Excerpt from The Magazine of Horticulture, Botany, and All Useful Discoveries and Improvements in Rural Affairs, 1846, Vol. 11
The present Volume completes the Second of the New Series, and the Twelfth of the entire work.
In this volume, having brought to a close our series of articles upon European Gardens and Gardening, we have found more room to devote to our correspondents, and also to our pomological articles. Some excellent papers have been contributed, on Pomology, by our correspondent, Mr. Humrickhouse, particularly in relation to an uniform nomenclature for fruits, (p. 47.) We have brought up our Notices of New Fruits, and have also given the descriptions and drawings of eighteen varieties of peal's, embracing some new, very little known, and choice kinds. Our Flori-cultural articles have not been quite so numerous and varied as in some of the preceding volumes, but we shall devote more attention to this department in the next volume. The cultivation of fruit seems to be the absorbing interest, and we have endeavored to offer as much information upon the subject as possible.
Our first article on Ornamental Trees will be found in the present volume, (p. 58,) and it may he taken as an example of what we intend to accomplish hereafter. One of the most valuable papers is that upon the Cultivation of the Grape in what arc termed Cold-houses, by Mr. Russell; in connection with the descriptions and engravings of Mr. Gray's Graperies, we may view it as one of the most important we have ever published. The curvilinear plan of building is admirably adapted to graperies, and we are gratified to find so many gentlemen have already adopted it. If to this plan, the Polmaise mode of heating can be applied successfully in our climate, grapes may be produced from June to December, in the greatest perfection.
The Reviews, and the Miscellaneous Intelligence, aflord a variety of useful information. A new feature has been introduced, by which questions upon every department of Horticulture will be fully answered; and this we hope to make highly instructive to every reader.
And now, again, we appeal to all lovers of the science, especially in New England, to give us their aid.
