WALTER NICHOL, whom Mr. Loudon, in his Encyclopaedia, calls an author of
merit, and informs us that Mr. Nichol, "in the year 1810, undertook an
extensive journey through England, for the purpose of visiting the
principal seats and plantations, with a view, on his return, to compose
the _Planter's Calendar_. This work had scarcely commenced, when he was

His works appear to be the following:--

The Gardener's Kalendar; or, Monthly Directory of every Branch of
Horticulture; 8vo.

The Planter's Kalendar; or, the Nurseryman's and Forester's Guide; 8vo.

The Villa Garden Directory; or, Monthly Index of Work to be done in
Gardens, Shrubberies, &c.; 12mo.

Scotch Forcing Gardener; 8vo.

The Practical Planter.

Of either of the above enumerated Authors on Gardening, I have not been
able to discover any Portrait.

Of the following we _have_ Portraits:--

page to his "Government of Cattle," 4to. and is _scarce_. He published,
