"Hoosier Beauty" to be yotirs, FREE! Read 



An 

 Optimist's Opinion 



I believe in the righteousness of Amer- 

 ica's cause. 



I believe in the fighting qualities of 

 America's men — and women. 



I believe in the service which the florists 

 are rendering the nation in helping America 

 to "Say it with Flowers." 



I believe that each individual reader of 

 Garden Magazine is anxious to further the 

 cause of "Flowers for Every Soldier." 



To bring the attainment of this ideal 

 nearer, I am making this special 



Optimist's Offer 



Every one who orders, before March 1st, 

 1919, flowering plants to the amount of 

 Five Dollars, to be selected from our Free 

 Catalog, will receive a guaranteed to bloom

 pliments of
