For more than two years the editor of the Fern Bulletin has also been editing a journal for the plant-lover, called The American Botanist. That he has been fairly successful may be assumed from the fact that it now has the largest circulation of any botanical magazine in America. People do not buy such publications out of charity; they buy them for what they contain. No doubt the principal reason for the American Botanist’s popularity is that it is untechnical—even those who are not botanists can understand it. Moreover it deals with a very different side of botany from that usually presented. If you are interested in plants as living things—their uses, habits, and curious methods of getting on in the world—this is just the publication you want. A large number of fern students are already readers of the American Botanist, but to induce others to become such, we offer the last three numbers for this year, all the numbers of 1904, for the regular subscription price of $1.00 if received before the first of January. Or we will send the first five volumes (of six numbers each) and a year’s subscription, for $3.00. With the latter offer, your subscription to the Fern Bulletin will be renewed for 50 cents additional.
