[ With increasing costs and a much finer collection than offered in the Flower Grower last lune at 10c each, I had expected to find it 
necessary to make a higher price on this collection, but at the last moment, and after giving the matter much serious consideration, 
I decided to give the readers of Flower Grower the most attractive offer I have ever made.
