2,000 Copies of The Farmer 



Have been printed each month since 

 the publication passed into the hands 

 of the present proprietors. Of this 

 number the copies not wanted for regu- 

 lar subscribers have been sent to leading 

 farmers in the various districts of the 

 county, for their examination, in the 

 hope that they would be pleased with it 

 and become subscribers. We are proud 

 to be able to state that The Farmer has 

 made a very favorable impression where- 

 ever it has been read, and we have every 

 reason to believe that its subscription 

 list will be doubled before the year is 

 out. Lancaster being one of the most 

 populous and wealthy agricultural coun- 

 ties in the nation, this journal is a very 

 desirable medium for those who wish to 

 reach a thrifty class of farmers.

 some very beautiful iu bloom, and attractive as ornamenta. 

 Several new SPECIES have been discovered, and many more
