Dr. LINDLEY'S BOTANICAL REGISTER; or, ORNAMENTAL FLOWER GARDEN AND SHRUBBERY. Publishing the first of every month, price 4s.

Each Number contains eight finely-coloured Portraits, from life, of the handsomest Flowering Plants and Shrubs grown in this country, accompanied by their History, Treatment in Cultivation, Propagation, &c.

No. V. of Vol. X., New Series, was published May 1, 1837.

The previous Volumes may be had separately, £.2 9s. each.

⁂ All the Numbers which were out of print are now re-printed.

"This Series, placed under the superintendence of Professor Lindley, comes forth with increased splendour of illustration, and increased accuracy of description. The present number contains many plants and shrubs, of extreme beauty, delineated and coloured, so as almost to rival the tints of nature, and bestow perpetuity on her loveliest, yet most transitory, productions. The letter-press, in addition to the ordinary information, as to the habits, mode of culture, and organization of the plant, occasionally introduces points of vegetable physiology, or observations respecting its economical uses, which possess much interest."—Athenæum.

"The Botanical Register, from containing most or all of the new plants introduced by the Horticultural Society, from the great care with which its plates are executed, and the judicious remarks on culture and general habit, by Dr. Lindley, is, in consequence, the superior publication."—Loudon's Magazine of Botany, &c.

"Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon this work."—Horticultural Cabinet.

LADIES BOTANY. In Two Volumes. By Dr. Lindley, Editor of the Botanical Register, Fossil Flora of Great Britain, &c. &c. Third Edition. 8vo. Vol. I, with numerous illustrative plates, 16s., and finely coloured, 25s.

"We consider it quite needless to recommend this work: it must find its way into the library of every lady, and it ought to be in the coat pocket of every young gardener."—Gardener's Magazine.

"Let it be known—let it be introduced into every library, reading-room, and seminary throughout Britain; let it become the class-book of botanical study."—Horticultural Register.

The Second Volume, which will complete the work, will be published in May.

Second Edition. One Volume, royal 8vo. with Eighteen coloured Plates. 21s. cloth boards.

ROSARUM MONOGRAPHIA; or, a BOTANICAL HISTORY of ROSES. To which is added, an Appendix for the Use of Cultivators, in which the most remarkable Garden Varieties are systematically arranged; with Nineteen Plates, Eighteen beautifully coloured. By John Lindley, Ph.D. F.L.S. R.S. &c. &c.

Dedicated to the Patrons and Patronesses of Village Schools.

A CATECHISM of GARDENING, intended for the use of Village Schools and Cottagers, containing plain and brief Directions for cultivating every kind of Vegetable in common use. By an old Practitioner. Second Edition, enlarged, 1s. 6d.

"This is a cheap little work, and far better adapted for its avowed purpose than any of the tracts which have preceded it. The small type and closely-printed page of the Catechism show that the author is perfectly serious in his wish to extend a knowledge of Horticulture to the humblest classes of society."—Loudon's Gardener's Magazine.

"This is not only a useful, but a cheap publication, and excellently adapted for its purpose."—Analyst.

GARDENS and GROUNDS of WOBURN ABBEY. Illustrated by numerous Views, Plans, &c. One Vol. Medium 8vo. 21s.

HORTUS WOBURNENSIS; a Descriptive Catalogue, comprising Generic and Specific Character, Colour of the Flower, Native Country, Year of Introduction, Soil, and Mode of Propagation, of upwards of SIX THOUSAND of the finest Ornamental PLANTS and SHRUBS, both Exotic and Indigenous, for the Decoration of the British Flower Garden, Greenhouse, Plant Stove, &c.; with an Account of the Routine of Culture pursued in the Forcing Department throughout the Year, a List of the Fruits cultivated; including short Treatises on the Management of the superior Fruits, Vegetables, &c. together with Designs for the Erection of Forcing Houses, Melon, and Culinary Pits, and a mode of heating by Hot Water Pipes, by which a genial steady Heat is produced, with a great Saving of Fuel, and the Houses left with perfect safety, for full fifteen hours, at even 28 degrees of Frost, Fahrenheit. By James Forbes, A.L.S. C.M. H.S. &c., Principal Gardener at Woburn Abbey.

A few Copies are printed on Royal Paper, for such of the Nobility as may desire them. Proofs, 2l. 2s. Ditto, coloured, 2l. 12s. 6d.

"The plan of this Work is good. The objects of cultivation, the routine of cropping, the periods of forcing fruits and flowers, and the hothouses employed for such purposes, are nearly the same in all large gardens; and a well-digested and accurate account of what is found most useful or beautiful in one, will serve as a rule of practice in nearly all the others. The Duke of Bedford's Garden is one of the best in England, and Mr. Forbes is one of the most experienced Gardeners; so that a better model, or a better man, could hardly be found, to illustrate the most efficient plans which are followed in the management of horticultural affairs in England * * * We can recommend Mr. Forbes's Work to our gardening Friends."—Athenæum.

FRUIT AND FRUIT TREES.

Second Edition, in One Volume, price 6s.

THE FRUIT CULTIVATOR. By John Rogers, Nurseryman, formerly of the Royal Gardens.

"Directions are given for planting, pruning, training, the formation of Fruit-Tree Borders, and Orchards, the gathering and storing of Fruit; in a word, every thing which can be desired is handled in a plain instructive manner, in such a way as a practical man alone is capable of doing it."—Irish Farmer's and Gardener's Magazine.

"It remains only to say, that we think Mr. Rogers has here produced a most valuable practical work, which deserves to be in universal use; and which adds to its other recommendation that of cheapness."—Gardener's Magazine.
