AWORDTO OUR FRIENDS 



We have every reason to believe, from interviews witli the 

 Third Assistant Postmaster General of the United States, that 

 upon presentation to him of the present issue of The Floral 

 World it will be accorded mailing privileges as second-class 

 matter. 



If this is done. The Floral World will have the same 

 rights as other legitimate publications, and will be in position 

 to assure its future by meeting the demand Avhich has called it 

 into existence —the need for a practical journal wholly devoted * 

 to flower growing in the home. 



We need your help, of course, in bringing The Floral 

 World to the attention of those who are interested in its mis- 

 sion. Our aim will always be to give you a journal so practi- 

 cal and so helpful that you will be glad to recominend it. 

 Kindly say a good word for our little magazine on every 

 possible occasion. 



The postoffice department having refused to recognize The 

 Floral AYorld as a legitimate publication while the prizes 

 offered by us for the best contributions were awarded by vote 

 of our subscribers, that feature has been eliminated. The 

 editor will be glad to have your assistance in selecting the prize- 

 winners, however, and you are invited to write us freely each 

 month as to the articles which you regard as the most helpful.
