Long-Term Subscriptions — and Why 



A 



CO-OPERATIVE idea, between the subscriber and Publisher, has occured to us, and we wish 

 to bring it before all the readers of our magazines. It is this : 



Long-Term Subscriptions of Two and Three Years 



The advantage to the publisher of doing away with the extensive correspondence (often three 

 or four notices), the sending of back numbers, the removal of a subscriber's name from the list, 

 and cutting new stencils, to restore the name, is obvious. It is good business, we feel to make it 

 worth while for our subscribers to make the subscriptions for two or three years, and having tried 

 it on a small scale, we propose to extend the plan. We have spoken of the advantages to US. 



These are the Advantages to YOU: 



First — You, too, reduce to one-half or one-third the bother of writing a letter and sending remittance. 

 Second — A Saving of money as follows : 



The World's 

 Work 



A two-year subscription for $5.00, instead 

 of $3.00 a year ; or a three-year subscription 

 for $6.00. 



The Garden 

 Magazine 



Country Life A two-year subscription for $6.00, instead 

 in America °f $4.00 a year ; or a three-year subscription 

 * for $8.00. 



A two-year subscription for $2.00, instead of 

 $3.00. The subscription price will be 

 raised to $1.50 per year on February 1st, 

 1910. The offer of The Garden Magazine is particularly favor- 

 able because for these same thirty-six magazines, including as the 

 offer does six double numbers, the cost would be $6.00 

 against $2.00. 



Third — When you take a three-year subscription, you can give one of these years as a present to a 

 friend. A two-year subscription, it is expected, will be sent to one person. 



Replying to the question : Can I change the subscription's address as often as I wish, or transfer it to someone else? We say YES. 



The Advantages of Acting NOW 



If this plan pleases you, act as soon as you can — at any rate, before December 10th. After that, we are often called upon to handle many thousands of 

 subscriptions a day, which means night work, many new, inexperienced people, and sometimes, we regret to say, mistakes.

Warmth On a Cold Landscape 



Evergreens add a warmth to the home grounds in winter that helps 

 mightily toward making things cheerful. It's a literal warmth, too, for nothing 

 makes a more effective windbreak than a grove or hedge of evergreens on the 

 exposed side of the house. 



Such a planting really saves fuel bills, and this protection of the build- 

 ings means that fewer coats of paint are necessary. Hence, every home 

 planting should include at least a few evergreens. 



Rosedale Evergreens are Oft Transplanted 

 Let Us Help Select For Your Needs 



We will help you choose the kinds best suited to your locality and planting plan. If 

 you plant in a limited way, we will gladly submit some helpful ideas. 



While Evergreens are our specialty, our Nursery is stocked with a complete line of 

 Deciduous Trees, Shrubs and Vines, Roses and Bulbs, and choice Fruit Trees. 



Our Catalogue, handsomely illustrated, contains useful suggestions for the planting 

 and care of Trees and Plants. If you are interested in Home Ornamentation, you should 

 get this Book — it's free. Liberal discounts on orders of $50 or more.
