E BRING YOU TIDINGS The only peri- 



OF GREAT JOY. SSSL&SS 



rature exclusively devoted to the culture and study 

 of Flowering and Ornamental Plants. This bright and cheery 

 exponent of an always interesting and popular topic still con- 

 tinues to be welcomed with unbounded enthusiasm everywhere. 

 It was brilliant before ; it is radiant now, with its new dress, 

 newer ideas and engaging manners. With the knowledge born 

 of experience, and with the cooperation of a vast clientage of 

 generous and appreciative friends and readers, assisted by a 

 score or more of brilliant and talented correspondents, we shall 

 spare no effort to place SUCCESS WITH FLOWERS in the 

 vanguard of modern journalism in this particular field. 



IT IS WITH PRIDE AND PLEASURE THAT WE CALL 



ATTENTION TO OUR 



LIST OF REGULAR CONTRIBUTORS, 



whose scholarly, happy, and original methods of treating the various sub- 

 jects selected have been a source of so much pleasure and instruction to our 

 vast army of readers. Notably among these are the names of 

 Mrs. M. D. Wellcome, whose clever articles have been so widely 

 jg; ^^ read and so favorably received ; Sarah A. Gibbs, whose genial 



■^g= contributions savor of the delights of the New England home; 



J. I/. Harbour, who writes in such a scholarly and attractive 

 manner that cannot fail to interest and instruct; Charles E. 

 Parnell, whose coherent and scientific methods of treatment 

 have been widely appreciated ; Lennie Greenlee's attractive 

 and readable letters have been much admired; Phebe W. 

 Humphreys contributes the original, valuable and popular fragments entitled "Hybrids," which we propose to 

 incorporate as a permanent feature of SUCCESS ; Mrs. G. T. Drennan promises to furnish a series of articles en- 

 titled " Famous Roses." which will include their histories and cultural treatment— these papers are anticipated with 

 much interest; Sister Gracious, ever bright, cheery, hopeful, engaging and entertaining, will still honor us by 

 her presence; Henry C. Vedder's scholarly efforts have been a source of much profit and interest to our readers; 

 Mrs. H. S. Cummings (Mangold) will continue to favor us with her entertaining notes; Rose Seelye Miller, 

 whose practical and timely hints have been such a mine of wealth to the amateur flower cultivator, will still be 

 included among our valued writers ; Carl Purdy, the well-known bulb collector of California, will give our sub- 

 scribers the benefit of his knowledge and experience in the culture and treatment of Bulbs. Besides these, we have 

 a score or more of valued and talented contributors whose articles are familiar to our readers, but to whom we are 

 not permitted to refer personally on account of limited space. On the whole, a finer or better equipped, class of con- 

 tributors, having a more thorough mental grasp of the subject in general, it would be difficult to find. 



OUR 



premium Prospectus for 1894=== 



We have concluded to discontinue the practice of designating Club Premiums in advance 

 for stated periods, and, instead, have decided to offer plants of the standard varieties and 

 those of conspicuous and sterling merits. These particular offers will be announced in detail 

 in each successive issue of SUCCESS WITH FLOWERS. By this method we shall be able to 

 diversify our premium lists with seasonable offers. The immense stock of desirable plants 

 grown at our establishment here makes this feature possible. We propose dealing with the 

 promoters of clubs and the individual members thereof with the utmost liberality, and hope 

 by this means to secure the hearty cooperation of every one interested in the culture of plants, 

 and shall appreciate and reward all efforts 

 in this direction. SUCCESSWITH 

 FLOWERS is developing wonderful 

 strength and popularity ; the future out- 

 look is most gratifying and encouraging. 

 Will you lend us a helping hand ?
