Zbc pimt Morib. 



An lllustratad Montlily Journal of Popular Botany. 



ESTABLISHED 1897. 

 The only non=technical periodical devoted exclusively to this branch of biology 

 and dealing with all phases of plant life. 



PROSPECTUS POR THE NEW YEAR. 



Each issue of Volatile IV, commencing in January 1901, will be 

 enlarged by four additional pages, and the special features of the 

 volume will be as follows : a department of notes and suggestions for 

 teachers; articles descriptive of the various groups among the lower 

 plates, illustrated by full page plates; series of articles by prominent 

 botanists recounting their collecting experiences in such countries as 

 Cuba, Porto Rico, Alaska, etc; discussions of important economic 

 plants; book reviews, and general items. The eight-page supplement, 

 devoted to a systematic account of all known families of flowering 

 plants, which has been such a valuable feature of the past volume, will 

 be continued and even more freely illustrated. Many of our sub- 

 scribers have voluntarily testified to their appreciation of The Plant 

 World, but the words of Professor Charles E. Bessey, of the Univer- 

 sity of Nebraska, are particularly gratifying to us and should be re- 

 membered by everyone who contemplates taking a botanical periodical. 

 He says, "The Plant World has made a place for itself, and I cannot 

 afford to be without it."
