The Magazine Of Horticulture Botany And All Useful Discoveries And Improvements In Rural Affairs 1856 Vol 22 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Magazine of Horticulture, Botany, and All Useful Discoveries and Improvements in Rural Affairs, 1856, Vol. 22 In a recent volume we copied a very instructive article on the culture of the Hollyhock, and hoped it might have a tendency to draw attention to this very showy hardy border flower, not surpassed in its 'present improved state by scarcely any other plant. But, so long has it been neglected as a coarse flower, and so little known are the new varieties, that cultivators are slow to introduce what was at one time almost banished from our gardens. The importation of some of the choice foreign kinds has, however, created a new interest in the plant, and we confidently h0pe that it will here become, as it has in Great Britain, with the dahlia, a universal favorite.

Excerpt from The Magazine of Horticulture, Botany, and All Useful Discoveries and Improvements in Rural Affairs, 1859, Vol. 25 The year just passed has not been signalized by that gen eral enthusiasm in regard to horticultural progress which had marked those which preceded it. The depression of trade and manufactures throughout the country has had a sensible effect upon the cultivation of the arts and sciences, and more especially upon that science which contributes in so great a degree to the luxuries, rather than the necessities, of life. Not only do such derangements in the commercial world affect the pecuniary means of the people, and compel them to cut off the expenditure of their resources in the completion of beautiful gardens and grounds, but they absorb so much of their' attention that, for a time, all the pleasures arising from their possession are neglected or forgotten, and the latent taste, just being developed, is lost, perhaps, not again to be renewed.

Excerpt from The Magazine of Horticulture, Botany, and All Useful Discoveries and Improvements in Rural Affairs, 1857, Vol. 23 The horticultural progress of the year, though not pre senting any prominent or marked improvements, has, not withstanding, been such as to gratify all who are the least interested in a science so eminently conducive to the luxu ries, the enjoyment, and even the comfort of so large a class of the community. Our pages have chronicled everything worthy of especial note, and to them we must refer our readers for a detail of what has been accomplished. Some general hints and incidental information, as well as random suggestions in regard to the future, we now embrace the opportunity to present in our brief summary of the year. First, in regard to the season, we give a condensed ao count, which, as compared with previous ones, may not be without its value.

Excerpt from The Magazine of Horticulture, Botany, and All Useful Discoveries and Improvements in Rural Affairs, 1838, Vol. 4 The Fourth Volume concludes another year in the progress of our Magazine. The alteration in the title, which was made at the commencement of the Third Volume, has been highly satisfactory, and we are induced to believe, from its more popular appellation, that it has been the means of extending its circulation.

Excerpt from The Magazine of Horticulture, Botany, and All Useful Discoveries and Improvements in Rural Affairs, 1868, Vol. 34 The record of the year is encouraging in all the departments of horticulture. While there has been no prominent subject of general discussion, there has still been a deep and encour aging interest manifested throughout the country, particularly in grape culture and fruit growing. These have been more especially discussed by the numerous publications upon the culture of the grape, and the manufacture of wine, and throughout the West, where the season has been highly favorable, grape growing is attracting universal attention. In fruit culture generally renewed interest has been awakened by the Eleventh Biennial Meeting of the American Pomologi cal Society at St. Louis, which was very fully attended by the prominent cultivators of the West, and the exhibition of grapes, as well as other fruits, was fully equal 1101 the expecta tions of the members. The meeting was a most favorable opportunity for the western cultivators to consult together, and make a record of horticultural progress in that fertile region of the country. A great deal has been done in the introduction of fruits, and. All the numerous varieties of grape are now in course of' culture. Large numbers of these were on exhibition, and an opportunity afforded eastern members to form some estimate of their value. The apple, it was thought, did not receive so much attention as it should have done, but a reference to previous meetings will show, we think, that it was not from any want of appreciation of its merits, but rather to the limited time allowed the meeting.
