THE PLANT WORLD 279 



Editorial Announcement. 



We desire to announce to our readers that a controlling interest in 

 The Plant World has been purchased by Professor Francis E. Lloyd, 

 of the Teacher's College, Columbia University, New York City, who has 

 conducted our Teachers' Department so successfully during the past 

 year, and on January 1, 1905, the magazine will pass under his editorial 

 charge. While Professor Lloyd has not completed final arrangement of 

 all details, it is probable that the permanent oflBce of The Plant World 

 will be located in New York City. Further announcements will be made 

 in the December issue. The present subscription price ($1.50) will re- 

 main unchanged. 



Mr. Charles Louis Pollard, who has been closely identified with this 

 publication from its inception, originally as an associate editor, and since 

 June, 1900, as the chief owner and responsible editor, has been invited to 

 remain as an associate under the new management, and will contribute 

 occasional articles. The back numbers, from Vol. 1 to 7 inclusive, will 

 remain in his hands for sale as heretofore. 



It should be a source of satisfaction to our readers that the future of 

 the magazine is assured under such favorable auspices. Professor Lloyd's 

 wide reputation as a teacher, and the skill which he has displayed during 

 the past year in making his department a feature of living interest to all 

 engaged in educational work, insures success for the magazine in the 

 schools ; while its location in New York City, near so large a centre of 

 literary activity as Columbia University, will gain for it an added prestige. 

 We shall defer our actual valedictory until the concluding issue of the 

 volume in December, at which time we shall also publish a brief sketch 

 of the history of this magazine.
