This Boy won a $25.00 Prize selling _THE SATURDAY EVENING POST_ YOU can
do the same

This is the "Champion Boy" of the State of Washington. His name is Harry
Ireland. The smile on his face is due to the fact that he had in his
pocket a check for $25 from THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.

This $25 is in addition to the regular commission he receives week after
week for selling THE POST.

Harry is a hustler. The long strip of paper he holds in his hand is
covered with closely written signatures of people who have instructed
him to deliver THE POST for four consecutive weeks.

He persuaded several prominent business men to sign at the top of the
sheet and their names influenced others to sign until the list became
longer than he is tall.

This is one of the many ways we have suggested to help boys to sell THE
POST. It makes the work so easy that thousands of boys have taken it up.
Some are making $10 to $15 a week after school hours.

You can start in this business, at once, without capital. Send us your
name and we will forward 10 free copies, which you can sell at five
cents each. This will supply capital for the next week's order.

good strong plants when set out are almost sure to die. If you get them
started late do not think to hurry them by putting them out with the
others that grow faster. Wait patiently until they are at least an inch
and a half high and their quick growth will surprise you. And I will say
to comfort some one who can not have flowers because the pigs sometimes
get out, that I have never seen a pig touch a Verbena though I have lost
Pinks and other flowers growing beside them. There is another flower
that grows wild here that covered a quarter of our pasture last fail yet
was not touched. The leaves resemble a Verbena some but are wider and
not so thick; the main stalk is about two feet high when full grown and
the branches r
