The many friends of the magazine will, we are sure, be pleased to know how their favorite is viewed in the old world. The following from the Gardeners' Magazine, of London, will, we are sure, interest them.

While appreciating the compliments paid to him personally, the Editor feels that he owes much of the success of the magazine to the generous support the publisher has received by friends inducing neighbors to subscribe to it, and by the unpaid contributions of so many friends from all parts of the world, who have continually kept the Editor posted on everything new that has arisen.

" The Gardeners' Monthly, edited by Thomas Meehan, is published by Chas. H. Marot, 814 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. It is a good paper of what may be called the old fashioned type, of which the Florist and Floral World are examples, both superseded by weekly papers in this country. To praise it would be a mild imitation of "gilding refined gold," and we forbear, for it is enough to say that it caters for many tastes, takes large views of things, and brings to all questions sound knowledge and good judgment, for the editor is a master of the business who has seen much of the world".
