WHAT SUBSCRIBERS SflY. 



Your publication is a necessity now 

 t(j every well appointed library table 

 where horticulture and floriculture hold 

 sway. The excellent good sense shown in 

 the conduct of the journal warrants praise 

 for the past and good omens for the 

 future. J. ER.iSTUs Lester. 



Vice-President Am. Pomological Society 

 Rhode Island. 



I AM VERY much pleased with the paper 

 especially so with its frankness and 

 honesty. W. H. C. 



Mass. 



I AM a warm admirer of Garukxi.ng. 

 is always meaty. F. H. J. 



Lancaster, N. Y. 



P. C. of this state whom I recommended 

 to subscribe to Gardening in the spring, 

 was here to-day, and said he wished to 

 thank me for telling him about Garden- 

 ing and said further, that from many a 

 single article he had gained more benefit 

 than the 3'ear's subscription would pay 

 for. .\nd he means this. 



Joseph Meehan. 



Germantown, Philadelphia, Sept. 3, '94-. 



In Tie English Flower Garden, Mr. 

 Robinson not only tells one how to raise 

 plants (in England); but he describes 

 them so attractively that you want to 

 raise them. Gardening does this too; and 

 that is one reason why I like it so well. 



Amherst, Mass. Anso.n D. Morse. 



We have enjoyed it so much that we 

 cannot do without it. It is not a collec- 

 tion of letters from people who don't 

 know any more than ourselves, but every 

 article is interesting in itself and a help. 



Malone, N. Y. M. E. M. 



I would not fail receiving Gardening, 

 as all mv success with plants is due to its 

 instructions. Mrs. T. H. C.

 magazines.

 of a wild flower of the United States and two pages of descriptive text, fourteen pages 

 of general botanical and horticultural literature, and illustrated throughout with half-
