The Editors of Tiltons Journal of Horticulture cordially invite all in-terested in horticulture and pomology, in its various branches, to send ques-tions upon any subject upon which information may be desired. Our corps ofcorrespondents is very large, and among them may be found those fully compe-tent to reply to any ordinary subject in the practice of horticulture. Any ques-tions which may be more difficult to answer will be duly noticed, and therespective subjects fully investigated.
