THEY LIKE THE FLORAL WORLD. 



I love our little magazine, The 

 Floral World. It is like a missionary 

 away down here in our home. What 

 a nice little present it is to sena to a 

 friend or relative! In this way we can 

 help our editor and also our friends. 

 Surely it will be like leaven in many a 

 home. The flower pictures in our last 

 (December) number are very nice. I 

 hope we can have a little coupon and 

 not have to cut our magazine — also 

 that our highest prize will be $5, so 

 that more of our contributors will get 

 a prize. It is hard to decide the best. 

 All are good and deserving. 



Arizona. Mrs. M. J. Hopps. 



I like the magazine very much. One 

 of its best points is that on© can feel 

 at home when reading it, knowing that 

 it is written by amateurs and not by 

 regular florists who stand off and tell 

 us we can not do so and so, and must 

 put up with such and such plants. By 

 our own experience, and by that of 

 other amateurs, we learn that by the 

 right treatment we can grow almost 

 any plant. 



Ohio. Annie B. Calland. 



Not long ago I received a number of 

 your magazine as a sample copy. I 

 was so delighted with it that I imme- 

 diately sent in my subscription for one 

 year. The articles are short and in- 

 teresting, and just what busy flower 

 workers need. 



Pennsylvania. Mrs. T. S. Calhoon. 



I have seen only two issues of 

 The Floral World, but I want to say 

 right here that never in my life have I 

 received so much for such a small ex- 

 penditure. It is an invaluable fund of 

 condensed information. 



Mrs. Thomas B. Dorset. 

 California. 



To say I am pleased with the maga- 

 zine does not express it. I see a steady 

 improvement. I especially congratu- 

 late you on your unique method of 

 offering prizes. 



Louisiana. Mrs. W. N. White. 



The Floral World is first class, brim- 

 ful of flower lore, interesting and prac- 

 tical. Its visits are always eagerly 

 looked for. Let us speak a good word 

 for it to all our friends. 



Nebraska. Harriet W. Leighton. 



The Floral World is fine. With its 

 low price and being exclusively de- 

 voted to fiowers, it will no doubt have 

 a large circulation. 



New York. Mrs. O. A. Adams. 



I am more delighted with The Floral 

 World than I can say. 



Mrs. John R. Woodhull. 

 New York. 



WINTER BEAUTY. 



Roman hyacinths will soon have 

 spent their strength in blooms, and 

 the Dutch hyacinths will fill their 

 places. Some of these will be brought 

 to the light early in January, yet others
