A/TANY friends of The Garden Magazine will wish to send the magazine to friends of theirs in time to include this 25-cent Fall 

 ■*-*-*- Planting Number (soon to be out of print), without extra charge, and with also the big double Planting Number for next April, 

 included in a dollar subscription. Or they will recommend their friends to subscribe for themselves at this opportune time. 



During the month (until October 1st) we will give FREE, as a premium, a copy of " How to Plan the Home Grounds." by Samuel 

 Parsons, Jr., the most helpful and up-to-date book at any time of the year and a complete general guide to planting, to anybody who is 

 already a subscriber who will send us one more yearly subscription for $1.00. Our only condition is that the subscription must not be 

 a renewal, nor for yourself. It must be a subscription to be given to, or purchased for, somebody else. And it can be purchased 

 only by somebody who is already a subscriber. Subscriptions sent in before this time or later than October 31st cannot secure the premium. 



How to Plan the Home Grounds. 



Samuel Parsons, Jr., the author, is a Fellow of the Society of American 

 Landscape Architects, and was for years Superintendent of the New York 

 Parks. He gives practical directions not only for laying out the home 

 grounds, selection of site, the care and making of roads and paths, lawns, 

 woodlands, hedges, gardens, selection of plants and trees, etc., but also in a 

 second section he treats of the village improvements, designed to elevate 



public taste, as it concerns the highways, the schoolhouses, 



the stations, and the village outdoor life generally.

The Best Investment You Can Make Now 



is to begin binding the numbers of The Garden Magazine in beautiful permanent 

 volumes. We do it for you at a nominal expense. It is the best way to preserve 

 the copies. 



We have now ready an attractive permanent cloth binding for Volume I (February to July inclusive), gold stamped, which we 

 will supply for your local binder to stitch on. Price, 50 cents. 



Or, if the six copies of the magazine are returned to us by express, prepaid, we will return the volume neatly bound. Our charge 

 for the binder and the work is 75 cents. 



Back numbers will be supplied by us for 10 cents each, excepting the first (February) and 

 third (April) numbers, which unfortunately are entirely out of print. 



However, we have already bound a number of complete volumes, the price of which is $1.35 

 each. Any copies of the incomplete file of Volume I. which are returned to us prepaid (with no 

 duplicate numbers) will be credited on this bill at 10 cents each. 



Index for volume I. sent free on request to those who bind their own volume. 



In returning copies mark your name and address plainly on the package.
