HOW TO OBTAIN OUR BOOK PREMIUMS. 



Our plan of giving Mr Peter Henderson's bonk-; to customers as 

 Premiums on orders, has, we think, been mutually satisfactory ; and 

 as we shall continue the practice, we ask our patrons careful considera- 

 tion to the terms detailed below, by which these different books may 

 be obtained. Mr. Henderson's last production, 'Gardtn and Fan 

 Topics," as will be seen, can be had on orders of $5 mnl upward, while 

 for orders of $10 and upward the purchaser may select either "Gard\ n- 

 ingfor Profit," "Practical Floriculture," or "Gardening for Pleasure." 

 While the selling price of these four works is Si. 50 each, we our- 

 selves publish only one of them, "Garden and frnm Topics," which 

 enables us to offer it as a premium on a smaller order. We make this 

 statement to explain what might Otherwise appear anomalous. In 

 the information given, these various books do not conflict wtth each 

 other, as a glance at the list of contents on the last pages of our cata- 

 logue for 1884 will show Here are the conditions : On all orders 

 from this circular to the amount of $5 and upward (in one ordert we 

 will include, without charge, a copy of Peter Henderson's new book, 

 i, n and Farm Topics," a work of 250 pages, handsomely bound 

 ii cloth, and containing an excellent portrait on steel of the author. 

 The subjects this book embrace will be found below. AVhen the 

 order is to the extent of $10 and upward, purchasers may choose any 

 one of Mr. Henderson's three books, "Gardening for Profit." ■-l i i<i<-- 

 fical Floriculture," or "Gardening for Pleasure," the price of which is 

 Si. 51) each : and when the order amounts to $20 and upward, we will 

 send the buyer his choice of any two of the above four books, or, in- 

 stead, a copy of our hue work. "H - Handbook of Plants," tin- 

 value of which is $3, but it is understood that any book or books 

 desired /<< led at tin time <>f o,->/, r ; n<j. Tliis last condition is 

 imperative, and under no circumstances can we deriaU from it ; and 

 customers must not be disappointed if we fail to honor subsequent 

 demands made upon us for the books as Premiums.
