96 THE FERN BULLETIN 



/ 



with a few misguided enemies. Our contributors and 

 subscribers have not spared themselves in pushing the 

 magazine forward and we again extend to them our 

 thanks with a full realization of how poorly the words 

 express the gratitude we feel. We lay down the pen 

 with gladness, though we part company with its as- 

 sociations with a keen sense of regret. Another 

 chapter is closed but over the leaf a new one begins. 

 Though The Fern Bulletin be dead, its spirit will live 

 in the pages of The American Botanist into which it 

 now merges.

With the increase in size of the American Botanist > 

 the price to new subscribers advances to $1.00. Old 

 subscribers and any who have ever been subscribers 

 may secure the magazine at the old rate of 75 cents by 

 subscribing before the end of February. This same of- 

 fer is made to all subscribers to The Fern Bulletin. The 

 new magazine will be the largest for the price and by 

 far the best illustrated magazine in the United States. 

 It will continue to publish everything of interest about 

 ferns and every reader of this magazine will need it. 

 A subscription now will not only save 25 cents, but it 

 will entitle the subscriber to the magazine at that rate 

 as long as desired.
