TO OUR READERS. 



The Canadian Horticulturist is not 

 published with the expectation or desire 

 of pecuniary profit. Every dollar received 

 from subscribers is ex})ended in procur- 

 ing and publishing information that will 

 be both interesting and valuable to its 

 readers. If yon have found our monthly 

 interesting and valuable to you during 

 the past year, will you not please to 

 help us increase its attractiveness and 

 usefulness by obtaining a few new sub- 

 scribers. It costs but a little more to 

 publish an edition of five or six thou- 

 sand, than of only two thousand. The 

 increased funds that would be at our dis- 

 posal if the subscription list were dou- 

 bled, would enable us to greatly improve 

 the Magazine. Will you not help us to 

 make our Canadian Horticulturist the 

 best and most attractive horticultural 

 monthly.
