DEPARTMENTS. 
The several departments will 
1 be continued as heretofore, and 
the matter for each will be fur- 
nished by specialists in that par- 
ticular branch. 
The departments are: 
The Orchard. — Our staple 
fruits— Apples, Pears, Plums, 
Peaches and Cherries — are 
dealt with under this heading. 
The planting of orchards; cul- 
ture and pruning of the trees ; 
marketing and storing of the 
fruit ; the varieties best suited 
to certain sections — all in fact, 
that is of interest and value to 
the orchardist is treated of at 
length. 
The Vineyard. — This most 
important department receives 
its full share of attention. 
New varieties are tested in 
the Orchard and Garden 
Experiment Grounds, and 
their merits faithfully reported; 
new methods of culture dis- 
cussed and the experience of 
practical growers interchanged. 
The Vegetable Carden. 
It is not only the home 
kitchen garden that is treated 
of ; the interest of the numer- 
ous market gardeners both 
North and South is especially 
had in view in this department. 
The best varieties, the best 
methods of culture are fully 
discussed and described. 
The Berry Patch . — Every- 
thing classedamong small fruits 
is treated of exhaustively. Spe- 
cial attention is given to new 
varieties, and seasonable topics, 
as planting and culture, mark- 
eting, etc., is fully treated of. 
Every grower of small fruits 
should read this department. 
Nuts and Nut Trees. — 
Orchard and Garden has 
given special prominence to 
this department in the past 
and shall continue to do so, 
believing as we do that they 
are among the most profitable 
fruit trees when properly 
grown. 
Can Count on Him Anyhow. 
O. & G. is the best of them all. You may 
count me a subscriber as long as you keep 
up your present standard. 
This comes from the originator of the 
Hillborn raspberry. W.W. Hillborn, On- 
tario, Canada. 
I like O. & G. very well, says T. A. R. 
Eaton, Wells Co., Ind. 
Berry Patch AVorth a Year’ll Sub- 
scription. 
I thought to order O. & G. in connection 
with a bill of plants, but the “Berry Patch” 
in January is worth the year's subscription. 
Enclosed 50c for one year. — R. Faulkner, 
Green Co., N. Y. 
Nothing Silly in It. 
I like your paper. There is none of that 
sillv reading that sounds to me like tuning 
up ~ a fiddle.— F. Lionberger, New Flor- 
ence, Mo. 
I am much pleased with O. & G. says 
Sarah Amb le. Fort Washington, Pa. 
It Conceals Nothing. 
I have learned more about the faults of 
fruit from two numbers of O. & G. than from 
a year’s reading of the best horticultural 
journals in the country. They tell about 
fruits, except the one thing an inexperienced 
person wants to know — the faults and frail- 
ties of the new candidates for public pa- 
tronage and favor. In this respect your 
journal is original, concise and commenda- 
ble, and therefore worthy of the most liber- 
al support. — J. R. Greenhalze, Bates Co., 
Mo. 
“Orchard and Garden is highly prized,” 
says David Green way. Dartforth, Wis. 
I am delighted with O. & G. It just 
suite me.— Wm. Rodenizer, Lawrence , Mass. 
Succeeded in Getting It. 
The Orchard & Garden is just the paper 
I have been trying to get for some time. — 
A. Miller, Otsego Co., N. Y. 
Much Admired. 
We much admire your excellent papier, 
O. & G. and herewith subscribe for same. — 
J. M. Roundtree & Co., Green Co., Mo. 
‘•It’s the Stu0\” 
Please send me the missing copy. I can’t 
afford to lose it. It's the stuff . — I. A. Wooll, 
Clinton Co., Mich. 
The Verdict of Many Others. 
Your journal gives more practical infor- 
mation on fruit growing than any other 
journal that I ever read. — J. K. S hir k, M. 
D., Lancaster Co., Pa. 
Everything Coming from Moumouth 
Pleases 
I like the O. & G. s« much. Am more 
than pleased « ith everything that comes 
from Monmouth. J. F. Mooar, Norfolk 
Co., Mass. 
A Reliable Patron. 
You can rely on me for one patron of so 
bright and instructive a paper. — John B. 
Teasel, Wayne Co., Indiana.
