THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



"To business that we love we rise betime 

 And go to 't with delight." — Antony and Cleopatra 



At the New Address, Garden City, Long Island, N. Y. 



Since the last Talk of the Ofifice was written 

 we have set up, electrotyped, printed and 

 bound the November numbers of our maga- 

 zines. 



If our friends and customers could see the 

 work of finishing the building, installing 

 machinery, grading the grounds, and building ■ 

 roads all being carried on at one time, we 

 think they would not be too critical of the 

 work turned out during this period. 



The month of October was a severe strain 

 on everybody. The month of November, we 

 hope and believe wUl see us comfortably 

 settled with the new machinery in place and 

 the whole shop running smoothly. 



We repeat our invitation to all our custo- 

 mers to come and see us. There are frequent 

 trains from the Pennsylvania Station at 33d 

 St., and from Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, 

 connecting with the subway down-town. 



THE president's BOOK 



Does the general reader realize what a 

 new thing it is for the President of the United 

 States to prepare and send out a book giving 

 his views on subjects of vital importance to 

 our voters? This is what President Taft 

 has done in his "Presidential Addresses and 

 State Papers" which we have just pubHshed. 



To understand the situation in politics 

 every good American citizen who is not 

 guided by hearsay or swayed by sensational 

 newspapers, or who forms his judgment on 

 current gossip owes it to himself to read this 

 book which President Taft has compiled, 

 revised and put in permanent form. It is 

 not a dull book, as volumes of speeches have 

 the reputation of being. It is a statement 

 of the country's business affairs for the year 

 ending March, 1910, and is a striking ex- 

 ample of the way President Taft goes quietly 

 and frankly to the people with a frank state- 

 ment of the facts about their government. 

 One reader said of it: 



"This book has been an eye-opener to me. 

 I thought I had followed the events here put 

 forth in the newspapers. I find that the 

 papers did not give me all the facts or in the 



hurry of daily reading I missed the points 

 which are most important in fixing one's 

 judgment. I never read a book of this sort 

 before because I thought it would be deadly 

 dull — I see I made a mistake." 



Thinking people, will find here the Admin- 

 istration's statement of what its position 

 is on : — 



The Tariff 



The Railroads 



The Great Corporations 

 ■ Conservation 



Alaska 



The Supreme Court 



Panama 



Income and Corporation Tax 



The Merchant Marine 



The Development of the South 



Federal Economy and Expenses 



The Waterways 



The Philippines, etc., etc., etc., put suc- 

 cinctly after careful consideration and study. 

 Any bookseller has it on sale. Postpaid $2.00. 



BOOKSHOP, PENNSYLVANIA STATION 



Just about the time these magazines are 

 reaching our customers the rest of the Pennsyl- 

 vania Station will be open to the public, and 

 Doubleday, Page & Co.'s bookstore in 

 the concourse we hope will be found a pleasant 

 place to look over all the new books as well as 

 our magazines and pictures. Copies of every 

 book we publish will be obtainable in this 

 shop. Our readers are invited to call when-, 

 ever they are in or near the Station. 



COUNTRY LIFE TWICE A MONTH 



The November mid-monthly issue of Coun- 

 try Life in America is now ready. We have 

 spoken so often of this plan that we hope the 

 readers of The Garden Magazine will look 

 forward to this issue and buy it from the 

 news-stands. It is devoted to the inside of 

 the country house, and the Consulting Editor 

 is Mr. Louis C. Tiffany. Here are some of 

 the subjects that are covered: 



The Gospel of Good Taste, Louis C. Tiffany. 



How to Buy Furniture, Francis A. Collins. 



Window Curtains and Draperies, Dorothy 

 Tuke Priestman. 



The Power of Color in the Home, Frank 

 Alvah Parsons. 



A Home-made House and Furniture, Edwin- 

 Makepeace. 



A Stencilled House, Harriet Joor. 

 etc., etc., etc. 



The price of the magazine on the first of 

 the month and the mid-month number has 

 been reduced to 20 cents a copy, and 24 issues 

 are given for $4.00 instead of twelve issues as 

 heretofore. 



THE GARDEN AND FARM ALMANAC FOR IQII 



The 191 1 issue of the Almanac is just com- 

 ing from the press. We think it is the best 

 that has been published and it is revised and 

 corrected up to date and many new features 

 have been added, including: 



Who 's Who in Dogs, Who 's Who in Poultry, 

 and several new Planting Tables. 



The price is 25 cents. Last year we sold 

 out every copy and we expect to do the same 

 this year although we are printing more 

 copies. It may be ordered through your book 

 dealer, or will be sent post-paid for 25 cents. 



SUBSCRIPTION CATALOGUE 



Our subscription catalogue has just come 

 from the press. In it are given the names 

 and prices of all the magazines and we have 

 gone into the business of furnishing any 

 magazine to our customers in connection with 

 our own magazines or those of any other 

 publisher. We want to do the best we can 

 and we hope our friends will write to us when- 

 ever they need magazines of any description. 

 We guarantee prompt and careful service 

 which is important at this time of the year. 



O. henry's last TALE IN SHORT STORIES 



(JANUARY) 



We may say, in passing, that the current 

 "Short Stories" contains the last story 

 written by the late O. Henry, entitled: 

 "A Christmas Story." Every bookseller in 

 the country has "Short Stories." The sub- 

 scription price is $1.50 a year.
