Excerpt from The Magazine of Horticulture, Botany, and All Useful Discoveries and Improvements in Rural Affairs, 1844, Vol. 10
The Tenth Volume of the Magazine, will be found equal in interest, to any which have preceded it. Notwithstanding the great amount of information which has been written upon almost every branch of gardening, there are yet numerous subjects which have scarcely been noticed, hut which will continue to receive attention in future volumes.
The Tenth Volume will close what may be called the First Series of the Magazine. For the greater facility of commencing subscriptions, the next volume will begin a New Series, or the Eleventh Volume of the entire work. Two title pages will he given, in order that the enumeration of the volumes may be continued.
In the present volume, we have commenced the publication of a series of articles on the Insects which infest trees and plants, by that excellent entomologist, Dr. Harris. Two have already appeared, on insects which have but recently made their appearance, but which, should they be allowed to increase, will be highly injurious. These papers will be continued in our next, and future volumes, and will, we hope, he the means of aiding, by a knowledge of their habits, in the discovery of more effectual means for their destruction'. An article on the ripening of the Pear, (p. 22,) by Mr. Walker, is deserving of attention: since the introduction of the numerous varieties of this fruit, which ripen from November to May, it is quite important that the best mode of preserving them should he known. Mr. Teschemacher's articles on the growth of plants in charcoal and guano, arc subjects which will interest every cultivator. Mr. Carmichael's papers on pruning, and a continuation of our descriptions and engravings of pears, will he found valuable to the pomologist. The Reviews and Miscellaneous Intelligence in this volume, arc unusually interesting.
