Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Magazine of Horticulture, Botany, Vol. 8: And All Useful Discoveries and Improvements in Rural Affairs, 1842 The taste for horticulture continues to increase throughout the country with much rapidity, and new gardens, villa residences, and commercial establishments for the sale of nursery productions, are every where increasing. From the great extent of territory over which the gardening operations of this country are spread, the rapidity with which improvement has taken place cannot be so easily perceived: if they were all reduced to an extent of surface within the compass of that of England, what is accomplished every year would astonish the most accurate observer. But scattered over twenty-six States, and comprising an area of two millions of square miles, it is scarcely possible to form an accurate opinion of the advancement of horticulture in this country. After the detailed notices which have appeared in our last volume, upon the gardens and state of gardening in New York and Philadelphia, and with the continuation of the same article, which will appear in the succeeding numbers of the Magazine, giving the results of our tour in Baltimore and Washington, there will be less for us to say at this time, without in some degree repeating what we have already advanced. We shall therefore, as briefly as possible, note down the more important improvements which have marked the progress of horticulture for 1841, referring, as occasion may require, to the various articles and papers which have appeared in the past volume.

Book excerpt: 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.

Such, to a certain extent, has been the case the past year; but few beautiful suburban dwellings have been erected, few fine gardens laid out, few greenhouses and graperies constructed, and few grounds richly ornamented and planted, compared with preceding years; and though the year closed with more interest in horticulture than it opened, there has not been that zeal and real interest prevalent which the ardent lover of rural improvement could wish to record. All this, however, we trust is but transient, to be followed with a revival of business everywhere, with a deeper interest in horticultural advancement than our country has yet witnessed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Magazine of Horticulture, Botany, and All Useful Discoveries and Improvements in Rural Affairs, 1851, Vol. 30 A Mild and variable winter, a cool and wet summer, and a warm and pleasant autumn, have been the prevailing characteristics of the weather for the year. After the mild December of 1849, (excepting the last week,) January commenced with the temperature at zero. Mild weather, however, soon followed, and on the 8th and 9th, snow fell to the depth of seven inches: this was succeeded by a cold easterly rain on the 11th, with fine weather up to 18th, when more rain fell, succeeded with the light snow: the 22d and 25th were also rainy. They were followed with fine, mild weather until the 31st, when the thermometer again sunk to zero. February was much more variable, as well as colder. Rain fell on the 2d, carrying off nearly all the snow. The 4th and 5th were cold, and on the 6th the mercury reached 8° below zero, the lowest point during the winter. The 7th was squally, with snow. Very mild weather followed, with the thermometer 56° at noon on the 11th, - every vestige of snow gone. A heavy easterly rain set in on the 14th, and the 16th was again cool. Mild and mostly pleasant weather ended the month. More snow fell in March in either of the previous months.

Book excerpt: 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.
