Book Description

Excerpt from The Gardener's Magazine, and Register of Rural and Domestic Improvement, 1827 A few enlightened individuals may bring an art to the highest degree of perfection, and may record its principles, and the history of its productions in books; but unless the minds of those who are to practise this art are so far enlightened as to be able to under stand and reason upon those principles, and draw proper and useful inferences from that history, improvement can never become generally beneficial to society, or permanently incorporated with the practice of the country. It is this tendency to enlighten the practical gardener that constitutes the principal value of the Gardener's Magazine; and in this view of its object, and with a prospect of its duration for many years, we look forward to 'a generation of gardeners of superior intellect, character, and happiness, as well as to new and higher sources of enjoyment for.
