A Brilliant Year. 



We cannot do better than devote this small space to give 

 a ghmpse of the year we have planned for our Floral Monthly, 

 Success with Flowers. Mr. Eben E. Re.xford, so widely 

 known as the floral editor of the Ladies' Home Journal, will 

 write exclusively for SUCCESS WITH Flowers, outside of the 

 Journal. Mr. James H. Bancroft will continue his valuable 

 feature, " From a Gardener's Note Book," full of brightideas. 

 Mary D. Wellcome will give the full family history of a 

 different class of plants in each number. Mr. F. Schuyler 

 Mathews, the eminent artist, will contribute twelve articles 

 on the artistic arrangement of plants and flowers. Mrs. 

 Cummings f" Marigold") will give Practical Lessons in Flori- 

 culture. Mr. Charles L. Burr's columnof bright paragraphs 

 will attract. Anna Lyman ("Sister Gracious") will tell all 



about Window and Veranda Gardening. Mr. Theodore H. 

 Mack will tell something new in " The Coming Rose." 



These regular contributors will be supplemented with a 

 host of the best floral writers in the land. Every part of 

 our country is represented: Sarah A. Gibbs, Vermont; 

 Messrs. Par'nell and Powell, of New York ; L. S. Greenlie, 

 South Carolina; John Smith, Florida; Mrs. Humphreys, 

 Pennsylvania; Mrs. Hills, Ohio; Stata B. Hartz, Illinois; 

 D. M. Farnsworth, Michigan, etc., etc. 



As a publication, SUCCESS WITH FLOWERS stands alone. 

 There is nothing like it now published. It is the regular 

 magazine size, entirely devoted to Floriculture, carefully 

 edited, elegantly printed on fine paper, thirty-two pages 

 and cover.
