This Work is the result of several years' practical observation. Its obvio utility and general interest, will instantly occur to the reader; it being a curious fac that while an enlarged taste for Botany has been directed, both scientifically at popularly, to every branch of its extensive province, this particular department h been most neglected, the proper selection of Fruit Trees being generally very in perfectly understood; a deficiency which it is the object of the present work to suppl

Exotic, and Indigenous Plants, arranged according to their respective Months of Flowering; and more particularly adapted to the service of those who cultivate their own Gardens and Pleasure Grounds. By RICHARD MORRIS, Landscape Gardener and Planter. In 12mo. price 7s. 6d in boards.

This Work will be found to offer great facilities to those Ladies and Gentle men who attend personally to the Cultivation of their own Gardens and Pleasure Grounds; the names of the Plants being arranged alphabetically under their respective heads. Following the generic name are the class and orders; and after each specific name are enumerated the native country, the height of growth, and the colour of the flower. The want of such a compendium has been long experienced.

"Mr. Moubray's little Book on the Breeding, Rearing, and Fattening all Kinds of Domestic Poultry and Pigs, is unquestionably the most Practical Work on the subject in our language. The Author's aim seems to have been to avoid scientific detail, and to convey his information in plain and intelligible terms. The convenience of a small poultry yard,-two or three pigs, with a breeding sow,—and a cow for cream, milk, butter, and cheese,-in any English country house, appears indispensable; and to point out how these may be obtained at a reasonable expense, seems to have been Mr. Moubray's object. By adopting the plan of his Work, any family may furnish their table with these luxuries at one third of the price they are obliged to pay at the markets; and the Farmer and Breeder may ! render it the source of considerable profit."—Farmer's Journal.
