Medians' Monthly 



A GUARANTEE of the high standard of 

 Meehans' Monthly is that it is conducted 

 by Thomas Meehan, formerly editor of the 

 famous "Flowers and Ferns of the United 

 States" and of the well and favorably 

 known "Gardener's Monthly." Interesting 

 not only to the amateur gardener, the bot- 

 anist and the scientist, but to every lover of 

 horticulture and nature as well. The con- 

 cise, instructive and practical articles made 

 it popular from the first, and few of its class 

 have been so universally well received or 

 so widely quoted. 



THE LEADING FEATURE, the colored 

 plate of some native flower or fern, exe- 

 cuted in Prang's finest style, and chaptet 

 relatin g thereto, is alone well worth the 

 subscription price. 



Two Dollars a Year. Sample Free.
