The Florist and Pomologist. July. Edited by Thomas Moore, F.L.S.
(Published for the proprietors, by Messrs. Kent.)—This valuable publication has, we observe, been enlarged from "royal " to " imperial " size, a change which, without prejudice to our views on the "Empress" question, we may welcome. It is divided, as usual, between the orna- mental and the useful, the latter being chiefly represented by an article
on the "Out-door Culture of Figs," from which many gardeners may take a hint. The springs that we commonly have make us ask whether it is worth while to grow anything in the open air. Figs will, of course, want as much protection as anything. There is also a suggestion, accompanied by an illustration, of two serviceable plums, the "Dia- mond" and "Belgian Purple." The Rev. G. Jeans continues his articles on " The Philosophy of Florists' Flowere."
