The Progress made by Gardeners in professional and general Knowledge, in this part of the country, since we last passed through it, requires particular notice; but we confess that we have felt so much flattered by the manner in which both gardeners and their employers have every where received us, that we are afraid to trust ourselves with the subject. The numerous nurseries which have sprung up show the patronage which planting has received; and the hot-houses, of some kind or other, which are now to be found in every walled garden, attest the demand which has existed for skill in forcing. It is obvious that, to supply the demand thus created, gardeners must of necessity have become more intelligent. Hence the. fact of their having made progress does not rest on our opinion, but on the evidence derived from the actual state of the country.
