THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



December, 1907 



"To business that we love we rise betime 

 And go to 't with delight." — A?Uo7iy and Cleopatra 



ADVANTAGES OF PROMPTNESS 



During the next sixty days three-quarters of 

 all the subscriptions received for a year are 

 put on our books. It means night work for 

 scores of our people, and it will be a splendid 

 help if the readers of The Garden Magazine 

 will do us the great favor of sending their 

 subscriptions early — which means at once. 



We want to give you a very attractive 

 offer — a three years' subscription for the 

 price of two. Send $2 now; and be relieved 

 of all worry and bother about renewing 

 your subscription each year. You save us 

 the expense of taking your name off our 

 list and putting it back again — so you are 

 entitled to all we save.

This splendid calendar, four pages, hand- 

 somely mounted, in an attractive box, at 

 bookstores $1, or sent prepaid for that 

 amount. 



CHRISTMAS BOOK SHOPPING 



If you care to have us do so, we will send 

 you at once our new book catalogue, and will 

 send you the books for examination if you 

 fail to find them in your bookstore. The 

 newest fall books are advertised in other 

 pages of this magazine. 



FOR THE GARDEN LOVER 



We have just had prepared a brand- 

 new garden basket — something not usually 

 obtainable, or if found in the stores, sold 

 generally at very high prices. By having 

 them prepared in quantities we can offer 

 them in connection with our magazines at 

 a sum which makes them available for 

 Christmas presents. 



Of particular interest are these garden 

 baskets. These have had a great vogue in 

 England, and have been imported and sold 

 at much more than we ask. Full details 

 will be sent on request. 



THE FIVE-DOLLAR BILL CLUB 



The plan of offering a great reduction to a 

 reader who will take all three of Doubleday, 

 Page & Company's magazines has proved 

 most popular. 



The Garden Magazine-Farming, Country 

 Life in America, and The World's Work, 

 which now cost $9.65 if purchased separ- 

 ately, month by month, will be supplied 

 for a $5 bill if this offer is specially referred 

 to when the order is sent. 



CASH DISCOUNT FOR LONG TERM 

 SUBSCRIPTIONS 



One of the great expenses of magazine 

 publication is securing renewals year after 

 year. To take names off the books, and 

 put them on again, with the necessary corre- 

 spondence, is a task of magnitude and cost. 

 We are gradually inducing our readers to 

 accept better terms for long-term subscrip- 

 tions, and here are our offers for our other 

 magazines : 



Country Lije in America, $4 a year, $8 for 

 three years. 



The World's Work, $3 a year, $6 for 

 three years. 



Here are cash discounts tempting to the 



business-like buyer. Long term subscriptions 

 are so great a convenience to us that they 

 are worth the large concessions in cash 

 discounts that we offer to secure them. 



We have just printed a little booklet 

 which describes our various magazines and 

 special offers for the season — we will send it 

 very gladly at your request — and will send 

 an extra copy to a friend if you desire. 



YOU ARE INVITED 



to visit our Library Salesroom, where all our 

 books, pictures, and magazines can be 



THE SALESROOM LIBRARY 



examined at your leisure. The address is 

 133 East 16th Street, between Third and 

 Fourth Avenues, New York City. 



THE NATURE LIBRARY 



On January 1st we shall be obliged 

 slightly to raise the price of the Nature 

 Library. We also have some new plans for 

 selling and if you are one of the thousands 

 who expect to buy some day write to us for 

 particulars.
