The subscription price remains the same as last year and we send out a large number of sample copies of this issue, with the desire that when you receive your copy, if you are not already a subscriber, you will conclude to become one and send us fifty cents and order the current volume sent to your address.

To that end we announce that hereafter we shall be pleased to publish letters, or parts of letters, from our correspondents, whenever we consider such of sufficient general interest to our subscribers. Also, whenever desired, questions of importance sent in by correspondents will be answered in these columns. Members of the Advisory Board have promised to take charge of this department of the work. GEOPHILOUS PLANTS OF OHIO, II. FREDERICK J. TYLER. The underground parts of plants are often of value as a means of characterization, and if the plant is a weed they become of the greatest importance; as the worst weeds are almost invariably geophytes. Very little information is given in most of the manuals upon this subject, and what is given is not always satisfactory. [Illustration: _Figure 1._]
