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 aim is, in these Hints, therefore, to furnish food for thought, at about such times or seasons that such thought would be timely for the usual seasons for special practices. 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.

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. There would be too much same ness. Would prefer a variety. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Gardener's Monthly, and Horticultural Advertiser, 1871, Vol. 13: Devoted to Horticulture, Arboriculture, Botany and Rural Affairs Use for tree Tammmes. - What to do with the clippings of trees need never be a ques tion. The rough twisted and gnarled pieces make excellent rustic work, which always gives a garden much interest. The worst of this kind of mechanism is, that if exposed to all weathers it soon rots, and it does not seem worth the la bor it takes to put it together. So only that should be made up with the bark on, which can be placed under cover in winter. Where rustic work is to be left out at all seasons, it should be built of pieces with the bark removed. This, to be sure, detracts from its interest. The bark. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Gardener's Monthly and Horticultural Advertiser, 1863, Vol. 5 Much is said in books about admitting fresh air to plants: but take care to do so only on warm days. Fresh air is good when warm, but cold air is worse than none - there are always some crevices through which 'fresh air enters unless the house is very tight indeed, enough in fact to keep vegetation healthy. In watering plants chose the morning. Watering almost always cools the soil, and it has the sun through the day to get up the temperature again. If cooled off at night, it remains so till morning, and the check is great. In summer we water in the evening for different results required. Insects of course will be looked after at their very first appearance. The thrip, a very small lively long black insect, - the red Spider, a minute red fellow that Spins a very delicate web, - the green or black fly or aphis well known to every one, the brown and white scale insect like miniature oysters, - and the mealy bug, are the most common, and most destructive. Where they are taken in time they may be kept down by any occasional crushing where only a few plants have them, and these badly, hot-water at 130 dipping the plants a few times for a few seconds, is the best; for thrip and aphis, to bacco smoke is effectual, but should be given in small doses, several nights in succession, instead of only one full dose, which is liable to injure the foliage of many plants.
