A BOOK on gardening for the home-maker by the 

 foremost amateur gardener of the United States. 

 It treats of all phases of the subject, from the 

 simple bed or two along the fence, in a city back 

 yard, to the most ambitious garden the happy subur- 

 banite or country dweller can manage without the ser- 

 vices of a professional. 



The growing of house plants and the use of plants for 

 household and table decoration are thoroughly de- 

 scribed, and a couple of chapters on rural and village 

 improvement carry the home-gardening plan into the 

 larger field of community work. 



"It contains clear and definite instruction.*' 



— The Outlook, New York. 



"One of the most really helpful of recent garden books." 

 — House Beautiful, Chicago. 



"The author's language is simple, his style is popular, 

 and he gives facts and instruction in an easily unaerstood 

 form." — The Dial, Chicago. 



"A gathering into one unusually attractive volume, from 

 the standpoint of the maker of books, of all the knowledge 

 which has been coming piecemeal from this prolific writer 

 on the gentle subject through many years." 



—New York Times.
