Ho! All Ye Garden Lovers! 

 Here's Good News!! 



SUMMER with its wonderful growth has 

 passed ; the season of ripening and of 

 harvest is ended ; the awakening of spring 

 is still a long way off. For many weeks the 

 earth will lie sleeping, like the woodchuck and 

 the bear, and the garden will be a place of 

 desolation. 



But for true garden lovers winter need not 

 be a joyless time. You can make your own 

 summer in the greenhouse and in your sunny win- 

 dow, while even out-of-doors there is a certain sort of gardening you may do and much pleasure still to be had. 

 Of course, you know all this, but perhaps we can suggest new ways and means. Winter-time gar- 

 dening offers less opportunity for variety than gardening in summer ; but there are many winter joys 

 that garden enthusiasts have discovered, and these we want to tell you about in

Now for some mathematics. 



If you bought our Christmas Annual at a news stand you paid 50 

 cents for it. The Garden Manual will also be a double number — 50 

 cents. We publish three 50-cent numbers each year; the other num- 

 bers cost 25 cents each. Country Life in America is published twice 

 a month and costs $4 for a year's subscription, or an average of 16% 

 cents per copy. The average news stand price is 28 cents per copy. 

 Why not have the magazine sent to you regularly and save nj<3 

 cents on every cop}' ? 



But we can do even better than that. We have combination 

 arrangements with other magazines that will reduce the cost of this 

 expensive magazine to about the price of your Sunday paper. We 

 will send full particulars on request.
