Fall Catalogue 1896 PDF Download

Excerpt from John Lewis Childs, Fall Catalogue, 1896 How to Get Up clubs-its Great Value and Many Attrae tions-increased to Sixty-four Pages Future Improvements. There are but very few families, especially in the country who will not subscribe for the mayflower if it is brought to their attention and its merits properly set forth. Just think of it I This delightful 64-page magazine with its fine colored plates a whole year, and a premium of 20 splendid bulbs, suitable either for garden planting, or for blooming in pots during winter, for only 30 cents (in clubs of 5 or more). In addition to this the one who gets up a club receives a fine club premium for every five subscribers secured and stands a chance of getting one of our large cash prizes, regarding which see opposite page. In view of these inducements we hope that everyone who receives this Catalogue will at once set about getting up a club. By showing the colored plate of the 20 premium bulbs, on cover of this Catalogue, and calling attention to all the good points of the mayflower, as per opposite page, (only part of which are, for lack of space, mentioned) it will take but little effort to get most of your friends and neighbors to sub scribe thereby securing some club premiums, possibly a cash prize, besides doing your friends a kindness in getting them the mayflower for a year, and 20 fine bulbs, for only 30 cents. The bulbs are all strictly first-class, just imported, and would cost more than double the subscription price, were one to purchase them. The mayflower has 64 or more pages each month, bound in beautiful covers, with elegant illustrations and one or two superb colored plates in each issue. There are to be many special articles during the coming year from noted writers, and some of our issues will be largely devoted to special subjects For instance, in the January number we shall describe and com ment on all the leading novelties in Seeds, Bulbs and Plants. In the March number Fruits and Vegetables will receive special attention. July, all about wild flowers. September, hardy or fall bulbs, and their culture. November, house plants for winter, etc. Each one of these num bers will be of special value. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
