Excerpt from The Magazine of Horticulture, Botany, Vol. 8: And All Useful Discoveries and Improvements in Rural Affairs, 1842

The taste for horticulture continues to increase throughout the country with much rapidity, and new gardens, villa residences, and commercial establishments for the sale of nursery productions, are every where increasing. From the great extent of territory over which the gardening operations of this country are spread, the rapidity with which improvement has taken place cannot be so easily perceived: if they were all reduced to an extent of surface within the compass of that of England, what is accomplished every year would astonish the most accurate observer. But scattered over twenty-six States, and comprising an area of two millions of square miles, it is scarcely possible to form an accurate opinion of the advancement of horticulture in this country.

After the detailed notices which have appeared in our last volume, upon the gardens and state of gardening in New York and Philadelphia, and with the continuation of the same article, which will appear in the succeeding numbers of the Magazine, giving the results of our tour in Baltimore and Washington, there will be less for us to say at this time, without in some degree repeating what we have already advanced. We shall therefore, as briefly as possible, note down the more important improvements which have marked the progress of horticulture for 1841, referring, as occasion may require, to the various articles and papers which have appeared in the past volume.
