Correspondence invited from all persons interested in Flowers. "Write us your experience 

 with plants. 



'HE three numbers of The Floral World which have already appeared have 



1 been very •warmly welcomed, and an increasing interest has been manifested 

 by the growth of its subscription list. The number of approving letters which the 

 editor has received has been so large that the publishers feel greatly encouraged, 

 and have no doubt that the publication has now secured for itself a permanent 

 place in the world of periodicals. 



The American people evidently want a practical and inexpensive magazine de- 

 voted to home flower-growing. The Floral World will continue to be what its 

 first numbers have indicated — a practical magazine for the people. It will publish 

 only articles written by persons who succeed with flowers, and whose experience 

 and advice will help amateurs. It will be published for home flower-growers, and 

 no professional florist or gardener will be permitted to write for it. 



The editor has received many letters from readers, suggesting improvements. 

 He is always glad to receive such friendly letters, giving advice as to how the mag- 

 azine may be made more helpful and valuable to its readers. Some one suggests a 

 floral puzzle department, another a department for children. What do the readers 

 in general think about these ideas? Write and give your views, so that the pub- 

 lishers may know how you look upon the matter. 



Upon the suggestion of many other friends, the editor has decided to limit con- 

 tributions to 200 words. In that space, if you write crisply and to the point, you 

 can tell all about the culture of any plant. Hereafter, then, 200 words will be the 

 limit of contributions. That will improve the magazine, because the shorter the 

 articles the more of them we can publish. 



The Floral World will be published for the benefit of its subscribers, and 

 they can help the management to help them by increasing the subscription list. 

 Send us your own subscription, get others also to subscribe, and do not fail to send 

 us your experience in flower-growing for the help of other readers. Thus you can 

 all become assistant editors. 



The publishers thank the readers of The Floral World for their assistance 

 and good will in the past, and promise to do their very best to deserve it in the 

 future.
