 ba(.-co plants or Cabbage plants put Sn'(i Shot around 

 and near the plants and stirit In the soil, for this keeps 

 away the cut worm, and I never saw a root maKROt 

 come to any cabbage so planted. Some are wise and

 the best for economy In the garden, and the DuSTEBS 

 for potat4>es and Turnips. For potatoes If Sl.iu; Shot 

 Is used lightly. It Is cheap to use. If you throw it on the 

 tops heavy It does little good, the Bugs don't touch It; 

 use It light, spread It on fine, and I'll warrant any man 

 will get a good crop of potatoes. 



Remember that the Blight comes like a thief In the 

 nlglit: keep a look out and use the Slug Shot from 

 time to time. These conclusions I have arrived at 

 aft«r many years of trial and ob.servatlon.

 not?). liUQwing little or noth- 

 ing of the gardeners' art,

 stant guidance and instruc- 

 tion conveyed in a popular 

 torm."— Philadelphia Ledger. 



A twenty paged magazine of intelligent aud practical Horticulture, Wild Flowers and kindred sub- 

 jects. Illustrated with copper and wood engravings. Each issue contains a beautiful colored plate ot 

 a Wild Flower or Fern— engraved and printed by Prang & Co., expressly for this work. 



Meehans' Monthly contains practical and general information on all horticultural subjects, the 

 care and culture of trees, shrubs, hardy plants, fruits and vegetables. The chapters on Wild Flowers 

 and Botany are written in such a simple form that the amateur has no difficulty in gleaning informa- 

 tion on a subject that heretofore has only been open to the student of Botany. 



It is not a work catering to an idle hour and then to be thrown aside. As a volume for the library 

 it is equal to the best works on botanical and general horticultural subjects, and as such, it has a value 

 far beyond the usual monthly magazines.
