TO THE LATE SUBSCRIBERS OF 



THE HORTICULTURIST." 



Having purchased the above niagazme from Henry T. WilHams, its late 

 Editor and Proprietor, it ceased to exist as a; distinct pubhcation with the issue 

 of its December number of the year just closed. 



■I have prepared an extra edition of the January number of "The Gar- 

 dener's Monthly and Horticulturist" for those subscribers of the late publica- 

 tion who may desire to renew their subscriptions for 1876. 



This number which you receive is a copy of the same, and is sent to you on 

 the presumption that j'ou were a subscriber to the late Horticulturist, up to 

 the close of 1875; its publisher having furnished us a list of that year's subscrib- 

 ers, of which your name is one. 



We hope you will, on reception of this initial number of the combined pub- 

 lications, inform us of your pleasure as to a renewal or discontinuance for the 

 .year 1876, as our editions are limited to our subscription list, with very* few over 

 copies; and a postponement of renewal to a later date might find us unprepared 

 to supply the whole series for this year, including the back numbers from 

 January. 



Those whose subscriptions are now current entitling them to one or more 

 numbers within 1876, to complete their credits, will please advise us at once, 

 informing of the time paid up to, so that we may revise their account on our 

 mail list. 



The terms of subscription are, for one year, including postage, $2.10 ; for 

 six months, $1.05 ; for four months, 70 cents ; for three months, 53 cents. 



Or, send us your own name and that of a new subscriber for $3.20 the two. 



We would particularly thank those who wish to discontinue to kindly drop 

 a line to that effect, and accei^t the present number for their trouble in so doing ; 

 as it will be a great favor to know early how to limit our edition to the probable 

 demand. Hoping an inspection of the current number may inspire you with a 

 desire to try us one year longer, or that we may, at least, hear from j'ou, pro or 

 con, for reasons above stated, I am verj'^ respectfully yours, 



CHAS. H. MAROT.
