Flowers are Nature’s sweetest gift to man. They are loved and admired by all, 
but not every one has success in growing them. My business is the sale ol plants, 
seeds and bulbs, but my interest in your purchase does not end when your order has 
been filled. I want your flowers to grow and bloom, and it is my desire to give you 
all the help I can in making them do so. It is with great pleasure, therefore, that I 
announce to my customers the completion or arrangements which will enable mo to 
give free with every order sent me, to amount of $2, a subscription for one year, to 
the best, brightest and most practical floral journal in existence. 
How to Grow Flowers is the title of this magazine — and no publication wah 
ever more aptly named. Its columns supply all the information one needs in order 
to have success with flowers. “How to Grow Flowers” tells you what to do, when to 
do it and how—when and how to water, when and how to prune, what amount of heat 
should be given the various kinds of plants, Avlien and how much; it gives the best 
m tlioJs of planting and tells how best to protect plants in winter, describes the 
best varie ies, etc. ■- In short, it is an up-to-date encyclopedia on floral information 
which no lover of flowers can afford to bo without. 
The Only Publics ion of its Kind. “ How to Grow Flowers” is owned and con¬ 
ducted entirely independent of connection with any firm of florists. Its articles arc 
disinterested and reliable—prepared solely to help you with your flowers and not 
for the purpose of selling you some particular plant. This magazine is the only in¬ 
dependent publication in the country devoted to home floriculture. It is the only 
one printed on fine book pap* rand illustrated with “half-tone” engravings — repro¬ 
ductions of photographs. The pictures iu “How to Grow Flowers” show flowers 
as they actually are. Every number of this great magazine contains thirty-six largo 
pages, elegantly printed and beautifully illustrated, and in every way it is the equal 
of publications which sell for a dollar a year.

for “ How to Grow Flowers,” and it is my earnest desire to have them become such. 
Ey reason of a special arrangement with the publishers i f this magazine, I am now 
able to make you au offer which has no parallel in liberality. It is as IoIIoavs : 
To every person sending me §2 for seed, bulbs or plants, I will send the maga¬ 
zine free for one year.

( 11.25 in all.) 
On a 50 -cent order for 30 cents. (80 cents in all.) 
And in connection with any order, no matter how small, for 35 cents.
