From Wiki: American Agriculturist was an agricultural publication for farm, home, and garden in the United States, published in English and German editions. Its subtitle varied over time: for the Farm, Garden, and Household (1869), for the Household, Garden, Farm (1877). It often included the tag-line Full of Good Things for Everybody, in City, Village, and Country (1877), etc. Solon Robinson was one of its writers. It was illustrated by numerous engravings. In 1885, it published a Family Cyclopaedia. In 1889, it published The Illustrated Dictionary of Gardening: A Practical and Scientific Encyclopedia of Horticulture for Gardeners and Botanists, (in 4 Volumes), which was edited by George Nicholson. This became the basis of the RHS's Dictionary of Gardening. It was founded by Anthony B. Allen and his brother Richard L. Allen. It was published in 1843 by Saxton & Miles in New York City. In 1856 it was taken over by Orange Judd and became a publication of the Orange Judd Company. The publication absorbed several others and was eventually published in Springfield, Massachusetts. Originally monthly it became a weekly publication. A German language edition for immigrants and 5 regional editions were established.[6] Advertisers included cabinet organ, melodeon, and other instrument companies, gelatin and blanc mange brands, cooking tool offerings such as horseradish graters, farm equipment including grist mills, seed and plant businesses, steam engines, wires, watches, washers, trusses, patent companies, cutters, book subscriptions, and Great American Tea Company notices.
