How Our Book i Premiums Can be Obtan 



The plan we adopted several years ago, of giving Mr. Peter Henderson's Books .. 

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

 shall continue the practice on a more extensive scale than ever, we ask our patrons care- 

 ful consideration to the terms detailed below, by which these different books may be ob- 

 tained. Mr. Henderson's last production, ''Garden and Farm Topics," as will be seen, can 

 be had on orders of SiO and upward, while for orders of S^o and upward, the purchaser 

 may select either " Gardening- for Profit" " Practical Floriculture," or " Gardening for 

 Pleasure." 



While the selling price of these four works is $1.50 each, we ourselves publish only 

 one of them, " Garden and Farm Topics" which enables us to offer it as a premium on a 

 smaller order. We make this statement to explain, what might otherwise appear contra- 

 dictory. In the information given, these various books do not conflict with each other, as 

 most of our costumers perhaps know. Here are the conditions : On all orders from this 

 catalogue to the amount of 85 an d upward (in one order) we will include, without charge, 

 a copy of Peter Henderson's new book, " Garden and Farm Topics, " a work of 250 pages, 

 handsomely bound in cloth, and containing an excellent portrait on steel of the author. 

 The subjects this book embrace will be found below. When the order is to the extent of 

 $20 and upward, purchasers may choose any one of Mr. Henderson's three books, " Gar- 

 dening for Profit, " " Practical Floriculture, " or " Gardening for Pleasure, " the price of 

 which is Si-50 each; and when the order amounts to $40 and upward, we will send the 

 buyer his choice of any two of the above four books, or, instead, a copy of our late work, 

 "Henderson s Handbook of Plants," the value of which is $3.00, but "t is understood that 

 any book or books desired must be selected at the time of ordering. This last condition is 

 imperative, and under no circumstances can we deviate from it ; and customers must not be 

 disappointed if we fail to honor subsequent demands made upon us for the books as Pre- 

 miums.
