Monthly Bulletin of the United States Agricultural Society, Washington. A valuable publication.
Landreth's Rural Register and Almanac for 1858. This Register takes precedence in one important respect; it is to be had for nothing - or at all events a thankee. But it has other and great merits, being compiled by one of the best cultivators, and the largest seed-grower in the world. Address, with a stamp, D. Landreth, Philadelphia. The information it contains is reliable, and there is no more correct almanac.
James M. Thorburn's Annual Descriptive Catalogue of Flower Seeds, with practical directions for their culture and treatment. There is no better, and as their seeds are punctually sent by mail, or as directed, they deserve and will, we hope, receive extensive patronage.
The Sweet Potato; its Northern Culture. Directions in a printed sheet, from O. S. Murray & Son, Twenty Miles Stand, Warren County, Ohio. Excellent instruction, which we may take occasion to print.
Catalogue of Select Annual, Biennial and Perennial Flower Seeds, cultivated and sold by David Landreth & Son, 21 South Sixth Street, Philadelphia.

R. Buist's Select Catalogue of Greenhouse, Hothouse, and Hardy Plants, 322 Market Street, and Darby Road, Philadelphia.
R. Buist's Catalogue of Select Roses, Rosedale Nurseries, Darby Road, Philadelphia. These two Catalogues are well worthy of attention. We are free to say that few if any establishments in this country contain the variety of desirable plants that Mr. Buist cultivates. His preface on the Rose is very satisfactory. Mr. B. spells the rose we noticed favorably last month Vicompte des Cazes, and not Vioomptesse.
Barnes & Washburn's Descriptive Catalogue of Choice Flower Seeds, Dorchester, Mass. Another of Dahlias, Verbenas, Petunias, etc. etc. These gentlemen are carrying on a flourishing business, and deserve credit for enterprise and careful regard to the interests of their customers.
