TWO DOLLftRS fl YEAR. 



With this number, the first of VoUmic 

 3, the subscription price of Gardening is 

 increased to $2.00 a year We beUeve all 

 our readers will agree with us thai this 

 is still a moderate price for such a high 

 class journal as Gardening, and that 

 after publishing the paper for two j-ears 

 at a merely nominal price to secure for it 

 at once the wide circulation to which its 

 merit en' itled it, we are now warranted 

 in increasing the price to a figure that 

 will allow a small profit to the publishers. 



We will still allow a special rate where 

 a subscriber sends in a new name with 

 his own. making the price $3.00 for the 

 two, so that where ordered in combina- 

 tion in this way the price for each will be 

 onlv $1.50. Cliibs of more than two may 

 be f rnied on the same basis, namely 

 $1.50 for each yearly subscription Read- 

 ers who feel that Gardening has be( n 

 worth to them "many times the subscrip- 

 tion price," as a large number have 

 written us, can do us no greater favor 

 than to get up a club among their friends 

 interested m gardening, and at the same 

 time f ecure a good i ash return for their 

 trouble.
