THE AMERICAN GARDEN. 



233 



The American (i.uiinis 

 is certainly the best horti- 

 cultural paper published 

 in this country. Hand- 

 somely printed, beauti- 

 fully illustrated, and in- 

 telligently edited, it is a 

 treasure in the home ot 

 every lover of Prints and 

 Flowers. Each number is 

 filled with practical in- 

 formation about every 

 branch of gardening.— 

 Farmers' Home Journal. 



I think The American 

 Garden is constantly im- 

 proving, and to any one 

 who has a garden it will 

 prove a great help.— L. D. 

 Standhardt, Howe's Cave, 



N. Y. 



I find The American 

 Garden very interesting 

 and useful in my garden- 

 ing pursuits here, and pre- 

 serve, the numbers bound 

 for reference.— B. W. N., 

 Naples, Italy. 



I should like to receive 

 Clematis Coeeinea as pre- 

 mium, although The ( ;au- 

 den is enough of itself for 

 the price asked.— Mrs. A. 

 Craft, St. Joseph, Mo. 



A paper of large attain- 

 ments, and of great value 

 to every one who is inter- 

 ested in Horticulture.— A. 

 B. Knupp, Providence, B.I. 



I like your paper so well 

 that I am doing all I can 

 for it.— S. B. Palmer, Gree- 

 ley, Colorado. 



It is a neat and valuable 

 magazine.— Prof. W. J. 

 Beat, Lansing, Mich. 



much, and should not like 

 to do without it.— Mrs. Ceo. 

 Wayncr, Dallas, Pa. 



I like The American 

 Garden very much ; it is 

 sound and practical. — F. 

 H.James, Lancaster, N. I. 



I have taken The Amer- 

 ican Garden for some 

 time, and hope to for n mid- 

 years to come. — Mrs. E. F. 

 Sayre, Fulton, Wis. 



Contains just what (lie 

 people want ; practical 

 and trustworthy ; served 

 in most palatable style.— 

 P.T. Quinn, Newark, N. J. 



I like the paper very 

 much, and find it very in 

 structive as well as inter- 

 esting.— Mrs. A. Warner, 

 Pomfret, Conn. 



The American Garden 

 is undoubtedly the best 

 horticultural paper in the 

 land. It is neat and hand- 

 somely gotten up, and full 

 of practical and reliable 

 information about every- 

 thing, pertaining to gar- 

 dening. No one who culti- 

 vates a garden can afford 

 to be without it.— Pres. 

 Henry E. t'cllcw, before the 

 Bedford Farmers' Club. 



I prize The American Garden very 

 much, and depend entirely on its in- 

 structions, which I have always found 

 valuable aud reliable. The bound vol- 

 ume is indispensable to me. — C. W. 

 Beach, Pine Valley, Utah. 



I like The American Garden more 

 and more. The Colored Plates that 

 come with it arc worth the subscription 

 price, to say nothing of the valuable 

 information we get from each issue.— 

 B. M. Hitchcock, Xauyatuck, Conn.
