THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



123 



To Our New Friends 



HIS month perhaps you see THE GARDEN MAG- 

 AZINE for the first time. If this number is helpful 

 and interesting to you do you not think that 

 the magazine will, in the twelve months to 

 come, bring you inspiration and suggestions 

 worth a dollar for the whole year. 



We have planned for the coming year 

 a series of issues that will each one deal 

 with an important phase of gardening 

 vital to the complete success of the gar- 

 den—things that you find pleasure and 

 profit in knowing at the proper time. 



We mention below a few of the subjects 

 our editors are already working upon.

In June we shall tell you a new and better way of 

 planting your melon, cucumber and other vegetable vines, 

 as well as the tender bedding plants, such as Cannas. This 

 number will be out on May 15th. 



The July number will have the best directions for 

 getting succession crops of vegetables, that have ever 

 appeared. It will tell you everything that you ought to 

 plant in July in order to have plenty of fresh vegetables 

 even in October and November, and through the winter. 



August is the best month in the year to build a 

 greenhouse, and we shall show an incredible variety of 

 little greenhouses, conservatories, window gardens, etc., 

 costing less than $300. 



The Great Fall Planting Number in October will 

 be a complete manual for the increasing number of peo- 

 ple who believe the Autumn is the season for setting out 

 orchards, trees, shrubs, fruits and vines, to gain a year in 



their growth. This large double issue will also cover very 

 comprehensively the subject of hardy perennials for Fall 

 planting, and the bulbs that bloom in the Spring. 



The November number deals more helpfully with 

 the subject of " The Winter Protection of Plants " than 

 the subject has ever before been treated in any magazine, 

 and readers may make a great saving in trees, shrubs and 

 flowers. Next month, in the May issue, we shall tell you 

 " Why Your Plants Died Last Winter " — although it was 

 apparently the mildest on record. 



December and January are the months of w-indow gar- 

 dens, greenhouses, and the recounting of the achievements 

 of the year past, made up of the contributions of our readers. 

 These numbers also plan out the work of the coming season. 



During the year there will be many more planting 

 plans such as appear in this number. They should be 

 worth $150 to anyone who wishes to use them. 



An investment of $1.00 in this way is simply garden insurance — 

 your garden cannot fail. "The Garden Magazine is as necessary to 

 my garden as sunshine," writes a gardener of some repute.
