The Plates will, as far as possible, be allotted so as both to represent the finest Florists' Flowers as they come into bloom, and the most interesting and newest 'flowering Plants imported during the season, or ?owered for the first time in this country. In each case, when the subjects admit of it, two or more figures will be grouped together, so that three or four subjects may frequently be represented on the Two Plates. The Letter-press will consist of popular descriptions of the Coloured Illustrations, with their history and cultivation in plain and popular language, with due precision, but without any attempt at technical description Notices of New Flowering Plants from Public and Private Gardens and the Nurseries, accompanied by \vood Engravings of the most remarkable of those which the Plates will not suffice to illustrate; and a record of Botanical progress derived fiom personal observation, or gleaned from the foreign journals, and from the proceedings of the Societies. As it will be the object of the Conductors to place before their readers infor mation on all the best and newest Flowers and Plants, with Illustrations of them, it will be the interest of Cultivators residing at a distance from London to acquaint them, from time to time, with the existence of novelties worthy of being figured, described, and cultivated. All such communications will be treated with attention and impartiality.
