culturist. Edited by Thomas Meehan, 
Published by Charles H. Marot. Phil- 
adelphia, September, 1878. 
We receive the above named publication 
regularly, and beleive that it has no equal in 
ihe shape of a gardener's or horticulturist's 
journal. It is in fact the best publication 
for the amateur culturist, florist, pomologist, 
arboriculturist, nurseryman, seedman and 
lover of the country. It also contains month- 
ly a limited number of articles of interest to 
the naturalist.

AGENCY. 
We have established this Agency for the convenience of our Western Naturalists, who 
have, no doubt, all been disgusted by the length of time it took for books, reports, etc. — 
ordered from some of the eastern agencies — to reach their destination. Hence the object of 
establishing an Agency at St. Louis, which is centrally located and should receive a goodly 
share of their patronage. 
Postage and Expressage 
On Books ordered from the following list, send 2 cents additional for postage on every 25 
cents, or fraction thereof, in sum total of order made up from books costing not over $3.00

individual cases, we remit any over-postage received, and if not enough is forwarded we

Unless specially directed, it will be sent by express, except in instances where it will be
