A Premium for the Subscriber, 
A Premium for the Club Agent, and 
To the persons who send the greatest number of 
Subscribers before March 1st, 1884. 
The great favor with which Seed-Time and Harvest has already been received, hat. 
instilled in us the belief that if more widely known, its circulation might rapidly rise 
into the hundred thousands with the Metropolitan journals. 
To induce every one of its present readers to show it to all of his neighbors, we have 
decided to offer the most liberal premiums and prizes ever yet combined on any Ameri¬ 
can journal. And we have arranged these so that all who engage in the work must be 
well repaid for every hour’s time spent in our behalf. 
Our plan is briefly as follows: At the bottom of the third cover-page of this issue, 
will be found a Seed Certificate, which will be countersigned in the first copy sent to a 
new subscriber, thus giving each who pays 50 cents a premium worth 25 cents in cash 
This ought surely to be inducement enough for any person who is at all interested in 
gardening, to subscribe if asked. The club getter may then keep 10 coots cash com 
mission from each, remitting us 40 cents each, or, if preferred, send us the whole amount 
collected, 50 cents each, and take premiums from our list to the value of 25 cents for 
each name sent in, or one-half the whole amount sent us. This will give good pay to 
all who will work. Ten subscribers per day would be a very low estimate, but it will 
give the agent One Dollar in cash, or $2.50 worth of his choice of our premiums, which 
are all well worth the price named for them. 
1 hen as an additional stimulant, to induce all to make their lists as large as possible, 
we offer $500 in cash to the persons who send the largest number of subscribers between 
this date and March 1st, 18$4. 
This money is offered in good faith and will positively be paid in exact accordance 
with the terms on which it is offered. It will be divided as follows: 
To the person who shall send the largest list of yearly subscribers to Seed-Time am 
H arvest before March 1st, 1884, will be paid cash. $200.Or 
To the person sending the second largest list . 100.00 
To the person sending the third largest list. 75.00 
To the person sending the fourth largest list. 50.0* 
To the person sending the fifth largest list. 25.Of 
To the person sending the sixth largest list. 20.Oi 
To the person sending the seventh largest list. 15.Oo 
To the person sending the eighth largest list. . 10.0o 
To the person sending the ninth largest list. 5.00 
In previous offers of this kind, we have been surprised at the small number required 
to take a cash prize. We firmly believe that any person, now out of employment, wln> 
will work faithfully at this business, during the specified time, will receive better pay 
than he would ask if engaged to work on salary.
