SUCCESS WITH FLOWERS 



THE ONLY MAGAZINE ENTIRELY DE VOTED TO FLOR ICULTURE— THIRTY-TWO PAGES, MAGAZWESIZE, MONTHLY 



...Premiums of Surpassing Beauty for 1898... 



Never since its inception has Success -with Flowers enjoyed greater prosperity than that which marked its progress during 

 tbe past year. To-day, when this is written (Dec. 13th), one maiJ alone brought in 752 yearly subscriptions, surely a grand showing, 

 due iu a large measure to the appreciation of thousands of good folks throughout the whole reading world, who have pushed it 

 steadily to the front. During the year 1898 we propose to make Success belter and brighter in every way. It will stick strictly to 

 its text— the only periodical entirely devoted to floriculture— believing it better to treat this topic thoroughly than a dozen 

 subjects poorly. The gospel it has always taught— to love and cultivate flowers— will be preached with even greater zest during 

 1898. It will tell you how to grow them successfully. Its teaching, if followed, makes flower growing easy. In every home in 

 the land where flowers are cherished there Success with Flowers should be found. 



The magnificent premiums for this year surpass anything we have ever offered. Just glance over thelistof fifteen lovely flowers 

 given free with each subscription. See our colored-plate illustration of them. Why, they represent a whole flower garden them- 

 selves ! Buv them separately, and they will cost you not less than $2.00. Will you be the winner of the grand $400 Upright Piano ? 

 A elub of 220 subscribers won the $100 prize offered last Fall for the largest number of subscribers.
