 ture of flowers is a fascinating 

 pursuit, yet many persons aban-

 though, in order to do so, it is 

 necessary to give your plants

 to give you a full crcp of fragrance and beauty? Then read and heed the teachings of this great maga- 

 zine. Each number contains thirty-six large pages, printed on fine book paper, and illustrated with 

 half-tone engravings. The articles published are written by persons who know from experience exactly 

 how to treat flowers. The illustrations are made from photographs, which show flowers as they actu- 

 ally are. ,
