GEORGE H. ELLWANGER'S BOOKS. 



The Garden's Story; or, Pleasures and Trials 

 of an Amateur Gardener. 



With Head and Tail Pieces by Rhead. i6mo. Cloth, 

 $1.50. 



"A dainty, learned, charming, and delightful book." New York Sun. 



"One of the most charming books of the season. . . . This little volume, printed 

 in excellent taste, is redolent of garden fragrance and garden wisdom. . . . It is in 

 no sense a text-book, but it combines a vast deal of information with a great deal 

 of out-of-door observation, and exceedingly pleasant and sympathetic writing about 

 flowers and plants." Christian Union. 



" This dainty nugget of horticultural lore treats of the pleasures and trials of an 

 amateur gardener. From the time when daffodils begin to peer and the 'secret of 

 the year' comes in to mid-October, Mr. Ellwanger provides an outline of hardy 

 flower-gardening that can be carried on and worked upon by amateurs. . . . Nor is 

 the information of this floral calendar confined to the literary or theoretical sides. 

 'Plant thickly; it is easier and more profitable to raise flowers than weeds,' is a 

 practical direction from the garden syllabus." Philadelphia Public Ledger. 



The Story of My House. 



With an Etched Frontispiece by Sidney L. Smith, and 

 numerous Head and Tail Pieces by W. C. Greenough. 

 i2mo. Cloth, $1.50. 



"When the really perfect book of its class comes to a critic's hands, all the words 

 he has used to describe fairly satisfactory ones are inadequate for his new purpose, 

 and he feels inclined, as in this case, to stand aside and let the book speak for itself. 

 In its own way, it would be hardly possible for this daintily printed volume to do 

 better." A rt A ntateur. 



"An essay on the building of a house, with all its kaleidoscopic possibilities in 

 the way of reform, and its tantalizing successes before the fact, is always interest- 

 ing ; and the author is not niggardly in the good points he means to secure. . . . 

 The book aims only to be agreeable ; its literary flavor is pervasive, its sentiment 

 kept well in hand." New York Evening Post. 



In Gold and Silver. 



With Illustrations by W. Hamilton Gibson, A. B. Wen- 

 zell, and W. C. Greenough. i2mo. Cloth, $2.00. Edi- 

 tion de Luxe, on Japanese vellum, $5.00. 



"One of the handsomest gift-books of the year. " Philadelphia Inquirer. 

 "After spending a half-hour with ' In Gold and Silver,' one recalls the old say- 



ing, 'Precious things come in small parcels.' " Christian Intelligencer. 



"The whole book is eminently interesting, and emphatically deserv 

 very handsome and artistic setting it has received." New York Tribune.
