My Growing Garden 



By J. HORACE McFARLAND Color illustrahons, $2.25 



A book filled with suggestions and practical advice. The his- 

 tor>' follows through the cycle of the year, devoting a chapter to 

 each month's changes in the growing garden. Remarkable photo- 

 graphic illustrations by the author. 



" One of the most delightful garden books of the year ... al- 

 together unique. The garden is truly a home garden, an intimate 

 part of the author's life." — Countryside Magazine. 



" The book is well printed. The many pictures, some of them 

 finely colored, are of unusual quality. The book smells of the 

 garden. A record of unflagging enthusiasm and successes and 

 failures. Admirably written, good to read aloud, and brimming 

 over with love of flowers and vegetables and trees. It carries the 

 feeling of being written by a man rather than a woman, and yet a 

 man who has all a woman's sensitiveness to beauty. For sugges- 

 tiveness and the inspiration of joy in the garden this book cannot 

 be surpassed in the long list of garden books. It has the unusual 

 merit of a very full index. The author knows what the garden 

 supplies that is good for the table, as well as the wealth of flowers 

 it affords." — The I dependent. 



" The pleasures of amateur horticulture have seldom been so 

 alluringly depicted as by Mr. J. Horace McFarland in this chatty 

 and familiar record of his own experience on a modest urban, or 

 perhaps we should say suburban, estate at Harrisburg, Pa. It is 

 a natural growth, this book of his, rather than a product of cold 

 calculation. *I have written it,' he says, 'but my family have 

 lived it with me, and the print-shop which bears my name and 

 enjoys my garden has made of the book much more than a per- 

 functory item of work. The publishers, too, have let down the 

 bars, so that in a very special sense the book has been lived, writ- 

 ten, designed, illustrated, printed, and bound as the work of one 

 man and those about him.' " — The Dial.
