Bf This is a Department devoted to the benefit of the Young People, and yet we are told that 
it is the place a good many of the old folks look for the moment the Magazine is received. 
Wo try to make it very interesting as well as profitable, so we are giving a good deal of informa¬ 
tion about Botany, and our young people who have read this Department carefully know more 
about the construction of flowers than a good many men who think they are very wise. 
TERMS — Our price for the Magazine is $1.25 per year; but to Clubs of FIVE or 
more we charge only ONE DOLLAR each. 
y As a slight compensation to those who labor among their neighbors in getting up Clubs I 
psopose to give one of my Floral Chromos, on paper, to every one who sends a Club of 
Five Subscribers, with $5 ; and for Twelve Subscribers, with $12, one of our Chromos 
on Cloih and Stretcher, both sent postage free. To any person sending Twenty Sub¬ 
scribers, with $20 in payment, I will forward by Express, expressage paid by me, one of my 
Floral Chromos Nicely Framed in Walnut and Gilt. For sketches of Chromos see cover. 
^The Magazine we put at a trifle over actual cost, so that all may take it. We want to keep 
up $ monthly correspondence with our customers, so we look upon our Magazine as a printed 
letter, in Let, a Magazine of letters, for we print hundreds of communications from our customers. 
All our friends, we hope, will take an interest in this work, and not only subscribe themselves, 
but try to have their neighbors do the same. 
Specimen Numbers will be sent free to those who wish to get up Clubs. 
Those who desire to be fully informed respecting the history, 
character or culture of any plants can find all the information they 
desire in Vick’s Flower and Vegetable Garden, where full 
descriptions are given and modes of culture explained. The 
Flower and Vegetable Garden is the most useful and beau¬ 
tiful and popular work on this subject in the world, and at the same time the cheapest —50 cents 
in paper covers, and $ 1.00 in elegant cloth covers. In addition to the valuable matter it con¬ 
tains Hundreds of Illustrations and Six Colored Plates, showing a group of Annuals , bou¬ 
quets of Perennials , Hardy Bulbs, Tender Bulbs, Holland Bulbs, and a collection of Vegetable.
