CHAPTER XXXI 



BOOKS FOR THE TEACHER 



In many books there is much confusion. The 

 United States Department of Agriculture furnishes 

 excellent information on many subjects, bulletins of 

 which can be obtained direct, or through Congressmen. 

 The Year Books are especially good, and some ref- 

 erences are made to show how valuable they are-. 



The following are also helpful: 



Practical Garden Book, Hunn & Bailey. 

 Principles of Vegetable Gardening, Bailey. 



The Soil, King. 



Experiments with Plants, Osterhout. 



Cornell Nature Study Leaflets N. Y. State 



and similar leaflets from Dept. of Agriculture. 



other states. 



Earthworms & Vegetable Mold, Darwin. 



The following Year Books should be in every school 

 that has a garden. The information furnished, and 

 the way it is presented, is not excelled, and is of 

 especial value to the Children's Garden.
