A TREAT TO NUBSEBYMEN. 



If there is a nurseryman who has not 



already awakened to the fact that The 



Eeview, while published primarily for 



florists, is of unequaled interest and 



value to those in the nursery trade, 



the following letter will show the 



facts: 



The BeTlew always Is a treat to tne, and I am 

 more of a nurseryman than a florist. I gain 

 lots of Information from It and am glad to 

 porlose $1 for another year. — Chas. B. Glvan, 

 Murfreesbo»o. Tenn.. March 20. J91.1.
