THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



December, 1913 



"To business that we love we rise betime 



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



The Seven Seas Edition of Kipling 



WHAT would be the value of an edition 

 of Thackeray, of Dickens, of Scott, or 

 of any great writer of the last genera- 

 tion, which was limited to 1050 sets, and 

 revised and arranged just as the writer wished 

 it to be — a definitive edition signed with 

 his own pen? 



Such is The Seven Seas Edition of the Works 

 of Rudyard Kipling now begun, and to be com- 

 pleted in 23 volumes. It will never be less valu- 

 able, it will always be more valuable. Two 

 volumes will be published every other month, 

 and for $6.00 a month you can add to your 

 library a set which will always be a joyful 

 possession and will be priceless in time. 



Doubleday, Page & Company will send you 

 a descriptive circular if you would like to have 

 it. 



Christmas Books 



Happily, books to be good Christmas pre- 

 sents no longer have to be the gaudy and often 

 flimsy volumes which they once were, and 

 this year Doubleday, Page & Co. believe that 

 their new books (we admit we may be partial) 

 are better, more interesting books than ever 

 before as a whole, and we can't help feeling 

 some justification for this statement, for the 

 reason that the sales are almost twice as large 

 as last year. 



May we suggest that you look at these books 

 at your local bookseller's shop? We have 

 mentioned only those of this fall season and 

 we have listed them alphabetically by authors 

 and attempted no description because we hope 

 you will look at the books themselves. If 

 you can't find them at your local bookseller's, 

 we will send any or all on approval for your 

 inspection, so really every post-office is our 

 branch bookstore. All that we ask is that 

 you should pay the forwarding charge. If 

 you return the books, we will pay the return 

 charge. We trust that you will think this 

 proposition fair.

250,000 Customers 



We are constantly in touch with a quarter 

 of a million people who buy our publications. 

 As things go now, this is not a great number, 

 but it is growing. 



May we add your name to the list by send- 

 ing you a catalogue? There is this to be said: 

 no one need ever be dissatisfied with a Double- 

 day-Page bargain. If anything that you get 

 from Garden City is unsatisfactory or not to 

 your liking, send it back. 



The World's Work 



This magazine has never had quite so suc- 

 cessful a year (notwithstanding the fact that 

 magazine conditions have not been a bed of 

 roses in 1913) and we think it is because the 

 World's Work has come closer to present- 

 ing to its readers what they want — a vivid 

 picture and suggestive comment upon the 

 affairs of our own day — the most interesting 

 (at least to most of us) of any period in the 

 world's history. 



A most suggestive and important series is 

 now running under the title, " Swift and Cheap 

 Justice," a careful account of the present 

 absurd conditions which make it impossible 

 to secure in this country justice which shall 

 be either reasonably swift or reasonably 

 cheap. More than this, the author, Mr. 

 George W. Alger, makes constructive sug- 

 gestions of value and importance. 



Do you get the World's Work? We will 

 send a three months' trial subscription for 50 

 cents to introduce you to a very unusual and 

 novel periodical.
