Excerpt from Queensland Garden Manual: Containing Concise Directions for the Cultivation of the Garden, Orchard, and Farm in Queensland; To Which Are Added Sericulture (Silkworm), And the Cultivation of Sugar, Coffee, Tea, and Numerous Other Tropical Plants and Fruit Trees N presenting this little work to the public, the Author feels that some logy is due for venturing to occupy, as a mere amateur, a position of authority on Gardening matters which could have been so much more fitl y assumed by a person trained to the profession. Many reasons have com bined to induce this step, among the most urgent of which is the total absence 'of any directions as to the cultivation and treatment of plants suited to this Colony and climate, for the guidance of the numerous class of farmers continually arriving, and anxious to adapt themselves to their new home. It is not presumed that this want has been fully supplied in this instance but it is believed that a large amount of information is here given, of the most trustworthy character, embracing many subjects not generally treated of in books; and attention is directed to many plants of commercial value, which, if grown here for purposes of export, would tend greatly to the material wealth and prosperity of the Colony. Seventeen years' devotion to this pursuit in Brisbane has given the writer many opportunities for observation and, on all subjects beyond his personal experience, the best local as well as standard authorities have been freely consulted, to ensure accuracy. In numerous instances, how ever, where plants have been but recently imported, the information is necessarily meagre in other cases omissions may occur, which it will be his study to rectify in future editions, should his present effort meet with the approbation of the public.
