ON FORMING A GARDEN CLUB 



material to be read by different ones, by accumu- 

 lating such material and by consulting the files of 

 the delightful and lamented paper, "Garden and 

 Forest"; look back at your old copies of "House 

 and Garden" for articles by experts. Cultural and 

 horticultural advice ten or fifteen or forty years 

 old, for the same climate, is in many respects as 

 good to-day as when freshly written. Here is a 

 list of suggested topics for papers, gathered from 

 various som-ces, with one or two original sugges- 

 tions whose value I admit is debatable: 



"Spring or Fall Planting, Which.?" 



"The Twelve Best Seed Catalogues Now Cur- 

 rent." 



"The Question of the Fence." 



"Other People's Gardens." 



"The Newer Varieties of Vegetables." 



"The New Chinese Shrubs." 



"A Garden of Irises." 



"A Green Garden." 



"Roses and Rose Culture." 



"Shrubs and Trees to Attract Birds." 



"A Joseph's Coat Garden." 



"The Artistic Use of So-called Bedding-out 

 Plants." 



"Structural Green in the Garden."
