Suggestions for the Utilizing of Home Grounds. 12 mo., cloth, 350

Here is a book literally "for the million" who in broad America have
some love for growing things. It is useful alike to the owner of a
suburban garden plot and to the owner of a "little place" in the
country. Written by the Professor of Horticulture at Cornell University
it tells of ornamental gardening of any range, treats of fruits and
vegetables for home use, and cannot fail to instruct, inspire and
educate the reader.
THE PRACTICAL GARDEN BOOK, by C. E. Hunn and L. H. Bailey.
Containing the simplest directions for growing the commonest things
about the house and garden. Profusely illustrated. 12 mo., cloth. Just
the book for the busy man or woman who wants the most direct practical
information as to just how to plant, prune, train and to care for all
the common fruits, flowers, vegetables, or ornamental bushes and trees.
Arranged alphabetically, like a minature encyclopedia, it has articles
on the making of lawns, borders, hot-beds, window gardening, lists of
plants for particular purposes, etc.
A WOMAN'S HARDY GARDEN, by Helena Rutherfurd Ely. With forty-nine
illustrations from photographs taken in the author's garden by Prof.
C. F. Chandler. 12 mo., cloth.
A superbly illustrated volume, appealing especially to the many men
and women whose love of flowers and all things green is a passion so
strong that it often seems to be a sort of primal instinct, coming down
through generation after generation from the first man who was put into
a garden "to dress it and keep it." The instructions as to planting,
maintenance, etc., are clear and comprehensive, and can be read and
practiced with profit by both amateur and professional.
