cultivation of the soil of the South.
In the Agricultural Department, our list of contribu

rists ot the South; and each number, for 1853, will
contain a contribution from one of the most distinguish
ed scientific agriculturists in the United States. P
In the Horticultural Department, Mr. Charles A.
Feabody, who has attained unrivalled excellence, ha?
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

Every Southern man who cultivates a plantation,
works a farm or garden, or grows a tree or flower, will
find the Soil of the S&ith an invaluable companion.
