To Readers of The Garden Magazine 



THIS winter the subscription price of The Garden Magazine 

 — Farming will be increased to $1.50, and the Mag- 

 zine will be enlarged and improved, of which particulars will 

 be given in due time. 



To Present Subscribers— Three Years for $2.00 



C We are willing to keep our present friends and readers on 

 the list on a basis even more favorable than before, and we offer 

 to send the magazine to you for three years for $2.00, if you 

 send your subscription now. 



The Reason for Long Term Subscriptions 



C. Every year about this time, we are obliged to send out hun- 

 dreds of thousands of renewal notices; the returns from these 

 notices straggle in for many months. We are not only put to 

 the cost of preparing, addressing, printing and mailing all these 

 letters, but the subscriber's name must be removed from our 

 lists, reinstated when the renewal is received, back numbers 

 sent when we have them — often the absence of any stock of the 

 subscription involves a long correspondence — and, last of all, 

 we suffer the great disadvantage of pressing a year's work into 

 a few hectic months. 



Profitable Co-operation 



C. This year we are going into a campaign with all our magazines 

 for long term subscriptions, turning over to our readers the money 



it costs us to go through this long and tedious renewal campaign. 

 CLFor a remittance of $2.00, now, you may secure what would 

 cost you (if you continued to be a reader of The Garden Mag- 

 azine, which we very greatly hope you will) $4.00 — a dividend 

 of 50 per cent, on your investment. $2.00 sent now will bring 

 The Garden Magazine to you for three full years, thirty-six 

 issues, of which six will be double (25 cent) numbers. 

 C Please consider this matter, and let us hear if you approve. 

 Yours very truly,
