In RURAL ARCHITECTURE we shall offer designs of select villas, specimens of which have appeared in previous volumes. An IMPORTANT feaTURE has been added to the Miscellaneous Department, by which a page or two in each number will be devoted to correspondents and readers who may be desirous of asking any questions relative to any department of Gardening.
