Though our Magazine is conceded to cover a wider field than any similar publication in this country, we feel that much of our success is due to the excellent work done by other contemporaries, in special departments of that great occupation which we all love.

Among the particularly useful serials, we may name Vick's Monthly, the Floral Cabinet, and the American Garden, which in their special lines are doing good work - fully equal to our own. In a more limited field, perhaps, we may mention Park's Floral Gazette and Seed- Time and Harvest, as equally meriting patronage and support.

They all have our best wishes and congratulations, at the evidence they all exhibit of a healthy and prolonged existence.
