GARDENING. 



Feb. 15^ 



Publisher's Department. 



It gives me pleasure to express mj- 

 appreciation of Gardening as the best 

 and most practical periodical of its kind 

 which has ever come to my notice. I 

 always look for its arrival with interest, 

 and read it all the way through. 



New York City. J. T. B. 



I HAVE JUST remitted for Gardening 

 another year. And I cannot let the oppor- 

 tunity pass without expressing my grati- 

 fication and great pleasure each number 

 affords me. I always find it full of good 

 things: I only regret it cannot be in the 

 hands of all lovers of flowers. Such pub- 

 lications should be read by many more of 

 our people; it would create a love for the 

 beautiful in nature, and many a home 

 more cheerful by the addition of more 

 flowers. Every year I try and induce 

 liberal use of plants, bulbs and flowers 

 of all kinds, not for the profit but the 

 love of seeing them being grown. 



E. Currier. 



Petersburg, Va., January 18, 1890. 



It gives me great pleasure to renew my 

 subscription to Gardening, which I have 

 found most interesting and helpful. If I 

 find that any of my friends want a garden 

 ing paper it will give me great pleasure to 

 recommend yours. M. P. 



Hagerstown, Maryland. 



I ENCLOSE $2.00 for my subscription tor 

 1896. I must say Gardening is all I 

 desire in regard to practical ideas, and 

 knowing Mr. Falconer (or at least I used 

 to know him) I am sure he will not sup- 

 port anything else. J. S.
