THEY LIKE THE FLORAL WORLD. 



The Floral World is just what ama- 

 teurs need — a paper for them alone. 

 Ohio. Annice B. Oalland. 



I wish you every success with this 

 bright little magazine. I take other 

 floral works, but think we can not re- 

 ceive too much information on floral 

 culture. 



Mich. Mrs. A. Z. Hoyt. 



I certainly want the magazine, and 

 am crazy to read about flowers. I will 

 take it as long as it is printed, if it is" 

 as good as now. 



Maine. Caroline P. Adams. 



I am very much pleased with the 

 magazine and I look for its coming 

 each month with much interest. I 

 have already profited by it in a ma- 

 terial way, for I have followed the di- 

 rections in the October number, in 

 regard to hyacinths, which I tried for 

 the first time, and my success is be- 

 yond my expectation. 



Massachusetts. Teacher. 



Let The Floral World be just what 

 it started out to be — strictly amateur 

 experience. Do not think of such a 

 thing as discontinuing our magazine. 

 We need the plain, every-day experi- 

 ence of home flower-growers, much 

 more than the elaborate descriptions 

 of flne greenhouses and park decora- 

 tions. It is our "private homes" that 

 we strive to beautify, and no one is 



better able to help us than the suc- 

 cessful amateur. 

 Iowa. Mrs. P. W. Hopkins. 



This is the first journal I have ever 

 seen that meets the demands of all. 

 A good many women are perhaps situ- 

 ated much as I am. On a large farm, 

 with lots of work to do and a family 

 of children to care for, I find very lit- 

 tle time to spend with fiowers, and I 

 am so glad I have at last found a jour- 

 nal that W7ll instruct me in selecting 

 fiowers and bulbs that are easily 

 grown, and the kind of soil and care 

 they need to make them grow and 

 bloom. I earnestly hope the publica- 

 tion of The Floral World will be car- 

 ried on, for it is just the journal I 

 want. 



Mich. Mrs. F. L. Perrine. 



Long live The Floral World! We 

 are not going to give it up. It is 

 meeting the demand of a long-felt 

 need. A journal of home fioriculture 

 is what we amateurs want, and that is 

 the kind of stuff we find in The Floral 

 World. It is just the journal for the 

 thousands of beginners (and those 

 who are not beginners), who do not 

 care to subscribe to an expensive 

 floral journal. Practical experience is 

 what we want to read about, instead 

 of tourists' travels and hot-house man- 

 agement. I hope success will crown 

 your efforts. We want something 

 short and easy to digest. The Floral 

 World is my ideal. 



Indiana. R. A. HoucK.
