Subscription Credits.— After send- 

 ing subscriptions to this office, we 

 would respectfully ask every one to 

 look at the label on the wrapper of the 

 next two papers, and there they will 

 find the credit indicated thus : Those 

 ,who have paid for the first six months 

 of this year will find " June 83 " after 

 their names. Those who have paid 

 for the whole year will find " Dec. S3 " 

 on their papers. The credit runs to 

 the end of the month indicated. 



The credit given on Til AT LABEL 

 is a sufficient notification of subscrip- 

 tions due and receipt for payments 

 made. If not so indicated within two 

 weeks after sending money to us, you 

 may be sure something is wrong, and 

 should write to us about it. It will 

 save annoyance and trouble if our 

 subscribers will give this matter due 

 attention. 



i^" Constitutions and By-Laws for 

 local Associations $2.00 per 100. The 

 name of the Association printed in the 

 blanks for 50 cents extra. 



James Tick. — From the appearance 



of Fict's Floral Giiid£, which is on 

 our desk, we should judge that the 

 young Vicks are " chips of the old 

 block," as the Floral Q-uide with its 

 lithographed cover is handsome 

 enough for the parlor table. It is 

 printed on the best of paper, has three 

 colored plates of fiowers and vegeta- 

 bles, and full of useful information. 

 Those who send 10 cents for it cannot 

 be disappointed, as the plates alone 

 are worth the amount. Address, as 

 in past years, James Vick, Roches- 

 ter, N. Y.
