change their cold, bleak liotmm in the 
Eiist., lor homes of comfort in our genial 
and health-giving climate of Southern 
California. 
The (lifeillation of 5.000 copier each 
month of the Sr vi-Tropic has been done at 
the i-vppUHe of a few. and the benefit> 
have hi eti anil will be reaped by nil. Shall 
we continue our Eastern eueiiiuiioii? Our 
home circulation is larger than any other 
agricultural or horticultural paper on this
