THIS CAME WITH A DOLLAR BILL. 
J. W. Kerr, Denton, Md., Dec., 17 th, 1898 —“Enclosed find paper 
with our nation’s signature thereon, which I offer in exchange for one 
year’s subscription to National Nurseryman. ( 1899 ). While mine 
is at a discount in some respects, I acknowledge yours to be at a 
premium, as the exponent of clean, up-to-date, horticultural doctrine. 
By good business management you can exchange the paper I send 
for one hundred copper pennies, which you can by proper manipula¬ 
tion, turn to horticultural account, as copper in its various forms is a 
good fungicide, and with your effectual editorial sprayer, you can 
keep on killing out the rot.”
