THE GARDEN MAGAZINE EOR JULY 



It is not true that the middle of June sees 

 the end of the gardening season, as the July 

 Garden Magazine will prove most emphat- 

 ically. As a matter of fact, the month of 

 July should be a very busy time for anyone 

 who is anxious to have a cellarful of vege- 

 tables to carry over the winter. Two 

 articles are especially interesting in this re- 

 spect; one explains what was actually done 

 in a garden last year, in which nothing was 

 planted before the Fourth of July. The 

 second article takes up the proper succession 

 of crops, where to plant them, and just what 

 kinds to grow, following out the suggestions 

 laid down in the January number. Another 

 seasonable contribution deals with the 

 peppers. Another of Prof. Fletcher's prac- 

 tical fruit talks for the home gardener takes 

 up raspberries, blackberries, and dewberries, 

 which everybody should have so much better 

 than they can possibly be bought — they are 

 so very easy to grow. In the Quality Vege- 

 table series, lettuces are treated, and other 

 articles deal with the day blooming tender 

 water-lilies, and with the delightful com- 

 panions of the rhododendron, the heaths and 

 andromedas, which have such subtle charms. 

 Every page of this unique summer number 

 teems with practical advice, and is an in- 

 spiration for effort toward rich results for 

 next fall and winter. 



THE NEW CYCLOPEDIA OF HORTICULTURE 



To every reader of The Garden Mag- 

 azine we offer the new and revised edition 



of Professor Liberty H. Bailey's "Cyclo- 

 pedia of American Horticulture" at $4 a 

 Volume. The regular price is $5. The 

 price of the complete set in six volumes is 

 $30, or $24 net to the readers of this maga- 

 zine for the first printing. 



THE NATURE LIBRARY 

 is one other necessary work for country 

 lovers. Here is what one recent purchaser 

 said of the set: "Every volume of the set 

 is so clearly written that it would interest 

 even a small child. The illustrations, true to 

 the nature of the subject, seem to imbue 

 one with a thirst to read and to have it as a 

 reliable guide to the haunts and homes of 

 birds, animals, flowers, etc." 



VOLUME I. IN PRINT AGAIN 



The demand for the bound volumes of 

 The Garden Magazine has made it nec- 

 essary to reprint two numbers at a good deal 

 of inconvenience, and at more expense than 

 the numbers will bring. It is a great source 

 of gratification that so many readers want the 

 early issues. For a time at least, now, we 

 can supply any number of The Garden 

 Magazine. 



country life in america for june 

 is the useful and beautiful vacation annual, 

 a manual of where to go and how to manage 

 an unusual summer holiday. It tells of 

 some fifty ways of spending a vacation. 



FARMING FOR JUNE 



Our new magazine prospers finely. If 

 any reader has a farm or ever hopes to own 

 a farm, we wish he would risk a dollar for a 



year's subscription. We will refund the 

 dollar if he is not entirely satisfied. The 

 June number is filled with live articles di- 

 rect from the experiences of successful men, 

 and covering a wide field of farm activity. 



THE WORLD'S WORK 



The June issue is like its predecessors, 

 a cheerful record of progress— not alone in 

 America. Among the notable articles that 

 will appear is "Bridging the Gorge of the 

 Zambesi," the story of the cantilever span 

 flung across a canyon 350 feet deep; "The 

 New State of Oklahoma," by Mr. M. G. 

 Cunniff , showing how our new commonwealth 

 has become a full-grown state; "The Scenic 

 Marvel of Idaho," an account of a thousand- 

 mile stream (the Snake River) which flows 

 through the bad lands, over a precipice 50 

 feet higher than Niagara. 



THE SPUR 



How Kin Severne, latent literary genius, 

 sells his future to another man to get his 

 chance, and gets it — with what result? — is 

 the story of "The Spur" by " G. B. Lan- 

 caster." It is a book about which much will 

 be heard. $1.50. 



IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT LIFE INSURANCE 



There has been a mass of literature written 

 on the subject of life insurance, but "How 

 to Buy Life Insurance" is the first book 

 that has been prepared from a purely im- 

 partial point of view in the interest of the 

 policy-holder. It is an invaluable work on 

 a subject on which every man should be 

 informed; $1.30, postpaid.
