A Bright and Readible Illustrated Monthly , 

 Journal of Popular Botany. , 



The'Magazine, now in its sixth year, is aiming 

 to do for plants what The Osprey is doing for 

 birds. 



It contains 28 pages of reading matter each 

 mouth, and is illustrated with numerous half- 

 tone plates and cuts. While devoted to popular 

 botany The Plant World is in no sense "botani- 

 cal" or technical. It appeals to the nature 

 lover and the general reader. 



Subscription price, $1.00 a year, with a neat 

 little book premium free with every new sub- 

 scriber.

THE OOLOGIST 



(of Albion, N. Y.) 

 IS THE OLDEST PUBLICATION IN AMERICA, 



The OoLOGisT is the dieapest "Bird" publication 

 in the world (for only 50 cents you receive ll.i)'' 

 worth of premiums, your selection, 25c. worth 

 advertising and the Gologist for a whole year.) 



The Ooloqist, has a larger paid circulation thai. 

 all other "Bird" publications in America cnmbine 



The Ooloqist has long been recognized the besc 

 Advertising Medium in its line in the world. The 

 "Country GenLhmeii" is the leading Agricultural 

 newspaper in America, and in soliciting advertising 

 for its columns, it makes its strongest hit in the fol- 

 lowing statement: "As to quantity of circulation it 

 pubUshes many more 'Want Ads' than all other 

 papers combined. You doubtless know what a 

 Want Ad' circulation must be and always isl" 



From this same stand point The Gologist's rank 

 among pubUcations devoted not only to Ornithology 

 but Natural History as well, is identical to that of 

 the Country Gentlemen among agricultmal publi- 

 cations. 



The Gologist has very few half-tones and contains 

 only 16 pages each issue— one-half of which are ad- 

 vertising. 



During the past fifteen years, (The Gologist's 

 age) many superior "Bird" publications and scores 

 of inferior ones have dropped by the way. Thk 

 Gologist, however, is still issued each month and 

 a sample copy of a recent issue can always be 

 obtained by addressing a postal to
