THE CAL. AGRICULTURIST PUB. CO. 



ANNOUNCE TO SUBSCRIBERS OF THE "AGRI- 

 CULTURIST" that they havi^ made arrauge- 

 meiits whereby they can supply almost any desirable 

 book published upon any subject, at publishers' 

 prices, postpaid, upon receipt of its jirice. People 

 living in the couutry. away from book stores, have ex- 

 perieuced difficulty in getting what books they want 

 at any price, and are frequently imposed uj^on when 

 they do (i^iet books. Now, we propose to remedy this 

 matter eutirely. and without further trouble to our 

 patrons than the sending of their orders, accompanied 

 with the cash, to select the book they want, and send 

 it to them at publishers' own price, free of other costs. 

 <.)i]r arrangements are fully jjerfected, and we mean 

 l.uisiucBS ! We shall continue our Catalogue of good 

 books from time to time, adding the most desirable 

 books iiuldished. 



IMPORTANT TO SUBSCRIBERS. 



We have made further arrangements sv that we can 

 offer PREMIUMS OF BOOKS for every prepaid subscrip- 

 tion, to old and new subsciibers alike ; and to every 

 person who solicits svibscriptions we give extra i)remi- 

 ums of his owu choosing. Our premium rates are as 

 f<dlows: I'pon each $1,50 subscription, prepaid for 

 1876, we credit to account of subscriber r>0 cents reck- 

 oned in his favor iipon an order for books to the 

 amount of S2. In other v ords, after paying for 1876, 

 upon receiving an order for any book or books at any 

 time worth $2, only $1.50 in coin need be sent. This, 

 added to the 50 cents to his credit, will pay for the 

 books. Persons who, at the time of paying their sub- 

 scriptions do not order books, or who order but a part 

 of what they want at once, will be entitled to the 

 benefits of our premiums and reductions whenever 

 they choose to take advantage of it, at any time during 

 the continuance of thtir Subscriptions. 



TO SOLICITORS. 



The agent sending us four subscriptions with $6 

 (the bare subscription price), will be entitled to $2 

 worth of books, his own choice, without further 

 .emittance. This gives every young man or woman 

 a chance to get all the reading they want without 

 COST, and to the subscriber a chance to get books 

 BELOW COST. We are sure that no better opportunity 

 was ever offered to the public on this coast to obtain 

 gciod reading. The Agriculturist, greatly improved 

 for 1876, will be worth more than the subscription 

 price, which is within the reach of every one's means, 

 and our arrangements of giving premiimis is such as 

 to be sure to please and satisfy everybody, whether 

 young or old, rich or poor. We are determined that 

 the Agriculturist shall reach every home on the 

 Pacific Slope, and while we propose to be liberal to- 

 wards all of our subscribers, we hope to be favored by 

 the eft'orts and good will of each and every reader of 

 good books, and of the California Agriculturist.
