TO CLUB RAISERS. 
“The Floral Kingdom” on More Favorable 
Terms.— During several months we made an offer of 
the sumptuous volume entitled “ The Floral King¬ 
dom ” for clubs of Six New Yearly Subscriptions, at 
$1.25 each. We have now secured a limited supply 
of that elegant book (which was published at $6.50 
per copy) on terms more favorable than previous 
purchases, and until it is exhausted by purchasers at 
Five Dollars per copy, or by club-raisers, we will de¬ 
liver (at our office) a copy for a club of FOUR New 
Names. The express charges on the book, to points 
east of the Mississippi River, average 35 cents. 
- It was not an Irishman who wrote, “ Mr. 
Blank was a great sufferer, but he never v r as 
married.” He had the idea, but he didn’t express it 
just as the friends of the deceased would care to 
have it expressed.
