We earnestly request that all letters containing money, or any communication intend¬

New-Yorker, and not to any individual. We cannot otherwise guarantee the prompt entrv 
of names upon our hooks, or the acknowledgment of money received. 
The free seed distribution, announced in onr issue of Nov. 10, is discontinued with the 
present number, having been extended beyond the original term announced. It was intended 
for the benefit of our old subscribers, and not to induce new ones. Had this been our object, 
it would not have been announced until later, and would have been extended until the first 
of March or thereabouts. 
As has already been stated, we are thus early making preparations for our next annual 
seed distribution, which we believe will please our horticultural friends as well as anything 
that has ever been offered gratuitously. 
As it is the desire of the proprietors to subserve the interests of the readers of this 
journal in every way, we respectfully invite them to communicate with us freely upon all 
topics respecting which they desire information. 
We cordially invite all seedsmen, florists and nurserymen to send us seeds or 
they desire should be tested and reported upon. To assist in the introduction of 
the field, vegetable or flower garden, is one of the first objects ol this journal, 
Experimental Grounds are of special value.__ 
We would state that our lowest club price—five or over—is $2 ; single subscr
