TH E- TALK- OF-THE- OFFICE- 1 



SETTLED DOWN AT LAST 



After nearly a year of more or less dis- 

 tracting moving, we have now settled our- 

 selves in our various habitations as follows: 



THE NEW YORK OFFICE 



has moved from our old building, 133-137 

 East 16th Street, to our new quarters, a floor 

 in the Tobey Furniture Company's building, 

 11-13 West 3 2d Street. 



Here our friends will find the Advertising 

 Department, representatives of the Whole- 

 sale Book Department, and the Syndicate 

 Department, and through them may be 

 able to make direct connections with Garden 

 City. This office is only about five minutes' 

 walk east from the Pennsylvania Station, and 

 the Pennsylvania Station is only forty min- 

 utes away from our own station here at 

 Garden City. 



IN CHICAGO 



we have moved into the new People's Gas 

 Building, 150 Michigan Avenue, where our 

 Advertising Department is located. The 

 office is in charge of Mr. Edgar G. Criswell. 

 The other departments do no business through 

 the Chicago office. 



IN BOSTON 



we have a fixed abode in the Tremont Build- 

 ing, under the charge of Mr. William J. Neal. 

 Here, also, only the Advertising Department 

 is represented. 



Meanwhile, things at Garden City look 

 better and better; our magazine output 

 exceeds 15,000 a day; and we print and bind 

 more than 5,000 books a day. We have had 

 a wonderful housewarming on May 23d 

 with nearly 1,000 friends to wish us luck. 

 Several thousand friends have visited us at 

 other times, the latchstring is still out, and 

 we hope to have many thousand more before 

 the summer ends. 



THE GARDEN MAGAZINE AND YOUR NEWS- 

 DEALER 



We have constant complaints that people 

 cannot find The Garden Magazine on the 

 news-stands. The American News Company 

 have now put into operation a new plan by 



"To business that we love we rise betime 

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



which dealers all over the country will serve 

 The Garden Magazine to any customer, 

 delivering the house as they do a daily paper. 

 If you prefer you may order it in advance 

 and have it at the news-stand ready for you 

 when publication day arrives. People who 

 do not for any reason wish to subscribe are 

 urged to interview a good news-dealer in their 

 town, call his attention to this notice, and 

 the magazine will be regularly delivered. 



The same thing is true of Country Life in 

 America and The World's Work. 



THREE NEW VOLUMES OF THE GARDEN LIBRARY 



After a very long period of preparation, 

 we have just published and are sending out 

 to our customers the three new volumes which 

 were needed to round out The Garden Library : 



"Vines, and How to Grow Them," by 

 William McCollom. A manual of climbing 

 plants for flower, foliage, and fruit effects, 

 both ornamental and useful, including those 

 shrubs and similar forms that may be used 

 as vines. 



"Chrysanthemums," and How to Grow 

 Them," by I. M. Powell. A complete 

 volume of instruction on the growing of the 

 Queen of Autumn in the garden border, and 

 for specimen plants and blooms under glass. 



"Garden Planning," by W. S. Rogers. 

 Especially designed to help the maker of 

 small gardens, who wants to start properly 

 in fitting his desire to the conditions and 

 situations. 



The books are extremely well illustrated. 

 The price is $1.10 net each. They will be 

 sent to you on approval if you would like to 

 have us do so. 



THE POST OFFICE AND THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



The Post Office Department at Washing- 

 ton has notified us that after July 1st a cer- 

 tain portion of the semi-monthly and monthly 

 magazines will be handled by post freight 

 instead of the post mail service and that this 

 may result in a delay of from three to six days. 



We shall do our best to get our magazines 

 into the mail as early in the month as possible 

 and we hope that our readers will not suffer 

 any inconvenience. 



THE CHILDREN'S LIBRARY OF WORK AND PLAV 



After three years of preparation, the first 

 edition of this set, which we think is absolutely 

 unique, is ready for distribution. The plan 

 of the books is in accord with the present 

 tendency of reading for recreation as well as 

 for education along lines which are helpful 

 and will assist the child to prepare for a useful 

 life. It is a pleasure to say that the mere 

 announcement of the books has created a 

 very broad interest, not only among general 

 readers, but in educational circles, where 

 they have been adopted for school use and 

 approved by the most advanced and careful 

 students of primary education. 



Following are the titles of the volumes: 



Gardening. By Ellen Eddy Shaw. 



Electricity and Its Everyday Uses. By John 

 F. Woodhull, Ph.D. 



Mechanics — Indoors and Out. By Fred 

 T. Hodgson. 



Needlecraft. By Effie Archer Archer. 



Outdoor Sports and Games. By Claude 

 H. Miller. 



Working in Metals. By Charles Conrad 

 Sleffel. 



Carpentry and Woodwork. By Edwin 

 W. Foster. 



Home Decoration. By Charles Franklin 

 Warner, Sc. D. 



Outdoor Work. By Mary Rogers Miller. 



Housekeeping. By Elizabeth Hale Gilman. 



These do not by any means represent the 

 whole idea, but cover the main divisions. 



Fill out this coupon, and we will send you a 

 pamphlet describing the books. They will 

 be ready for delivery about the time this 

 magazine is published.
