<lA botanical 

 encyclopedia 



There is no botanical publication in the whole world that contains as much 

 information of value to the plant lover as THE AMERICAN BOTANIST. 

 Since the beginning it has consistently made a specialty of those fugitive notes 

 about plants, which other journals neglect, but which are at the base of any 

 intelligent interest in plants. Nowhere else can one find so many and varied 

 notes on such subjects as latex, perfume, flower color, nectar, pollen, dyes, soaps, 

 pollination, drug plants, edible wild plants, seed dispersal, freaks, Mendel's law, 

 evolution, the Mutation theory, the use of the various parts in the economy of 

 the plant, etc., etc. In the cumulative index to the contents of the volumes in 

 this office, there are 138 divisions, many of them with 50 or more titles each. 

 There are literally thousands of articles. If bound in one volume, the numbers 

 would make a book larger than the largest dictionary. The information they 

 contain can be found nowhere else. All the large libraries as well as many 

 private individuals have complete sets, and every plant lover should follow their 

 example. We have less than 50 sets. Get one while you can. The first 22 

 volumes will be sent unbound and postpaid for $12.00.
