TRIED BY TIME
RACTICAL people are well pleased with the recent development in horticultural journalism by which the young AMERICAN GARDEN absorbed the old Gardener’s Monthly, which included the Horticulturist, started by Andrew Jackson Downing, over forty-two years ago.
I told our local society just what I really think the other day, that you come the nearest my ideal of a Horticultural Monthly for popular circulation of any of the makers of such literature.—Chas. W. Garfield, Sec’y Michigan Horticultural Society.
The magazine in now clearly the best horticultural publication in America, and soon I trust I can say the best extant.—Dr. E. Lewis Sturtevant.
As much as I regret the melting away of that old landmark, the Gardener’s Monthly, of which I was a reader since 1867, as glad I feel that the transfer has been made into good hands.—R. Maitre. Florist, New Orleans.
I have been a subscriber to the Gardener’s Monthly from its first number. I feel sorry that the journal is going away from Philadelphia, but am glad it has gone into such good hands.—Chas. H. Miller. Landscape Gardener, Fairmount Park.
Indispensable to the fruit growers, horticulturists, gardeners and florists (both practical and amateur) of this country.—Cyrus T. Fox, State Pomologist of Pennsylvania.
It is a lamentable failing of horticultural educators in making the work intricate and apparently hard of execution. Your new cover is in perfect accord with the contents, viz.: It expresses and teaches horticulture pure and simple.—Geo. R. Knapp, Rahway, N. J.
Adapted to the wants of Amateurs, Country Dwellers, Practical Gardeners and Fruit Growers, The American Garden has stood the test of Time, the great leveler, and receives the endorsements and support of all these classes in every section and many lands.
The equal in cost and value of many $2, and $4 publications, this handsome and practical illustrated magazine of horticulture costs only $1.00 a year. In Club with Garden and Forest for $4.50. Address:
