1876. 1876. 



CENTENNIAL ERA. 



CONSOLIDATION 



OF 



TWO MAGAZINES, 



The " HoRTiCTLTUEiST " of New York City, having been purchased in the interest of the GAR- 

 DENER'S MONTHLY, the former Magazine issued its last number with December, 1875, when it 

 completed its Thirtieth year. Henry T. Williams, its late editor and projn-ietor, gives it up in order 

 to confine his attention more effectively to the other branches of his expanding business. 



THE GARDENER'S MONTHLY, with the present issue will be hereafter known as tlie " Garden- 

 er's Monthly and Horticulturist." It is, at this date, the only Monthly Magazine devoted to Horti- 

 culture, in the United States, East of the Rocky Movntains. It will continue under the able Editorship 

 of THOMAS MEEHAN, and will as heretofore do its best to deserve the consideration and support 

 of the increasing numbers, who, through cultivation, taste, interest, tiesire the companionship or aid 

 of such a literature. 



The subscribers of the Gardener's Monthly and those of the late Horticulturist ai-e kindly 

 requested to give their encouragement to this consolidation, l)y an early renewal of their own sub- 

 scriptions, and, if possible, the enclosure of, each, a new subscriljer with their own orders. 



The lovers of Horticulture generally are asked to give the Magazine a year's trial. 



Single Subscription Price, $2.10 per Year. Six Months for $1.05 ; Four Months 

 for 70 cents ; Three Months for 53 cents. One Old with one New Subscriber, 

 or Two New Subscribers, $3,20 for the two.
