The Plant World is devoted to the interests of the general reader and of students 
and teachers. It therefore seeks to present each month in non-teclinical form the results 
of the development of botanical knowledge in the widest sense. 
Articles embodying the results of travel and research, general observation and ex¬ 
periences in teaching are desired for publication. Authors are however especially urged 
to render such articles in non technical form. 
Subscription, |i.oo a year (12 issues); Single copies, 15 cents; Foreign postage, 
25 cents additional. If local checks are used ten cents must be added for collection. 
This charge is necessitated by the rules of the New York Clearing House. Make paper

All communications of whatever nature should be directed to

On account of the complexity of the financial relations of The Plant World 
with the Wild Flower Preservation Society of America it has been arranged that the 
subscriptions of the members of this Society shall run from January to December. Each 
member will therefore receive a statement of his account reading to December, 1905. 
We trust that this will meet with your acquiescence. The proper adjustments between 
the fotmer and present Editors will be carried out. 
In answering advertisements please, mention THE PLANT WORLD.
