We have always strongly recommended to gardeners, whether informed or uninformed, to emigrate to America or Australia, rather than remain in this country; but we more especially recommend this measure to the last class. If they can only raise as much money as will pay their passage to New York (5l. per head, the party providing food and clothes), or to Sydney (30l. per head, including food on the voyage), they will be certain of finding employment, as common labourers, at from 4s. to 5s. a day in both these parts of the world; while the price of excellent food and lodging does not exceed a shilling a day in either. After working a few years, as much may be saved as will enable the party to retire to the back woods of the United States, or the bush of New Holland or Van Diemen's Land, and to purchase a farm of 200 or 300 acres. Let no gardener, however, emigrating to either America or Australia, reckon on being employed in any other capacity than as a common labourer; and let him make up his mind, in the former country at least, to work much harder than he has ever been accustomed to do in Britain, and to meet with fellow-labourers who will generally be found his superiors in every description of knowledge except that of gardening. - But we are forgetting the title to this article. In our last (p. 5.) we concluded with some general remarks on the gentlemen's seats of the west of Scotland; and we shall now offer a few observations on some of their details.
