Meehans' 

 Monthly. 



"The novice or amateur 

 fond of flowers (and who is 

 not?), knowing little or noth- 

 ing of the gardeners' art, 

 finds in this periodical con- 

 stant guidance and instruc- 

 tion conveyed in a popular 

 form."— Philadelphia Ledger. 



"A magazine that those in- 

 terested in the subject of gar- 

 dening cannot well afford to 

 be without."— Boston Herald. 



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

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

 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. 



Subscription Price, $2.00 per year; $1.00 for 6 months, 

 with Gardening for one year, for $3.50.
