"To business that we love we rise betime 

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



To Enlarge The Garden Magazine Family 



Experience has shown us that a man or woman who really loves a garden has an enthusiasm which can be relied upon to communicate 

 itself to others. 



The readers of THE GARDEN MAGAZINE are in a position to do this periodical a great service and we are frank to ask you to do it. 

 We have made a book exclusively for readers of THE GARDEN MAGAZINE, and it is not sold separately, entitled:
