A LAST NOTICE 
HIS note will reach our readers before the 
end of January and this is the last time we 
shall mention two publications which are es- 
pecially appropriate to this season. 
COUNTRY LIFE CALENDAR 
We have already sold many thousands, and 
the last of them, mounted and boxed, are avail- 
able either for $1 each (for which they will be 
sent postpaid), or given (free) fora new sub- 
scriber to Country Life in America or The 
Garden Magazine-Farming. ‘The Calendar must 
be asked for when the subscription is sent. 
You can have the Calendar for yourself and 
SE aici ae a | 
use the magazine for a gift, if you choose— 
and a magazine is an ever-recurring reminder 
of your thought.

GARDEN AND FARMING ALMANAC FOR 1908 
This most helpful and necessary book will be 
found to be of inestimable value to anyone who 
lives in the country and wishes to have under 
his hand a book which will answer the thousand- 
and-one questions which arise every day in a 
country home. It is a new sort of publication 
and not an advertising scheme; the information 
GARDENGFARM 
ALMANAC 
given is from the most competent authorities 
that we could secure and the advice is disin- 
terested. Illustrated and almost twice as large 
as last year. The whole edition of last year’s 
Almanac was sold out before February rst, 
and after that a good many people discovered 
that they wanted it. Price 25c. postpaid. 
MISS GLASGOW’S NEW NOVEL 
“THE ANCIENT LAW” 
About once in two years we issue a new novel 
by Miss Glasgow. Such books as she pro- 
duces are the result only of conscientious work, 
and her novels have that real distinction of style 
and character which has made George Eliot’s 
novels live; and Miss Glasgow’s audience 
extends around the world where English is 
spoken. In England, in Australia, in Canada, 
as well as in the United States, her admirers 
have steadily grown in number, and it is a pleas- 
ant thing to know that such really good books 
find an intelligent and increasing appreciation.

Jjc¥e 
The scene of the new story is in Virginia 
and the people in it are the types of characters 
which made “The Voice of the People,” ‘The 
Deliverance,” and “The Battleground” so popu- 
lar. “The Ancient Law’ will be ready about the 
time this note appears in print. It has not been 
published in serial form and will come to readers 
as an absolutely new production. Indeed, it was 
finished only on December 15th, and quick 
work was necessary to prepare the large editions 
for publication in January. 
GARDEN BASKETS 
A good many of these baskets were used for 
Christmas presents. They are quite unique 
in this country, but have been sold very widely 
in England, where everyone has and loves a gar- 
den. We sell them for cost because they are 
supplied in connection with a full year’s sub- 
scription to Country Life in America and even 
then the price to our friends is not much 
more than half that charged for the imported 
baskets—and they are better adapted to 
American needs. Price and particulars on 
request, including a year’s subscription to The 
Garden Magazine-Farming or Country Lije in 
America. 
" THE COMPLETE NATURE LIBRARY 
For ten years we have been working on this 
set of books. It has been a long, hard, and 
expensive task. We shall publish this spring 
the fifteenth volume, in Miss Rogers’s book on’ 
Shells and Seashore Studies. The set is de- 
livered at once for you to use while paying for 
it. Let us send you particulars. A postal 
brings the information.
