CHARACTERISTICS.
Both the Editors of this Journal are engaged in the
cultivation of the soil of the South.
In the Agricultural Department, our list of contribu
tors embraces many of the most successful agricultu
rists of the South; and each number, for 1853, will
contain a contribution from one of the most distinguish
ed scientific agriculturists in the United States. 3
In the Horticultural Department, Mr. Charles A.
Peabody, who has attained unrivalled excellence, has
secured the co-operation of Iveison L. Harris, J. Van
Buren, and Dr. Camak, distinguished horticulturists of
Georgia, who have pledged themselves to contribute
regularly to our columns.
With a rapidly increasing subscription list, the Pub
lishers hope to be able to have the next volume beauti
fully illustrated.
Every Southern man who cultivates a plantation,
works a farm or garden, or grows a tree or flower, will
find the Soil of the South an invaluable companion.
N. B.—The cash system will be rigidly adheied to,
and in no case will the paper be sent unless the money
accompanies the order. We return our thanks to our
subscribers for 1852, and hope each one of them will
send us his dollar before the close of this year. The
first number for the new volume will be published by
the Ist of January.
