THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



October, 1907 



"To business that we love we rise betime 

 And go to 't with delight." — Antony and Cleopatra 



THE COLLECTED VERSE OF RUDYARD KIPLING 



It is a real pleasure to announce that in 

 October sometime we shall publish in a 

 single volume the Collected Verse of Rudyard 

 Kipling. For years such a book has been 

 needed, but anyone who desired to own Mr. 

 Kipling's verses was obliged to purchase 

 several volumes. 



The book has been carefully prepared by 

 the author, some verses which he did not wish 

 to include in the collected edition rejected, 

 and some new ones added. 



In the same connection should be men- 

 tioned a new edition of " The Brushwood 

 Boy," in a charming volume by itself, with 

 illustrations in color by F. H. Townsend, who 

 drew the pictures for the single volume edition 

 of " They." 



THE BUILDING NUMBER OF COUNTRY LIFE 

 IN AMERICA 



Every year at this time we publish all the 

 good articles about the building of a country 

 house that we have been able to collect during 

 the past twelve-month. We hope we do the 

 job better, and get better material each year. 



At all events, it is not saying too much to Another November article will be devoted to 



claim for this double number of Country Gardening in Texas.
