 grow better. M. E. Ten Eyck.

You will find enclosed $2 for the re- 

 newal of my subscription to Gardening. 

 The price has been raised, but if it con- 

 tinues to put forth the sound and prac- 

 tical ideas which it has been doing since 

 its beginning I consider its price yet little 

 value for what we get.
