PUBLISHER'S NOTES. 



It is a pleasure to commend to our readers 

 the well-known firm of J. M. Thorburu & Co., 

 whose advertisement appears on the rear cover 

 of this magazine. Messrs. Thorburn & Co. 

 have carried on their business of supplying 

 seeds of all kinds for more than 100 years. 

 We have lately received their large illustrated 

 catalogue for 1904, which contains lists and 

 cuts, not only of all kinds of vegetable and 

 flower seeds, but also of agricultural and hor- 

 ticultural implements and garden requisites. 

 Of especial interest are the lists of tree and 

 shrub seeds, both coniferous and deciduous. 



Perhaps you have noticed that the older 

 men in the U. S. field parties carry Marble 

 knives. They have learned to look for quality 

 in the few things they are allowed to carry. 

 The younger ones break up a few cheap for- 

 eign knives, and then take their elders' advice. 



If you take the interest in good rifle shoot- 

 ing which a good citizen, and particularly a 



GUARDED 



forester, should display, your heart will warm 

 toward Marble's new rifle sights. They look 

 ever so much like the time-tried Lyman, but 

 Marble says they are better, and if that is the 

 case they must be cracker-jacks. You can 

 look right under the bead of the front sight. 

 Catch the idea ? 



The Kinstler " War-bag " advertised in this 

 magazine is coming to be a very well-known 

 and popular part of the outfit with the fellows 

 who camp out as a business. It is of conven- 

 ient size and shape, contains no frames to 

 break or interfere with one's ribs, and packs 

 either as a grip or a knapsack. 



The Scandinavian Tree Seed Establishment, 

 carried on at Copenhagen, Denmark, since 

 1887 by Johannes Rafn, is prepared to furnish 

 a large variety of tree seeds suitable for plan- 

 tations or park and lawn ornamentation. This 

 firm can supply a long list of American coni- 

 fers in addition to European, West Asiatic, 

 and North African species. They also handle 

 a good line of deciduous trees and shrubs from 

 all quarters of the globe. 



Thomas Meehan & Sons, the old reliable 

 nurserymen and tree seedsmen of Dresher- 

 town, Pa., are offering a large stock of 3-year- 

 old transplanted White Pine seedlings for de- 

 livery next April. These plants are 8-12 inches 

 high, and will be found exactly what is needed 

 for a vigorous forest plantation. Price, $S per 

 500, or $15 per 1,000, F. O. B. 



White Pine seed is below the normal crop, 

 but orders will be booked now, subject to the 

 usual conditions as to crop, at $2.75 per pound; 

 10 pounds or more at $2.50. Postage extra, 

 10 cents per pound. 



J. A. Gage, proprietor of the Gage County 

 nurseries of Beatrice, Nebraska, writes that in 

 his experience the old scheme of rubbing blood 

 and liver on the bark of young orchard trees 

 as a protection from rabbits is not a success; 

 neither does he advocate the use of wood ve- 

 neer. His scheme is to trap the rabbits, and 

 also to wrap tarred building paper loosely 

 around the trunk of the tree. This is also a 

 good preventive for borers. 



The spring season for tree planting will be 

 at hand soon so soon, that unless you make 

 up your mind at once and put in your order 

 for seeds and seedlings, you are liable to be 

 among those who will receive only regrets 

 from the seedsmen. 



Have some consideration for the other fel- 

 low. He naturally does not wish to carry a 

 large perishable stock unless he has early 

 orders to warrant the risk, no matter how 

 willing he may be to do business with you. 

 We believe that the people who advertise with 

 us will treat you fairly. Show your confi- 

 dence in us by patronizing them.
