The work wascommenced January Ist, 1835. The contents are 
of a varied character from correspondents of acknowledged reputa- 
tion, and useful to the Farmer, Gardener and Florist. 

The following notice of the work is copied from one of the most 


excélfent Agricultural and Horticultural periodicals, the New York 
Farmer: 


‘We cannot refrain from again calling attention to a periodical 
which we deem worthy ofa liberal support. It is very much on 
the plan of Loudon’s Magazine ; and the editers, like Mr. Loudon, 
appear to be much at home, in conducting their work.’ 


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 Maga- 
zine as a work highly creditable to the Horticultural talent of the 
country, and thus the Society will subscribe to the work.’
