HANDSOMEST FARM 
PAPER IN AMERICA

GUARANTEED FOR 1905 
No Circulation Secrets 
has been a motto of The 
Fruit-Grower since the 
paper was started. The 
statement below, showing 
the conservative growth 
during the past seven ' 
years, will give an idea of 
the substantial character 
of our circulation. No 
fake subscription schemes 
have ever been used, and 
few names have been 
added through the med¬ 
ium of premiums. The 
list has increased solely on 
the merits of The Fruit- 
Grower. It is worth the 
money.
