THE LEADING NATIONAL GARDEN 
AND FARM WEEKLY OF AMERICA. 
SUBSCRIBE FOR THE BEST. 
It will please all progressive rural people 
and all people sensible enough 
to have rural tastes. 
From the A. Y. Times: 
“The Rural New-Yorker has done more 
to promote the true interests of agriculture in 
the way of experimenting, than all of the ex¬ 
periment stations put together.” 
From the N. Y. Tribune of Feb. 1, 1888: 
“lhe Rural New-Yorker is a paper which 
during its nearly 39 years of life has done 
vastly more for farming than nine-tenths of 
all the land-grant colleges and experiment 
stations, whose chief business is Underdrainage 
of taxpayers.” 
From the N. Y. Sun: 
“'lhe Rural New-Yorker is one of the 
1 ablest and best papers on rural affairs in all 
America. It is thoroughly practical in every 
department, and its constant efforts in the in¬ 
troduction of new seeds, plants, and imple¬ 
ments after the most careful tests commend it 
to the confidence of every tiller of the soil.” 
From the Farm Journal, Philadelphia, Fa: 
“lhe Rural New-Yorker is the best farm 
weekly in the world.” 
From the Inter-Ocean, Chicago, III.: 
“Readers of the Iuter-Oceau do not need to 
be told that the Rural New-Yorker is one 
of the best horticultural and farm weeklies 
published.” 
From the N. Y. Woi'ld: 
“The Rural New-Yorker is the best agri¬ 
cultural paper in the country.” 
From Josepn Harris, Moreton Farm, N. Y.: 
11 The fact is, you are doing more for agri¬ 
cultural and horticultural science than all the 
experiment stations combined.
