Plant Diseases and Insects injurious to vegetation.

It will place scientific information clearly and simply before
the public, and make available for the instruction of all persons
interested in garden plants the conclusions reached by the most
trustworthy investigators. Arrangements have been made to figure and
describe new and little-known plants (especially North American) of
horticultural promise. A department will be devoted to the history
and description of ornamental trees and shrubs. New florists' flowers,
fruits and vegetables will be made known, and experienced gardeners
will describe practical methods of cultivation.
GARDEN AND FOREST will report the proceedings of the principal
Horticultural Societies of the United States and the condition of the
horticultural trade in the chief commercial centres of the country.
GARDEN AND FOREST, in view of the growing taste for rural life, and
of the multiplication of country residences in all parts of the United
States, especially in the vicinity of the cities and of the larger
towns, will make a special feature of discussing the planning and
planting of private gardens and grounds, small and large, and will
endeavor to assist all who desire to make their home surroundings
attractive and artistic. It will be a medium of instruction for all
persons interested in preserving and developing the beauty of natural
scenery. It will co-operate with Village Improvement Societies
and every other organized effort to secure the proper ordering and
maintenance of parks and squares,
