THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



LONG-TERM SUBSCRIPTIONS 



In the October Garden Magazine we pub- 

 lished a more extensive advertisement of what 

 we mean by long-term subscriptions, and why 

 we think them a good thing for both the reader 

 and ourselves. 



Here are the facts: 



It costs us time, money, and trouble to send 

 out renewal notices, to fill orders for back 

 numbers, to take off the name from the list, 

 restore it, and conduct the correspondence. 



Therefore, we offer: 



For The Garden Magazine a three-year sub- 

 scription for $2 instead of $3. The subscription 

 price will be raised to $1.50 a year on February 

 1, 1910. 



For Country Life in America a two-year 

 subscription for $6 instead of $4 a year; or 

 a three-year subscription for $8. 



For The World's Work a two-year sub- 

 scription for $5, instead of $3 per year, and a 

 three-year subscription for $6. 



Any of these subscriptions to any of our mag- 

 azines may be transferred in name or address 

 -at any time during the life of the subscription. 



Further than this: 



If you desire with a three-year subscription, 

 one of these years may be sent to a friend as 

 a gift, but a two-year subscription, we expect, 

 shall be sent to only one person. 



MORE ABOUT THE GARDEN MAGAZINE LONG- 

 TERM OFFER 



This is the only garden magazine published 

 in this country. Its plan is to fill the field 

 completely, and its success leads us to believe 

 that it does its appointed task well. It is not too 

 technical. It is good to look at, and practical. 



On February 1st, its price will be raised from 

 $1 to $1.50 a year. Friends of the house, and 

 of all our magazines are invited to come in for 

 three years by sending us $2 now, which is 

 equal to 66§ cents a year. The magazine 

 sells for 1 5 cents a copy, and two double issues 

 each year, the Spring and Fall Planting Num- 

 bers for 25 cents, so that, figured up at the"se 

 prices, our friends who act now will get $6 

 worth for $2. 



If you want to avail yourself of this offer, 

 please DO SO NOW, and don't wait until 

 we are working nights in December. 



A GUIDE TO GOOD BOOKS 



We have just completed an interesting 

 brochure of 196 pages containing a complete 

 list of all the publications of Doubleday, Page 

 & Company, including those formerly issued 

 by the McClure Company. This is not a bare 

 list of titles and authors, but each book is 

 clearly and accurately described. You will 

 find many books here which you will want to 

 see. May we send this catalogue to you ? 



NOVEMBER BOOKS 



This is a bare enumeration of the titles. 

 Other announcements printed elsewhere in 

 this magazine:

 A. Radclyffe Dugmore.

THE BOOK REVIEW PRIZES 



The reviews of Mrs. Humphry Ward's novel 

 "Marriage a la Mode," submitted for our
