Dr. E. Lewis Sturtevant, of Geneva, proposes that we drop the words fruit culture and vegetable culture, and adopt in their stead pomiculture and olericulture. Following the manufacture of agriculture for farming, horticulture for gardening, sylviculture for forestry, and floriculture for the culture of flowers, Dr. S.'s suggestion may be pardonable. But for our part, we are not ashamed of the good old Saxon. When the Gardeners' Monthly was projected, there was no end of propositions from friends as to what its name should be. But they were all " Horticultural this," or " Horticultural that." "The adjective "monthly" had recently been popularized as a noun by the Atlantic Monthly, and it seemed to the writer of this, that "gardener's" added to this, would be just as well as the Latinized "Horticultural" term. We have never had cause to be ashamed of our old Saxon name, and hence take unkindly to Dr. Sturte-vant's suggestions.
