THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



THE- TALK- OF- THE - OFFICE 



CHRISTMAS LISTS 



It's a pity, of course, to have to consider 

 money at Christmas time, and to arrange 

 this list of possible Christmas presents by 

 their cost may seem materialistic, but possibly 

 very convenient as well. Of course this selec- 

 tion is so incomplete that we would like to 

 send a catalogue if you are willing to look at it 

 during this busy season. Still, "stay at home" 

 shopping has its advantages. 



We could descant for a year and a day on 

 reasons why books, magazines, and pictures 

 make better presents than more perishing 

 things, but we fear that our motives might 

 be misunderstood, and we will let it go with 

 the statement that the things mentioned 

 below are worthy of Christmas giving, and 

 that we will take any of them back if you do 

 not agree with our judgment. 



The books are all for sale by booksellers 

 everywhere, or they will always be sent on 

 approval by Doubleday, Page & Co., Garden 

 City, Long Island. N. Y. 



Last year at this time the Doubleday-Page 

 Art Company was selling a wide list of im- 

 ported photogravures, but the raising of the 

 price by the English publishers who supplied 

 them to us would increase the price to our 

 customers 200 per cent or more, so we aban- 

 doned the business. The selection is not 

 complete, but we will supply those remaining 

 at such low prices that it will pay you to send 

 for a beautiful little catalogue which shows 

 the stock available.

 these magazine lists.
