDs, at $3. THE AMERICAN GARDENER'S MAGAZINE has now been established above 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. No. XIX is this day published. 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 contributers; 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 present 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 sciectific American journals, to increase the number of our readers, namely, to recommend to every subscriber 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; Wm. Kenrick, and J. A.
