_Vick's Illustrated Magazine_ is the best Floricultural Monthly we know
of for amateurs. We are indebted to it for much of the information we
have obtained respecting the culture of flowers, and have drawn largely
from its pages in this work. There is a finely colored frontispiece in
each number, and it is otherwise fully illustrated. Its entire
arrangement evidences the fine æsthetic taste of its editor and
publisher. It is very low at $1.25 per year. Beautifully bound vols.,
$1.75. Mr. James Vick, Rochester, N. Y.
_The Gardener's Monthly and Horticulturist_ takes a wider range,
treating not only of Flowers, but also of Fruit and Vegetable Gardening,
Natural History and Science, Forestry, etc. The ample Notes pertaining
to the several departments, by its editor, Mr. Thomas Meehan, are of
special value. Published by Chas. H. Marot, Philadelphia, Pa., at $2.10
per annum.
