THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



THE-TALKOF-THE -OFFICE 



PUSHING IT ALONG 



HERE is a reproduction of a new kind of 

 coin card which we have invented to 

 help extend the fame and circulation of The 

 Garden Magazine, which has just about 

 doubled since the first (February) number — 

 a remarkable record. A good mang people 

 have written to us that The Garden Maga- 

 zine is exactly the magazine that they have 

 been waiting for — naturally there must be 

 many tens of thousands more who would be 

 just as interested if they but knew of its 

 existence — therefore this 

 coin card. 



We will send as many 

 as desired to any reader 

 who will be good enough to 

 hand them to his friends; 

 and we particularly ask 

 dealers in any kind of 

 garden goods, seeds, imple- 

 ments, plants, flowers, etc., 

 to let us supply the cards 

 in quantities to be handed 

 to customers or placed in 

 packages. Our excuse 

 for asking this favor is that 

 the sale of The Garden 

 Magazine is making 

 thousands of new garden 

 enthusiasts every month, 

 and this is the season to 

 push; the spring fever of 

 every man needs this maga- 

 zine not as an antidote but 

 to inspire and exhilarate.

 that number next month. It would give 

 us pleasure if our friends in the trade, who 

 are willing to try the same experiment, 

 would write us for particulars.

 The preparation of this book has been 

 more of an undertaking than we anticipated. 

 It has taken a full year to write, illustrate, set, 

 and print, and it is now ready. A full page 

 advertisement is printed elsewhere in this 

 number. It costs §2. 00, and will repay 

 this investment in the first month of its 

 possession. 



ROSES, AND HOW TO GROW THEM 



This monograph, ready in May, will be 

 sent postpaid for $1.10. It is the first of 

 the attractive volumes of 

 The Garden Library. 



THE WORLD'S WORK 



for May has one article at 

 least which every one will 

 be interested in just at 

 this time — the story of an 

 investigation made by The 

 World's Work of the fight 

 between Kansas and the 

 Standard O i 1 Company. 

 This is a dramatic episode 

 following the State's experi- 

 ment in making twine in 

 competition with the twine 

 trust. In the same number 

 appears a character study 

 of Mr. H. H. Rogers, 

 about whom so much has 

 been written and so little 

 is actually known. A live 

 magazine whose business 

 has expanded near!)' 40 

 per cent, in the year ending 

 February 1, 1905. 



COUNTRY LIFE LN AMERICA 



Our readers will, we are sure, be interested 

 to know of the great success of The Garden 

 Magazine's older sister. The last two 

 numbers have been the biggest and best in its 

 history. In a few years the size has doubled, 

 and the circulation has doubled as well; and 

 we believe its influence has doubled. Its field 

 covers all out-of-doors, and its illustrations 

 are superb. We have never used sample 

 copies in any of our magazine propaganda 

 except upon a special occasion like this. 

 We ask the readers to fill out coupon, and 

 we will send a recent number with our 

 compliments. This offer must be especially 

 mentioned if the coupon is not used.
