 esting assortment of articles on floriculture. Allied topics are likewise 

 treated in a practical and readable manner. The only floral journal in 

 America of general circulation which is not issued as a "house organ" of 

 some firm of florists, HOME AND FLOWERS occupies exclusively a field 

 which offers opportunities for the publication of a vast amount of matter 

 which is alike interesting and instructive. Each number contains from 

 twenty-eight to forty-four large pages, printed on fine book paper, and 

 handsomely illustrated with half-tone engravings, the reproductions of 

 photographs which show flowers as they actually appear. The mission of 

 flowers is to make the world brighter and better. The mission of this 

 magazine is to interest the people of America in flowers. It is edited in 

 the belief that the best that is in mankind may be brought out through the 

 fragrant presence of flowers in the daily environment of life — that flowers 

 in the home will create the love of beauty in which lies the hope of the race. 

 It seeks first to bring about the culture of flowers in every home, and then 

 to develop the spirit of public beauty and love of outdoor art.
